    Broccoli salad! So yummy, not a lot of work, and pretty good for you too! Just make sure you cook the bacon until it's nice a crunchy!

    BLT Dip!

    Light mayo, shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, a pound of crumbled/cooked bacon. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with bread chips.

    Jalapeno poppers are definitely my fave.

    Slice jalapenos in half, remove innards and seeds. Stick a wedge of cream cheese in each half.

    Wrap with bacon. You can use toothpicks to hold in place, or just wrap so it overlaps and holds itself around the jalapeno.

    Throw in the oven until melty soft and gooey. You can also throw it under the broiler to make everything extra crispy.

    If you do this one, make sure you put the lettuce in a few hours before the party and not the night before. It gets soggy.

    You're better off just skipping the bacon party.

    Send me the address, and I'll go in your place :tongue:

    Mmm... bacon... the gateway meat. I've always wanted to try making maple bacon muffins, but a slightly healthier version. Something with sugar free maple syrup and applesauce instead of oil, and bacon sprinkled on top. If you're set on going to this bacon party, you could try making that, and then let me know how it turns out!

    Bacon wrapped shrimp. Each one only takes half a strip of bacon and are delish! I used a bbq seasoning on the shrimp and included bbq sauce for dipping but they didn't need it.

    Just cook the sauce seperately, then you can control how much you use.

    There is such a stigma against bacon, when really it's not even more calories/fat than an avocado. With that said, you could always make a stir-fry with the bacon/bacon fat. Add some onions, mushrooms, broccoli, carrot, bell pepper... anything really. Maybe even add some siracha and soy sauce with some brown rice... and bam! Some delicious, healthier fried rice.

    While channel surfing, I came across a cooking show and Chef Michael was wrapping a chopped carrot (about 2 in long) with a slice of bacon. Now I'm one of those "everything is better when wrapped in bacon" types but a carrot? Oh well, giving him the benefit of the doubt I continued to watch as he secured the bacon slice with a toothpick and then stood up all the bacon wrapped carrot pieces on a pan and cooked them in the oven until the bacowas crisp. He removed the pan from the oven and then took out the toothpicks and seperated the carrots from the bacon tubes. He then threw the carrots away and filled up the bacon tubes with a salmon mouse (cannoli style). I thought it was brilliant and the mind reeled at all the other stuffings you could fill the bacon tubes with. I'd be eating 'em like popcorn!
