Why did I name this cookbook Bacon, Bitches & Breakups? Well, we’ve all had Bacon (I hope). It’s truly God's mouth candy and gift to the world. (Shout out to the vegans who saw the title and bought the book anyways). We’ve all had Bitches--and I promise, I mean this in the most loving of ways (keep reading, you’ll see) . And we’ve all had Breakups. The kind that pulls us all the way down and the kind that builds us all the way up. Food and dating go hand and hand anyway you look at it--from getting to know someone, all the way to the breakup food that will be there long after we’ve outgrown each other.



I wanted to share a few true (slightly crazy) break-up stories and the recipe remnants that stuck around or were created afterwards. This is a peek into my dating life (and why I love pork so much). Dating is tough, love is difficult, but Bacon is a Forever. Enjoy cooking from this book and keep taking a swing at love because you never know when you’ll get a home-run.
