Oatmeal, Chocolate, Peanut Butter Bacon Cookie

Could life be complete without chocolate? What about bacon? If you had the opportunity to combine both ingredients in one recipe together would you do it?

A few weeks ago I read a cozy mystery and as is typical of the genre the author included a recipe at the back of the book. This particular one, for a batch of cookies, caught my attention. The ingredients included chocolate chips and bacon. I told John about it and one thing lead to another. He altered the recipe to include a few of his own favourite ingredients and this is the result.

Lakes + Kayaks = Summer

Thanks to the recent heat wave to hit Ontario it finally feels like summer. John's been kayaking every chance he gets and has paddled a number of lakes including the Spanish River Delta.
