A Year of Happy Mondays–Bacon Edition

So it’s Monday again. And because I like to mix things up while still remaining both predictable (I love bacon) and unpredictable (you’re never going to believe what can be done with bacon), this week’s top ten things that make me smile on a Monday morning are all about bacon.

So, pull up a plate, and let’s dive on in.

Ten Things (About Bacon) That Make Me Smile on a Monday Morning:

10. Chocolate bacon (I know, I know – acquired taste. Stick with me. It gets better. Or possibly worse. Unless chocolate bacon is your heaven, in which case… hey, more bacon below!)

9. That there’s a bacon romance novel. (Side note: I TOTALLY have to write a bacon romance novel.)

8. Bacon Roses

7. Y’all. BACON OF THE MONTH clubs. Brilliant.

6. And of course, Kevin Bacon.

5. Having friends who send me pictures of bacon stuff. (Thanks, Amy!)

Amy from So Many Reads sent me this picture of her kid’s birthday loot. Great taste!

4. Bacon and homemade donuts

More on the donut later

3. That there’s an endless supply of recipes for Bacon Cupcakes on Pinterest.

2. There’s a Church of Bacon. Seriously, y’all.

1. Okay, it’s not quite bacon, but… Lady Antebellum’s spoof of Lee Brice’s “Love You Like Crazy.” Ladies and gentlemen, I proudly present… “Biscuits and Gravy.”

BACON.

The End.

p.s. I totally would’ve added using bacon grease in my biscuits (in honor of Jackson Davis from Southern Fried Blues, of course), but bacon grease isn’t really something that makes me happy all the time, you know?
