I said a while ago that I was going to rely more on my cookbook collection rather than the internet for recipe inspiration. Err, that didn’t happen too often. Oops. But I’m ready to recommit to this plan. Now I have extra motivation–I’m relocating in a few months and I won’t be able to take most of my books with me. Sad! I’ll have to make good use of them while I can.
I have a not-so-secret love for the Joy the Baker blog, as well as Joy’s podcast. (I also have a not-so-secret OBSESSION with podcasts in general. It’s a sickness, really.) Ironically, I’ve owned Joy’s book for a while now and had only made one of the recipes. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that all her recipes are sinfully delicious, and I’m convinced I won’t be able to stop myself from inhaling it all. But last month I decided to give this book the attention it deserves and made a few more of the recipes.
So far, my favorite has been her Peanut Butter Bacon Cookies. They are to die for. And, though far from being healthy, I like that they don’t have flour. It’s nice to switch it up in the kitchen like that, you know? They’re the perfect dessert for dudes, too. Well, who doesn’t love peanut butter and bacon?! Oh yeah…my vegetarian friend with a peanut allergy. But everyone else will love them, so go make a batch now!
Ah, I have a question: why do you love podcasts? I just can’t seem to get into them. I would much rather read than listen. Do you have a time when you listen to podcasts?
Also, bacon in cookies?
Maybe I’m just weird ’cause I don’t know anyone else who listens to podcasts haha. But I love it when I’m walking or commuting. Sometimes a bumpy bus ride isn’t the best time to read!
Yes, bacon is surprisingly good in desserts! Try it :)
I am a podcast junkie. Perfect vehicle for learning (about pop culture, news, etc) during commutes
I’m glad I’m not the only one!!
I love podcasts. I just recently reallllly got into NPR when I am driving or walking long distances. So I don’t eat bacon..in fact I don’t eat anything animal related..but these cookies look SO good!!
Ooo yes NPR has awesome shows. As for the cookies, maybe use salted peanuts and skip the bacon? :)
