Do you love bacon?  I mean, really love bacon?

How did you come up with your winning recipe?

I love bacon – I think most things are better with bacon in them, on them, or around them! I wanted to create a recipe to compliment Prime Rib, Pork Roasts and Chops, as well as any Chicken dish. I came up with my version of a type of scalloped potato and added my favorite bacon. My family and guests really enjoy it.

Why do you love cooking with bacon? 

I love cooking with bacon because not only do you get to enjoy its terrific flavor and texture but you can also use bacon drippings to enhance most things you saute.

Do you have an award-winning tips or recipe contest advice?

When I am creating recipes I always stick to my favorite ingredients that I know will compliment each other.  When I am participating in cook-offs, I try to remain calm and focused (and it always helps if you are cooking with wine!) I use my favorite wines so I can enjoy a glass as I am cooking – it is really relaxing.  Makes competing a pleasure!
