    Build A Holiday Bacon Bar

    Entertaining a crowd this holiday season? Build a Holiday Bacon Bar!

    Build a Holiday Bacon Bar & Smithfield Bacon for a Year Giveaway on http://UrbanBlissLife.com

    The art print in the center of our kitchen wall says Bacon makes everything better. 

    Friends and family know how much I love, love, L-O-V-E bacon. I'm a bit of a bacon purist: I like high quality bacon, and don't think it needs to be dressed up, paraded around in costume, and made into something it's not. Bacon is perfect just as it is.

    So this holiday season, I've come up with a way to combine two of my food & entertaining loves: bacon, and a food bar. I give you: the Holiday Bacon Bar!

    How to Create a Holiday Bacon Bar

    I've partnered with Smithfield, who makes some amazing bacon varieties such as Peppered Brown Sugar, Sea Salt Caramel, and Caramelized Bourbon Bacon. At my grocery store, I picked up Smithfield Homestyle Bacon and a package of Smithfield Cherry Smoked Bacon.
