Mmmm, makes me wish I ate ham. Think this would work with turkey bacon?

[sickchick]

You bet it would!!!

You bet it would!!!

Collette, I'm just curious, have you always cooked like this? I only learned to cook relatively recently, due to celiac, so I was wondering whether other people were already good at this stuff.

Awww! That's cool...

I have been cooking as long as I can remember

I was not afraid to pull out mom's pans or hand mixer!

lol!

Mmmm! That sounds delicious!! I'm printing it out to try!!! I guess I'll have to go buy an immersion blender too!

[sickchick]

I love my immersion blender because it's very handy for making sauces and purees without burning your hands trying to pour hot liquid into a blender or food processor!

enjoy!
