Bacon and Maple Blondie Bars (FOOD PHOTO SHOOT)

gringalicious (78) in food • 7 years ago (edited)

Yes that’s exactly right, I’m telling you that we’re having bacon for dessert! Say What?

It might seem crazy to some people and you’re probably thinking that, for a girl who claims to not like bacon much, I use it a lot. Hey, I live with lots of bacon lovers so it gets included a lot in my crazy schemes even if it’s not my thing.

What I love about bacon is the smell of it in the air, it’s so nostalgic and happy-making to me, but it’s true that I’m not really a bacon eater. Although, when it’s sitting on frosting I find myself reconsidering the whole situation. Oh, and my mom has taught me all my life about the magic of saving and using your bacon grease for yummy things. I don’t understand people that just throw all of that goodness away.

Bacon and maple aren’t necessarily specific to Autumn but I think we can all agree that they definitely fit right in. I think this is a good place to start getting into the mood.

I know it’s harder for some of you then others right now because you might still be in really hot weather. Like, when I was growing up in Tennessee I remember it taking forever to stay crisp and Autumn-y because the agonizingly humid summer was reluctant to hit the road.

You should definitely take a little piece of time to stop and make these bars because, hello, they are amazing! And I don’t even like bacon!

As always, the recipe is available upon request. The first request gets an upvote.

ALL CONTENT IS MINE AND ORIGINAL! All of these food photos were taken with my Nikon D5300 and my favorite Lens, the Nikon AF-S FX NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G. You can find out more in my INTRO POST. And by the way, my intro post did a huge $0.21

How I feel you could do better: I think you should put recipes at the bottom of your posts unless you have a plan going for leaving them out.

Also tag this one bacon <<< hot tag in search engines. Spectacular photos. I'm horrible with food :)

gringalicious (78) · 7 years ago

I always put in my post that the recipe is available upon request and the first request receives an upvote from me. This normally creates engagement. As you can see, in the top comment, the recipe is listed.

Thanks so much for taking the time to give me some helpful suggestions, I really appreciate it. And you're right, I should use the bacon tag

fitinfun (71) · 7 years ago

I was rushing and did not see that. I'm always going for the alexa ranking and not as much for the steemers, but my content is elsewhere at the moment so I hope to push search engine traffic there. I'm getting some hits, so I feel encouraged all the way around :)

The interior looks so packed and fudgy which is really nice. That's not that usual for a blondie.

The combination of bacon and maple is popular these days but I've never tried it before.

I'll definitely try these out! :) Thank you for sharing. Your food photos are stunning as always. ;)

I started following you today; I travel to Chile once a year and, when I'm there, they call me gringo too!

gringalicious (78) · 7 years ago

Yeah, in Chile, especially in the South, it is more a term of endearment than a negative slang. Where do you normally go?

cryptofarmer (63) · 7 years ago

I agree; in my case I am usually called gringuito...with the suffix ito that adds some tenderness.
I usually go in the fifth Region, near Valparaiso, where my wife is from. We try to go there every time here in Italy is winter, so from January to March.

Oooh yeah! The only way I could see this being better is if that bacon was covered in chocolate :) But maybe that's getting a bit to wild and crazy now... :)

gringalicious (78) · 7 years ago

Yeah, perhaps over the top with chocolate. To be honest, I have mixed chocolate and maple together before and I don't think I like it, not sure, I'll have to do some testing to be sure
