I have really been working on gluten free breads that I am not just enduring but actually desire to eat. A I troubleshoot this process I am left with an abundance of gfree breads. Thanks so much for this delicious looking way to use some of that up. Can't wait to try this recipe. Have a great day!

Any reason to use ghee when cooking the bacon? Usually use a cast iron pan, and the bacon has enough fat to cook in itself. thanks! This sounds great! Any reason to use ghee when cooking the bacon?

One third went in our fridge for our New Year's celebration. One third was gifted to a very picky eater friend of ours and one third fed us in the car on the way to our family Christmas. Oh my, but it was good. I had to rename it though, because hubby said, "Potted cheddar sounds like it has dirt in it and a flower growing out of it!" So, here it's Jenny's S&S Cheese Spread (S&S for smoky and savory.) I made a triple batch. One third went in our fridge for our New Year’s celebration.

It sounded like a wonderful recipe; unfortunately the taste was rather bland. Maybe I did something wrong? I made a batch for a Christmas party.
