Bacon Egg Salad Sandwich
Great bacon recipes continue with this delicious twist on a the classic egg salad. This Bacon Egg Salad Sandwich is perfect for any meal of the day.
We sure love egg salad! How about you? It’s such an easy recipe that the whole family absolutely loves. Which is why we decided to kick it up with some heavenly oven cooked bacon for bacon month. Honestly, I can’t believe we never did this before. It’s so simple & really the perfect thing to add to a great egg salad recipe. All that crispy, salty bacon mixed in with the eggs – oh my. Seriously, I was so excited to eat this that I was rushing though taking these pictures just so I could get back to the kitchen & have a bite. I was really sad when I was so full after one sandwich that I couldn’t have just a little more.
You see, we typically make our egg salad as a slider – on some Parmesan toasted baguettes. It’s pretty darn good that way. I love every bite. But changing it up & adding it to this big fat croissant was a great choice. Oh my – it was SO GOOD. We really have to make this more often. I certainly didn’t get enough the first time.
Bacon Egg Salad Sandwich
Ingredients
- 18 hard boiled eggs
- 2 tbsp drained pickle relish we use dill but you can also use sweet
- 1 tbsp minced garlic

Peanut Butter & Jelly Arepas
I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Influence Central for P.A.N. Cornmeal. I received product samples as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
An American twist on the classic Venezuelan dish, these Peanut Butter & Jelly Arepas are absolutely divine. Great easy recipe sandwich alternative.
Have you ever had arepas? They are a classic Venezuelan recipe made with white cornmeal like you see above, that is so versatile. Typically prepared like a grilled cheese or even stuffed full of meat & other great sandwich add-ins that are delicious.
Instead of preparing one of those, I decided to put an all-American twist on it. You see, in my research of them I saw that someone mentioned how great these were in place on English muffins for breakfast. I just couldn’t shake that urge to add some jam to a couple, so I just had to make a good ol’ PB&J. It’s was absolutely delicious!!!
As I mentioned, I used my favorite, P.A.N. Cornmeal, which was founded & is based in Venezuela. Great versatility & excellent flavor, this cornmeal is fabulous! It’s definitely a pantry staple. It’s existed for many years but just recently made it’s way to the U.S. — For more great recipes using P.A.N Cornmeal -visit P.A.N. on Tumblr
What would you stuff into your arepas?
Peanut Butter & Jelly Arepas
Ingredients
- 2 cups white cornmeal
- 2 cups warm water
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 3-4 tbsp peanut butter
- 3-4 tbsp homemade jam/jelly
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine white corn meal, oil & salt
- Add the water slowly until it absorbs
- Mix with your hands until dough forms, kneading until smooth & manageable
- Form a large ball & then section into about 6 equal parts
- For those 6 equal parts into smooth patties
- Place on preheated griddle & cook on medium to low heat until golden brown (7-10 minutes each side)
- Remove & cool on wire rack
- Once they are cool enough to handle but still slightly warm, split the open & add in your peanut butter & jelly
- Enjoy

Easy homemade White Corn Tortillas are so easy to make & taste better than anything you’ll find in the store. They are the perfect addition to your dinner.
I love making things from scratch whenever I can. Most of the time it not only tastes better but it’s much easier than it seems.
In a very short amount of time I’m able to make enough of these homemade white corn tortillas for our evening dinner.
I know what you’re thinking – why not just buy the package at the store? Well – because these are SO much better.
Cornmeal Recipes
You know how the store bought tortillas will break when you fold them & all the contents of your taco is either in your hand or on your plate? Not these -they are soft & pliable & are able to hold up to stuffing them full of taco goodness.
I love the taste too – not quite like flour or a traditional corn tortilla. It’s a flavor all it’s own& better than anything I have ever paired with my tacos.
The hubs is a huge lover of tacos & burritos & absolutely swoons over these tortillas. I really didn’t expect him to rave like he does – but he loves them so much.
Here are some commonly asked questions
How many can this serve?
I make about 20-24 tortillas with this recipe. Depends on how large or small you make them.
Recipe Homemade Tortillas

