Spice Up Taco Night with Bacon Taco Shells

Taco night is always a favorite dinner ritual for many families, and is a quick and easy meal solution that everybody can enjoy. While surfing the net, we found a spectacular way to have taco night with a twist that any pork-lover is sure to appreciate – with bacon taco shells. Having your taco shell made completely out of crispy, delicious bacon strips a unique way to have your tacos and integrate your love for bacon simultaneously! There are a few ways to successfully craft a bacon taco shell; however the method shared on Dude Foods yields a nicely defined taco shell that’s actually shaped like the traditional shells. The shell consists of a simple technique where approximately 10 to 12 pieces of bacon are overlapped using a “weave” style technique.

Piggy Pajamas

Oprah seems to be the bearer of great news for a lot of people - she mentions a book on her show, and the next week it becomes a New York Times bestseller. She drops a note about a certain TV show or food, and it becomes the must-watch or must-make item of the month, making somebody in that business a very happy person. While I sit here and dream that maybe one day Oprah will do the same thing for my blog, there is somebody in the piggy space of the world who Oprah has mentioned, and has made pretty famous and important almost overnight: the people who created (get this) ORGANIC PIG PAJAMAS!

The lady who created these pig-inspired pajamas was featured on Oprah a while back, in addition to having a blog and everything on her own. Business must be pretty good, too, because the price for a set of piggy pajamas is pretty steep; $89.95, to be exact. I don't know if I have the kind of money to shell out for piggy pajamas, but... oh, who am I kidding? If it has to do with pigs, I'm probably going to buy it!

Channel Your Inner Pig Super Hero

[caption id="attachment_2172" align="aligncenter" width="364" caption="Picture from http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SuperHero"]

[/caption] So my theory is that growing up, we all wanted to be superheroes. You know the ones - Spiderman, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman. I think that every kid growing up thought about that one special super power that they would like to have, and then started idolizing one or two superheroes who they really could relate to or dreamed of one day becoming. Of course you KNOW my favorite superheroes had to do with pigs :) I was a fan of Super Pig - or, the better-known Japanese version Tonde Boorin. When I was a kid, I would watch everything I could get my hands on that involved either Super Pig, or his lesser-known superhero buddy, Spider-Ham. Superheroes and pigs all in one? Sign me up!

Zooey Deschanel Holding Pig Soap

Zooey Deschanel is one of my favorite actresses. I love her show, New Girl. She plays this quirky lady who is irresistible and funny. My friends say that her mannerisms in the show remind them of me. I am pretty goofy, but I don't know...

Tonton the Pig

I love watching anime, and one of my favorite anime characters is Tonton from Naruto, who just happens to be a pig. She doesn't speak but has no trouble getting her point across. Tonton is super strong and fun to watch. She also has a...
