Delicio Recipe List

Yesterday, my goofball of a hubby hacked my Facebook page and left this post... " I just want everyone to know how much I love my husband. He is the sexiest, most compassionate, caring, loving man I have ever meet. I am truly  blessed to be able to call myself his wife. I live to make his life better in what ever way I can." He should have posted it on my business page because it got more hoots and hollers than any food post I've ever made. I was even laughed at when I walked into the local bait, tackle and grill shop! I'm still getting comments and jokes! LOL Well, he had the guts to ask for a special meal of the Bacon Wrapped Teriyaki Chicken Bites. I'm not sure he deserves them! What do you think?  Bacon Wrapped Teriyaki Chicken Bites 4 chicken tenders, cubed 1 package Bacon (not thick cut), cur in half Kikkoman  Teriyaki marinade Kikkoman   Teriyaki  Baste and Glaze toothpicks Wrap bacon around chicken cube, stretching the bacon to fit, if needed. Secur...

I was admiring a plate of fried chicken livers my friend Julia over at Julia's Southern Simply Southern blog cooked, and it made me think of my brother's creation of Bacon Wrapped Teriyaki Chicken Livers. For the liver haters out there, I also included Bacon Wrapped Chicken Bites! Check out Julia's Southern Fried Chicken Livers on her page here...  Southern Fried Chicken Livers . Bacon-Wrapped Teriyaki Chicken Livers 1 lb. chicken livers Approximately 8 oz. bacon (not thick cut) Teriyaki sauce,  Kikkoman   Teriyaki  Baste and Glaze Kebab skewers Wrap bacon around chicken liver, stretching the bacon to fit, if needed. Secure with a skewer. Repeat until skewer is full. Repeat with remaining chicken livers and skewers. Pour teriyaki sauce over skewers, reserving about 1/4 cup. Marinate skewers for at least 4 hours, but no more than 8 hours. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place skewers on grill and baste with reserved teriyaki sauce. Cook until bacon is done...

I was looking for an easy meal to make pretty quickly this past Sunday. I basically wanted a one pot type meal with minimal effort or clean up. I hate doing a lot of dishes after a meal. These foil packets are an easy week night meal for the family or can be quickly thrown on the grill on the weekend. Super easy clean up is also a plus! 1 can (10 1/2 oz) cream of chicken soup 1 1/2 cups chicken stock 3 teaspoons Greek seasoning Salt, pepper and garlic powder, to taste 2 cups uncooked instant white rice � cup shredded carrot � cup fresh sweet peas � cup chopped onion 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts 4 slices cooked bacon, coarsely chopped 1 ? cups Colby Jack cheese 2 green onions, sliced (optional) Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cut 4 (18x12-inch) sheets of heavy-duty foil. Spray with oil. Measure 1/2 cup of the condensed soup, and set aside. In 4- cup glass measuring cup, mix remaining condensed soup, the chicken stock and 1 teaspoon of the seasoning; beat with whisk to blend. Add instan...

I can't explain it. Bean and bacon soup feels like comfort food to me, and yet it wasn't something I even remember eating as a child. My mom didn't ever make it, and I don't recall cans of bean and bacon soup in our cupboard. Nor have I eaten it as an adult. So it's a mystery. But I must have tried it at some point, and it stuck in my imagination. So when I saw this recipe for  Homemade Bean and Bacon Soup  on the Taste and Tell blog, I knew I had to try it. And this is a soup I'll definitely make again. The taste, the texture, and the look all appeal to me. And it's comfort food, after all. In any case, below is the original recipe with a few noted modifications. So get yourself a good crusty bread and give this soup a try. 8 ounces thick sliced bacon, diced (the original recipe calls for a cherry smoked bacon, but I used an applewood smoked bacon with a slight maple flavoring) 1 cup diced yellow onions 1 cup diced carrots 1 cup diced celery (I'm not a ...

I was looking for a picture today and ran across this one. I know what some people will say, but I don't make this one often. My hubby loved it and would love one every week! I dusted off the waffle maker and used tater tots to make a waffle bun**. Thus the Bacon, Egg and Cheeseburger on a Tater Tot Bun was born... at my house at least! Here's a good, but different burger mix to incorporate some sausage into your burger. Beef and Pork Burger Patties 1lb Italian Sausage, de-cased 1lb ground beef Salt, Pepper and Garlic Powder 16 small  slider buns, dinner rolls or Tater Tot Waffle Bun Onion, diced very small 2 cups cheddar cheese, grated In a large bowl, combine sausage and beef. Using your hands, blend the two meats together.* Spread the onions on a heavy duty cookie or baking sheet. Using your hands, crumble and spread the meat mixture over the onion and press down. If you try to spread it by pushing the meat, the onions move and gather on the ends. Sprinkle generously with ...

