Mushroom Bacon Cream Sauce
I’m a huge fan of Bacon and Mushrooms. I just think that together they have a great flavor that goes well with anything like Pizza, Red Meat, Poultry, Seafood, Pasta and Vegetables. This is a cream style sauce that is light, pretty quick and easy to make and is just full of flavor. Add some Peas and Carrots and this can even be topped with parmesan cheese and used as a cream sauce for raviolis or linguini just like alfredo.

They’re a nice way to switch up the menu and they jsut explode with flavor from sitting and grilling / steaming with all that bacon and butter. Plus, with being so easy to cook, you can throw these on the grill off to the side with some corn and let them cook up while you’re finishing the steaks.

D.I.Y. Cold Smoker
Cold Smoking is needed if you want to smoke cheese, olives, fish and other items that don’t need a high heat to cook, or items that you want to impart a nice strong smokey flavor. I’ve seen these from time to time and gave it a try the other weekend. It turned out pretty good and was a fun little 2 hour project while sipping on a cold beer with some good tunes.
