Sounds delish! A local restaurant makes bacon wrapped water chestnuts with a teriyaki sauce and charges $9.95 for only 15. Maybe you could post something for everyone. Love your site! Oh, by the way, we are talking Napa, Ca…
Thanks for the suggestion – sounds delicious and something I’ll have to try to create!
Ooh, so many wonderful bacon-y recipes! Love those bacon twists and the cheddar biscuits.
You really can’t go wrong with bacon!
Bacon for a year would be AMAZING! My husband would love that!