I'm hosting a Kikkoman House Party for the Superbowl tonight!  I've started off with these Bacon-Wrapped Teriyaki Chicken Bites. I don't have a grill right now, but I "grilled" them on my grill pan in the oven! It worked great! Half way through baking and brushed with Teriyaki Glaze! Done! 4 chicken tenders, cubed 1 package Bacon (not thick cut), cur in half Kikkoman  Teriyaki marinade Kikkoman   Teriyaki  Baste and Glaze toothpicks Wrap bacon around chicken cube, stretching the bacon to fit, if needed. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining chicken cubes, bacon and toothpicks. Pour teriyaki sauce over chicken and marinate for at least 4 hours, but no more than 8 hours. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place chicken on grill. Cook until bacon is done on the bottom, about 7 minutes, and flip. Brush with teriyaki glaze and cook for another 7 minutes making sure not to burn the bacon. Add more glaze to taste. Plate and serve.

This is another of my baby brudder's specialties. If he ever asks me, "What can I bring?" This is it! The hubby hates liver, but he eats these by the handfuls! 1 lb. chicken livers Approximately 8 oz. bacon (not thick cut) Teriyaki sauce,  Kikkoman   Teriyaki  Baste and Glaze Kebab skewers Wrap bacon around chicken liver, stretching the bacon to fit, if needed. Secure with a skewer. Repeat until skewer is full. Repeat with remaining chicken livers and skewers. Pour teriyaki sauce over skewers, reserving about 1/4 cup. Marinate skewers for at least 4 hours, but no more than 8 hours. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place skewers on grill and baste with reserved teriyaki sauce. Cook until bacon is done about 7 minutes and flip skewers. Baste again with teriyaki sauce and cook for another 7 minutes making sure not to burn the bacon.

I saw a post earlier using biscuit dough, maple syrup and bacon to make a wonderful looking Maple-Bacon Biscuit Bake. I thought, "I'll turn that into monkey bread." Yeah! I know a few spots got a little to browned, but that's because I had the oven on 400 instead of 350. It yours starts to brown to quickly, lay a piece of aluminum foil over it. Don't cover it tightly, just lay a piece over the top. Syrup: 1/2 pound bacon, cooked until medium-brown 1/3 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour 1/2 cup maple syrup 2 tablespoons melted butter Bread: 4 tubes refrigerator biscuits 1/2 cup Sugar Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

All Pictures have a link to the recipes below!  BLT Pasta Salad  BLT Tacos BLT Dip  And as always, back to simple original BLT Sandwich! 

I have made the Cheddar Bay Biscuits, and I've made Bacon Puffs! I've tried a lot of combinations including biscuits with bacon, but I've never been satisfied with the bacon flavor in the biscuit itself. Well, last night the light bulb went off! Take out the oil and substitute the grease/oil rendered from cooking the bacon! No one can yell at me about this one, because you are only subbing one oil for another! Nothing wrong with bacon "oil"! :-) 2 cups All-purpose Flour 1 teaspoon Baking Powder 3/4 teaspoons Salt 1/4 cup Crisco Shortening 2/3 cup Milk 1/4 cup Bacon Grease* 1 Egg 1 pound Bacon, fried and crumbled** 1/2 cup Onion, diced small 1 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Low carb never tasted so good! This is an easy recipe for mushrooms. This would be appropriate for an appetizer or a side dish. I am thinking this will be an excellent dish to bring to the Thanksgiving table. 1lb. White mushrooms, sliced 1/2 lb. bacon, cooked until crisp then crumbled 1 cube butter 1 clove garlic Lay the sliced mushrooms in the bottom of a casserole dish, add the crumbled bacon and the crusted garlic all over then slice up the butter and put that on top.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until the mushrooms are golden brown.

We had this soup for supper tonight and my husband, who doesn't usually do low carb, loved it and wants me to make this again! Happiness!  This recipe is an interesting one.  I've never made soup quite like it....but seriously, I have never had soup that tastes this good. 1/2 C heavy whipping cream 8 oz. Mushrooms 1 14 oz. can of chicken broth 1 clove garlic 1/2 C crumbled bacon (I use the crumbled bacon from Costco that comes in a bag from the salad section) 1 Cube Butter 1/4 tsp. pepper 1/4 tsp. salt  Wash and slice the mushrooms and put them in a casserole dish along with the bacon, the cube of butter cut up into 4 or 5 pieces, the salt and pepper. Bake this in the over at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes or until everything is bubbly and brown. Get out the blender! This is the important part. Take two thirds of the baked mushroom mixture, put it in the blender along with the chicken broth.  Blend away! This releases so much more of the mushroom flavor than just c...

You can't go wrong when the recipe involves Bacon!  As I was growing up...beans were beans. You took them out of the can and warmed them up on the stove and just ate them.  When I got married I found that Spike's family cared a little more about flavors.  They fried up some bacon first maybe with a little onion and then added the beans.  Delicious! Here is the easy recipe: Fry four pieces of bacon Add half an onion and saute it Once the bacon is crisp and the onion are transparent, add a can of green beans. I think this will be on the menu for Thanksgiving dinner for sure!
