We are living in trying times, and for some it can be really scary. Families are often faced with making a decision between putting food on the table or purchasing medication or enough fuel to make it to work. To add insult to an already injured budget, families that have budgets that have long included the school system feeding each child two meals a day, five days per week, can no longer claim that security. Companies are laying off their employees or are closing all together, leaving many without jobs and uncertain futures.

I love to bake. It is one of my hobbies. I like to stand in the kitchen and look up a recipe and then make it my own. A lot of people claim that their chocolate chip cookies are the best, but I think my cookies are pretty good and very edible. I am not a cookie connoisseur or anyone that knows anything about food, but the cookies that I make turn out great every time. I am not saying that they are to die for, but I think about my own chocolate chip cookies a lot. I crave them a lot as well. I am a big food fanatic and cookies are one of the favorite things to make. I had a really hard time finding a recipe that fits my liking, so with a few adjustments I found the perfect recipe that works for me.

This is the easiest way to make good looking food for any occasion, it couldn't be easier, it comes half made! It's basically delicious cheating. Even I can make it and I don't know my arse from my elbow. So get off your elbows and make this tasty morsel (worst joke ever).

I love nuts of all kinds. They are delicious, healthy, and do a great job of helping you sustain energy and feel full. I love them raw, lightly salted, smoked......you name it I will eat it.

With many fast food restaurants and takeaways shut due to the coronavirus lockdown, like many, I’ve found myself having to dust off the pots and pans and cook up some new meals.

I took inspiration for this from lemon ricotta pancakes - and if you’ve never added ricotta to a pancake recipe you don’t know what you’re missing. Ricotta, just like yogurt adds moisture to a bread or cake recipe ricotta however, has a lighter flavor and allows the lemon and thyme to shine through in this poundcake. It will work perfectly as a dessert or an addition to your afternoon tea. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Blueberry jam is an old favorite, but this lemon blueberry jam recipe gives it a new tangy twist. The lemon flavor isn't overwhelming, it's more of a blueberry jam with a tangy lemon finish. It's a great summer flavor and goes perfectly on pancakes, or on just the usual English muffin or toast in the morning, and by using the Instant Pot it's simple and quick to make. The recipe yields 2-3 half-pint jars, so be prepared to either can the extra jam or halve the recipe if you don't think you can consume that much before it will go bad (if you don't know how, learning how to can & preserve food is super simple).

Good morning, welcome, grab a drink, have a seat, and cheers to the best blog on these internet streets.

I love eating outside to the point that I recently started a blog of places to eat and drink on Long Island. With that said, I also know that my financial means do not give me the ability to eat out all the time. Thankfully, I love cooking as much as dining out so, trying to recreate a delicious dish is something up my alley!

I post roughly one recipe on this blog every month, depending on how I’m feeling, but I felt like posting a little more this month because obviously, I have time to do it. As everyone’s focusing more heavily on cooking at home, I’ll probably keep posting these a little more frequently over the next month or so. We’ll see what happens.

Hi, all! Can you believe it’s been a whole year since I launched Bacon and Breadcrumbs? Neither can I! It’s been quite a journey. For those who have been reading along since the beginning, thank you so much for your support. And if this is your first visit to the blog, welcome!

As the coronavirus sweeps the globe, affecting life as we know it, we are in the midst of a bout of panic buying, where the shelves of our stores are being wiped clean of basic provisions.
