From a young age I struggled with loneliness and depression. But it was during those times in the valley when I sought Him. And it was there He found me and Loved me. This life is a journey and this blog is about my journey. It's about finding Him in everything. It's about learning to hope, love, and forgive. It's about my daily ups and downs, my sweet kitties who bring me so much joy, and my amazing husband who I am honored to share my life with. It's about learning to cook and hoping to one day be a back up dancer for the Black Eyed Peas. It's about my passion for creating and crafting. It's about my struggles and prayers and funny stories. It's about ...redemption.

Everything's better cooked in bacon drippings!


So last night I made this fantastic Baked Potato Soup!

*sidebar*
I just have to say that I absolutely love CHILIS! I love everything on their menu, well except ribs because I don't see the point in getting all messy for such a small amount of meat. But they make this VERDE BURGER that is to die for, and don't get me started on the southwestern eggrolls! Deli.ci.ous!!! And for some reason I just love all their soups and salads. I'm not a soup and salad kind of girl, but there is something about chilis' soups and salads that I can not resist. Probably all the fat and artificial bad crap they put in it! YEA! But it was at chilis that I first experienced Baked Potato Soup!


Anyway, I found a recipe online for this baked potato soup and the instructions were to first cook the bacon (oh yeah, jen and any other vegetarians and maybe you too Meeka, don't read this) and save the drippings. Mmmmmm! Then saute the onions and garlic in the bacon drippings!

Man o man, that is fantastic! Then of course you build the soup around that.

My point is is that today I made BLTs for Scotty for lunch. After my success last night cooking with the BD (bacon drippings), I decided to cook my tomatoes in the drippings! Ummm....YUM!

Scott loved the BLTs and I told him how I cooked the tomatoes in BD. He then made fun of me and said, "So now you are going to start cooking EVERYTHING in bacon drippings?"

Well, if it makes it taste better, why not!!!! Hmmm...what else can I cook in BD???