Now they are just part of our prep for taco night. It takes less time than frying traditional corn tortillas & do much better for us too. You have to give them a try.
Corn Tortillas Recipe
HOW TO MAKE White Corn Tortillas?
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl & whisk well – add more water as needed 1/8 cup at a time. (batter should be thin- more like cake batter than muffin batter.)
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over med-low heat.
- Ladle in one scoop of batter like you would pancakes.
- Take the backside of a spoon & smooth out the batter to the outer sides to get the tortilla as thin as you can & also even out the shape. (this should make it more uniform in size & shape & help increase the size)
- Allow to cook until browned – flip & brown the other side – be patient & watch closely.
- The first couple might take a little practice but once you have it down it’s really quite simple.
- This should make about 20-24 tortillas depending on their final size.
These don’t need yeast?
Nope, no yeast for tortillas, so they are easy. No yeast, no need to wait for them to rise. Just mix & cook like pancakes.
To make this recipe you will need…
- all-purpose flour

Caramel Marshmallow Baked French Toast
Caramel Marshmallow Baked French Toast is an easy-to-make breakfast recipe for those that love breakfast casseroles. Simple and delicious!
So ever since I made my Blueberry Backed French Toast a couple weeks ago I have been dying to make some more. The kids scarfed down the whole thing & the hubs never even had the chance to try it.
So I promised I would make some more – I mean, it’s an easy breakfast recipe so why not? Only I decided to make it a little different.
I canned the blueberry idea & swapped it out for caramel & marshmallows. Yep! I created this Caramel Marshmallow Baked French Toast that was out of this world. It was every bit as good as it sounds & all of us had a chance to enjoy it this time.
I think I love baked french toast so much because I can whip it up – cover it & pop it in the fridge at any point in the day.
Then the next day I can either pop it in the oven when the hubs heads out for work or the kids can do it when they get up. They have a fresh baked breakfast – with very little mess.
Really the ease & cleanliness of baked french toast is a HUGE plus for me.
I’m such a fan of regular french toast – but the mess & time to make it is so discouraging. Now that I have made it – I’m on a roll. Seems I’m always thinking of new & creative ways to make it even better.
The best part is that I swapped out the milk I would normally use in my baked french toast recipes & I used Caramel Marshmallow creamer instead. What a fabulous way to add a punch of flavor – delish.

Cheddar & Chive Beer Bread
There are a few recipes that I can’t seem to get enough of. One is beer bread. My mother-in-law’s recipe for beer bread is one I have been making since she first gave it to me almost 20 years ago.

So this past week I wanted to change it up just a tad. I created this Cheddar & Chive Beer Bread which was oh so perfect with the soup I will be sharing with you all later this week. My mother-in-law would be so proud that I am still using her recipe & twisting on it to make it even better.
Oh that little bit of cheddar & chives makes all the difference with this bread. So GOOD!

Gingerbread & Eggnog Monkey Bread
Do you like monkey bread? My family LOVES it. I have been making the same recipe for so many years – long before the blog, all the way back to before we had high speed internet. Yeah- I told you- a long time. The hubs was begging for it & I finally told him that I would only do it if I could twist it up a bit for the holiday & make it better. So I came up with Gingerbread & Eggnog Monkey Bread that is soooooo yummy. It truly is the perfect Christmas breakfast.
Top it with a little butter while it’s hot. Then I like to make an extra batch of the icing so we can dunk each bite. It’s incredible! Ours never really lasts long enough to have leftovers the next day. I like to make it the night before. Sometimes I just let it rise all night & then bake in the morning so it’s fresh out of the oven. Or you can bake the night before & just zap in the microwave for about 20 seconds before serving. Either way – it’s delish!
