Bacon, Bacon!


I have to admit that I love bacon. It is great at breakfast or anytime and adds flavor to soups and sandwiches and it can be added to slow-cooked foods like short ribs to add complexity of flavor to a long-simmering sauce.

When eating crispy slices of fried bacon for breakfast, it pays to buy a premium brand such as Applegate Farms. The flavor of this bacon is sensational and it is produced without nitrites.

(Nitrites are added to meats to prevent bacterial growth and to give a deeper red color to the meat. Nitrites are thought by many to increase the risk of some cancers, DNA mutations, brain tumors and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or COPD).
