Bacon Salt Review--My New Seasoning of Choice

I was so happy that I had the opportunity to review J&D's Original Bacon Salt.  I am always one who is looking for new seasonings to try, and it is an added bonus if it is low sodium, zero calorie, and zero fat.  The fact it is vegetarian and kosher is not overly important to me.

On first try, I was amazed at how good the flavor was.  The bacon and hickory flavors are wonderful, and it has quickly become my favorite seasoning.  I find myself putting it on everything I make--no, not dessert yet, but you never know!  It has taken the place of salt for me, and I know this will be something that I must keep on hand.

This is the perfect seasoning for those of us who watch our calories.  I love to put bacon with vegetables--especially green beans and bacon.  This bacon salt can keep you from adding all those extra calories and fat that bacon adds to dishes.  I don't even find myself reaching for butter to put on my veggies as much.

So if you would  like a seasoning to put on your vegetables, your meats, your side dishes, and more, check out bacon salt.  You will not regret it!

Solution Sunday--Skillet Bacon Jam Review

I recently had the opportunity to review an unusual product called skillet bacon jam (or spread). I was intrigued by the name alone, and when I read the company's description of their product, I knew this was something I wanted to try!

From the company:  

we make this bacon spread condiment called bacon jam..you say what?.. that’s right, we use niman ranch bacon and render it down along with onions, balsamic and other spices . It cooks for several hours until it is a perfect blend of smoky, tangy, savory and slightly sweet….basically spreadable bacony goodness!  USDA approved.

The first thing I was concerned about was the fat content.  I do not know what the caloric information is of this product, but I want to tell you that whatever calories/fat this item has, it is worth it!  This item is flavorful, and not once did I feel like I was sabotaging my diet.  I suppose that if I ate the entire contents of the container in one sitting, I might be overdoing it, but I can assure you I would not do that.

My first use of this product was on a hot dog (of all things, I know!).  I really thought it gave lots of good flavor to the hot dog.  It was not overly strong, but the taste seemed just right.  My mom agreed very strongly when she tried it on her hot dog as well.

The second time I used it was when I was making up a hash brown skillet side dish a few days ago.  I had all sorts of vegetables frying up with the hash browns, and I thought that this bacon jam would give these bland veggies a little flavor.  Again, I was right!  In fact, I truly should have added more.  Next time, I will.

My favorite thing about this product is that it is made in the Pacific Northwest!  I always love finding new products from the area, and it makes me want to promote this product even more.

So if you get a chance, take a closer look at this product here.  You'll be glad you did!
