The Thursday Thirteen – July 17, 2014

It seems to me that I may be developing an addiction when it comes to bacon. Three of my thirteen contain bacon, and I bet I could sneak it into a few more if I really tried. Thank goodness I have two-pounds in my fridge right now, and half a pound cooked in the freezer; I have a feeling I’m going to be in need of it.

Damn Delicious had me at bacon; I can’t wait to make this Bacon Corn Dip for our next poker night.
