Bacon is a food group in itself in our household so you can imagine how I jumped at the chance (fork in hand) to review Skillet Street Food’s Skillet Bacon Jam. Skillet Street Food is a company born in Seattle by Chef Josh Henderson in 2007.
When I got the package in the mail, I tore it open and quickly had my first spoonful (yeah, I’m that kind of girl) and my first impulse was to hide the evidence and lie to my husband telling him that it never came. Seriously.
Bacon Jam is a condiment made from a combination of Nieman Ranch bacon, onions, balsmatic vinegar, brown sugar, salt and pepper that is slow cooked for several hours. I love that I know what each of these ingredients is and I don’t have to look up some 20 letter word that looks vaguely like English. Upon first bite, It’s hard to miss the smokiness of the bacon but the tang of the basalmic vinegar which is tempered by the brown sugar is what makes this work for me.
I immediately started thinking of how I could use this as an ingredient in a meal. My first thoughts were to whisk it into an salad dressing made with olive oil, Dijon mustard and honey and then pair it with some caramelized onions and Parmesan in a spinach salad. Next I thought maybe to spread it on some sourdough with sharp cheddar to kick up your standard grilled cheese. The product seems pretty versatile in how you can use it or you can be like me and eat it out of the jar.
To get more information and check out some of their other yummy items go to their website www.skilletbaconjam.com or email them at eat@skilletstreetfood.com
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
In our state, the high risk pool is $260 some a month just to have coverage. It's crazy. Absolutely crazy. Excuse me for getting political, but I really wish we would go to universal health care.
I had the same problem when getting quotes right after I had a baby. I was out of my normal BMI range. To which I replied,”Obviously. Otherwise I wouldn't have a healthy baby.” Someone at underwriting should address this.

In my state, depending on which plan you select, it's between $435 and $394 a month. The plan I'm trying to get on is $100 a month. I agree with you on the health care. I've never had to shop for health insurance so I'm surprised but the number of hoops you have to jump to get on a plan.

No my husband makes too much. Our son qualifies for state health insurance but not me.

Ha Felissa! I don't eat bread (won't go into a long ramble about that) so I do just have a bit on a piece on apple or eat a bit of it on a spoon. I'm thinking of making an omelet tomorrow and using it as an ingredient.
