Bacon Wrapped Tater Tots



My husband and I were watching Man Vs Food over the weekend and one of the featured items was deep fried tater tots that had been wrapped in bacon, then smothered with cheese.     He asked if I could make them at home, and has been hounding me since.

All I had on hand were the mini tots, so mine cooked in closer to 2 mins.   Let the tots sit until you can get a toothpick through them, or else you'll have a hard time getting the bacon to stay on the tot!

I had mine with the jalapeno slice, no cheese and dipped them in Sweet Baby Ray's Raspberry Chipotle BBQ sauce. So good!

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract. 

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
