In reply to Jen. Yay! That's wonderful!! And if grandma doesn't approve of the bacon, I don't know who else would! It really does make everything better! :)

Bravo, girlfriend! This was super good and as close to my grandmother’s recipe (minus the bacon) as I’ve come, and I absolutely loved it. I don’t think grandma would mind me adding some bacon 🙂

Oh, shoot… I tend to consider myself pretty well-educated as far as what is good and what is not good for your body, but somehow I’ve missed this tidbit. I’ve been keeping bacon as a rare indulgence due to its fat contents, but now I have even more reason to eat it sparingly… nitrates! Thank you for the education, as always!

OMG! I love mayonnaise! *LOVE* it!! I had a crazy mayo craving last night and went and bought a huge artichoke and dipped it in a big glob of mayo to eat it. So yummy.

I agree with you and Food Inc! We the consumer drive the demands! The more we let the suppliers know what we want, the more it will become available and the prices will come down! For a single person I spend entirely too much money on food, but some things you’re just not willing to compromise on.

I like to purchase ntirate free turkey bacon that I eat sparingly and I just purchased some that I might use in this recipe! I definitely try to avoid nitrates in all my foods especially in deli meats. Fortunately, I have a food budget that allows me to picky about the foods I eat (even if I’m still addicted to Crystal Light and Diet Coke).

That recipe looks so good! I love mayo AND butter. I use low fat olive oil mayo when I do use it. I love french fries dipped in mayonnaise. I don’t do it that often just because it does seem a bit . . . much.

Honestly, I never really thought about what was in my food until over a year ago when I realized that what I was eating was making me sick . . .literally. All of the nitrates, preservatives, and MSG were giving me migraines on a regular basis. I adore bacon so at that point I started buying nitrate free, all natural bacon. It is pricey. It’s typically $5.79. But sometimes the price is worth it for knowing that I am not putting a lot of crap in my body that will just make me sick. Not every Publix or Kroger sells the all natural bacon. I know that if I stop buying it then the store I go to may stop selling it. It’s important to show the stores that people ARE interested in healthier options.
