Our favorite is Wright's Applewood. It is a thick sliced bacon. For us, this bacon has a nice balance of lean meat to fat and just the right amount of saltiness.

We had beef tacos for dinner last night and I used the leftovers for my lunch today. I reheated the leftover taco meat in the microwave; then added an avocado half and shredded cheese, and topped it all off with salsa.

Nancy, thank you for a lovely and fun blog!

Great looking meals everyone! Dinner tonight: Grilled Chicken Thighs and Green Beans. The chicken was seasoned with Lawry's Seasoned Salt, Paprika, Granulated Garlic and Black Pepper, then grilled until the skin was really crispy.

Comfort food. A favorite combination from early on: Braunschweiger on Toast with Mayo and Potato Chips

Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast with Garlic Sauce - I added a bit of panko to the parmesan breading this time and really like the added crunch. The garlic sauce may be my favorite part - heavy cream, butter, parmesan and granulated garlic. Forgot to take a photo of the salad that accompanied the chicken.

I brown my panko breaded chicken in a small amount of olive oil, drain on paper towels and then place them on top of the sauce in a baking dish. I top the cutlets with shredded parmesan and mozzarella, then bake in a 400F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheeses are melted and lightly browned. I love the crust the melted cheese makes.

Sorry, no photo of the finished meal but I did take one of the kitchen during prep. We had Chicken Piccata, steamed asparagus and a tossed salad.

One of my favorites, leftover pizza. This slice was reheated in my toaster oven.

Really looking forward to her blog!

Thank you liuzhou and Ann_T. I was really happy with the substitution. When I had made the original recipe with bacon, I had some issues with the bacon not getting done enough before the pork was cooked. Not a problem with the proscuitto. I did add a little bit of bacon drippings to the roasting pan and the peas though. And now I must make pizza tonight! I bake mine on a pre-heated steel in the oven much as you described, Ann. Wood oven flavor would be a definite plus.

Inspired by Ann_T's Proscuitto Wrapped Pork Tenderloin earlier this month, I changed out the bacon on an Eric Ripert recipe for proscuitto. Proscuitto Wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Peas "a la Francaise"

Using up holiday leftovers! The last of the Christmas turkey went into Tortilla Soup for dinner last night. And tonight's dinner was Ham and Bean Soup that had been made and frozen from Thanksgiving's ham bone and trimmings with Cornbread.

Rye, of any kind, is my favorite bread for toast. Lightly toasted and buttered. But I also love plain bagels and English muffins, toasted to medium, and slathered with butter and cream cheese.

We had a small turkey this year, roasted in the oven, with our usual sides. I have always stuffed the bird, but this year I baked the dressing in a separate pan and basted the bird with duck fat. Both turned out great! With just the two of us, we have lots of leftovers!
