BGGG- Skillet Bacon Jam


Need a great gift idea for the foodie on your Christmas List?





Skillet Bacon Jam

Yep you read that right. Bacon + Jam.

Well, kind of.

What is Skillet Bacon Jam?

Taken from their website...

We take a big bunch of really, really good bacon, and render it down...add a bunch of spices..onions, etc. and let it simmer for about 6 hours…give it a quick puree, blast chill it…and
you have bacon jam..
We like to put it on our burger, serve it on crostini, perhaps on a grilled cheese, as a substitute for bacon on a BLT, or maybe the base for a vinaigrette.


I'll be the first to tell you that I was unsure about "Bacon Jam". Just the name of it confused me so I was excited for it to arrive so that I could see and taste (if I got up the courage) Skillet Bacon Jam for myself. Skillet Bacon Jam came in a small container. I opened it up and gave it the smell test first. Not bad at all.

While the look wasn't too inticing... remember we are talking about pureed bacon and spices, the smell was intoxicating... I grabbed a spoon to take a tiny bite.

It was mind blowing. I had a light bulb moment and my mind was suddenly full of ideas of how to use this delicious spread!

Some of the recommended uses from the Skillet Bacon Jam website include...

*grilled cheese
*burgers
*as a base for a vinaigrette
*inside a scone or croissant
*substitute it for bacon in a BJLT
*on baked brie
*sautéed in some scallops
*roasted with some brussel sprouts
*wilted in a spinach salad
*on toast with a fried egg on top
*finish a potato soup with a dollop

My suggestion? Using it on a toasted bun for the best. burger. EVER!



Thats if you have enough willpower to keep from eating the entire container straight from the jar.

You can purchase Skillet Bacon Jam on their website for only $13 a jar... and you better believe it is worth EVERY penny. They also sell a three pack on their website for those who fall in love with its delicious flavor...which I would imagine is anyone who tastes it!


Skillet Bacon Jam would make a great gift idea for the chef or foodie on your Holiday Shopping List! It is also a great idea to have for Holiday entertaining. You can bet that all your guest will leave talking about Skillet Bacon Jam!

Skillet Bacon Jam definitely earns its spot on...

BGGG-Grounds for Change Fair Trade Coffee 3 pack Sampler


Looking for a great gift idea for the Coffee fanatic on your Holiday Shopping list?
Not just any old cup of joe will do!

Let me introduce you to...


Grounds for Change offers AMAZING organic, fair trade coffees in the most wonderful blends and flavors. I recently had the opportunity to try Grounds for Change's 3-pack Organic Coffee Sampler.



In the 3-pack sampler I received were 3 different coffee flavors including...



Cafe Femenino Peru is a medium bodied coffee with a fine acidity, sweet aroma and hints of baker's chocolate that are accentuated by a slow, dark roast. We know that you will enjoy this unique coffee for its wonderful taste as well as for the special story that underlies its production.

A new niche coffee, Cafe Femenino Peru, has evolved that is changing the role of women in rural coffee communities. Female coffee growers have become better educated, organized, and for the first time are producing women's coffee as a specialty commodity. This Fair Trade and organic certified coffee is grown, processed and traded exclusively by women. The women then decide how to use the additional funds to better their lives and those of their children.



Cafe Femenino Mexico is a medium bodied coffee with a bright, nutty flavor and subtle sweetness that is enhanced by a delicate medium roast. We know that you will enjoy this unique coffee for its great taste as well as for the special story that underlies its production.



Agate Pass Blend is a full-bodied combination of South American and Pacific coffees that are roasted to a medium-dark, highly aromatic level. This blend has a smooth, nutty flavor with caramel, almond and subtle chocolate notes. Named in honor of a narrow passage in the Puget Sound near our roastery.


These are only three of the MANY different Blends and flavors of coffee available from Grounds for Change. Over 30 in all! You also get to choose whether you would like your coffee in whole bean or ground for the exact type of coffee maker that you own. Ground for Change delivers only the most fresh and flavorful coffee, I guarantee you will be just as impressed as I am by their amazing products!


Not only is the quality of their products impressive, so are their prices! Ground for Change 8oz bags start at less than $10! You can also purchase larger size bags once you've found your favorites!              


 Grounds for Change offers many great Coffee Gift ideas including their 3-pack Sampler that I had the pleasure of trying. In the Grounds for Change Sampler Packs you can let them choose the flavors or pick your own flavors! Ground for Change Coffee Gifts start at only $21.95!





Why choose Grounds for Change?

Their coffee is AMAZING. .All of our coffee is Fair Trade Certified by TransFair USA and our Organic Certification meets the stringent Organic Processor Standards enforced by the United States Federal Government and the Washington State Department of Agriculture. Grounds for Change gives back to many wonderful causes world wide.

Grounds for Change is a sustainable business who...

Compost all of our organic waste including coffee grounds, coffee filters and food scraps.

Purchase and print on paper made from 100% recycled content and recycle all office paper, toner cartridges, cardboard, glass, metal and plastic.

Recycle all of our empty burlap coffee bags by donating them to local organic farmers for weed suppression and erosion control.

Recycle all of our coffee chaff, the organic by-product of the roasting process, by giving it to local, organic farmers to be used as a nitrogen-rich soil amendment.

Recycle all inbound freight pallets by donating them to a local business that rebuilds them for reuse.

Donate well over 1% of our gross annual sales to social and environmental organizations as part of our membership with 1% For The Planet.
