I received one of her cookbooks as a gift. Darned near gained weight just READING the recipes. I think she starts most of them with butter, cream cheese and regular mayo!!! YIKES. Hey, I love bacon, but even though it's mostly fat, there are only about 70 calories in one piece...and you can just eat the lean parts if you choose to. It's all about portion control anyway so if you love the high cal recipes, enjoy, just watch the size and how often you indulge. The more you work-out, the more you can get away with too - I love that !!carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01863837914353193182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-67888781524189191492011-03-01T18:57:19.663-06:002011-03-01T18:57:19.663-06:00Hello everybody.

If you are going to eat one of those things, you might as well slice the bread length-wise and plop 12 slices of nicely crisped bacon on top of 1/2 cup of peanut butter and an extra large sliced banana.<br /><br />Funny that grammar and sentence structure should be a topic today.<br /><br />Gunghy, LOL, I think the Food Network left a little to be desired in their instructions. I believe that "optional" should have followed "12 slices bacon", not "sauteed until crispy". <br /><br />Dennis, I hadn't noticed, but if butter and frying are involved, Paula Deen is sure to be in the neighborhood!Clear Ayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14463641770718104835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-7449343255378563592011-03-01T18:24:53.809-06:002011-03-01T18:24:53.809-06:00Carol, eddyB, thanks; already ordered.
