17 Holiday Baking Recipes That Prove Everything is Better with Bacon | Sauce + Style

They say that everything is better with bacon and here at Pig of the Month BBQ, y'all know we are inclined to agree with them. ESPECIALLY when it comes to desserts with bacon. That salty, savory taste of bacon goes so perfectly with everything from apples to chocolate, caramel to maple - it's a insane party of flavor that we will stuff our faces with all day, erry day! Now that Thanksgiving is all wrapped up (and we are still a little sad that the leftovers didn't last longer...), it's time to hit that holiday baking and treat making... HARD. We are rounding up all the things that are topping our wishlist to make this holiday season, and a few that we're planning to make for a second (ok more like tenth) time. You really can't argue with a classic like Bacon Bourbon Caramel Stuffed Brownies, you know? So whip out the apron and turn that oven on. It's time to get into that sweater body with alllll the bacon-packed desserts. You can save hitting the gym for your New Year's resolution... ;)

15 Fall Cocktails to Keep Your Tailgating Spirits High (and Extra Boozy) | cakenknife.com

The first week of football is wrapping up and we couldn't be more excited. We are sad to see the end of summer so clearly, but all that football and tailgating amazingness in front of us is comforting our souls hardcore right about now. You know we are allllll about that tailgating food, but we also want to make sure we have the drinks part covered for y'all too. What's a tailgate party without some booze anyway? So we're bringing you these 15 fall cocktails to keep your tailgating spirits high (and extra boozy). These cocktails have all that apple and pumpkin goodness you start craving the moment September 1st rolls around, plus some extra odds and ends cocktails to give you a break once you start wearing yourself on everything apple and pumpkin. One of our favorite manly drinks below (pictured above) is Smoked Bourbon with Candied Bacon. Our smokers are running well into fall, low and slow, so we take advantage of that smoke by bottling it up with some bourbon. Top it with a slice of candied bacon and all the dudes out there basically melt as soon as they see it. It's also the perfect consolation prize if someone's team loses. As long as you give them one of these, you can mock them all you want.

Grilled Pineapple Bourbon Smash

Grilled Pineapple Bourbon Smash

Grilled Pineapple Bourbon Smash | Sauce + Style

You all know we LOVE to get our grill on in the summer. There's only a few precious month's of grilling and boozing to make the most of before the cold weather sets in. As much as we still love those fall months (can you say 'tailgating heaven'?), we kind of wish we could grill all year round.

Grilled Pineapple Bourbon Smash | Sauce + Style

So when those warm temps hit, it's all about grilling all the things. We grill our meats, our veggies, our desserts and now, even our cocktails. Grilled pineapple is already one of our fav summer treats, so why not throw it in with some bourbon so you have something delicious to sip on while you're working hard over that hot grill? There's no reason not to, obviously.

Grilled Pineapple Bourbon Smash | Sauce + Style

These bourbon smash cocktails are packed with grilled pineapple so they are almost like a sangria with all that chunky fruit in there. Of course, instead of wine there's a ton o' bourbon - right up our alley for cocktail hour. Keeping those summer vibes going and working our grills as hard as possible is all we BBQ-loving peeps know how to do, after all. Cheers to the summer!

Grilled Pineapple Bourbon Smash | Sauce + Style

INSTRUCTIONS: In the bottom of a double old fashioned glass, muddle grilled pineapple with lime juice.

Grilled Pineapple Bourbon Smash | Sauce + Style

Pour in bourbon and stir. Fill glass with crushed ice and top with soda water. Stir once more to combine. Serve.

These bacon bourbon caramel stuffed brownies are the latest food porn creation that we absolutely can't get enough of. If you thought brownies couldn't get any better, well you're just plan wrong. We stuffed ours with a rich, creamy bourbon caramel and lots of our top selling bacon to really send it over the edge.

Everyone will be freaking the hell out the moment you set these out. Then just sit back and watch as everyone clammers to get another one before they're all gone.
