Seriously, who does not like bacon? And those who say they don’t lie…or are prevented for partaking due to religious beliefs.  Thankfully, I have no bacon dietary restrictions in my life.

Also thankfully Colorado has a Bacon Festival! Yes that’s right, a food experience devoted 100% to bacon! Today, Noah, Logan, Gretna and I headed up dem der hills to Keystone.  Perfect weather, beautiful views and scrumptious food!  Here are some pictures from today’s event:

Bison meatball wrapped with applewood bacon.

Chocolate covered bacon and vanilla ice cream.

Tempura fried bacon & gravy.

 
Nutella & bacon crepe.

Peameal back bacon served over apple bacon braised red cabbage with a tart cherry compote.

Chicken quesadilla with bacon & a chipotle sour cream dipping sauce.

Chocolate bacon cheesecake.

And a happy family photo – even though Logan was cranky since he didn’t nap on the way up and Gretna half cut me out of the picture.

Jealous? You should be! Hungry? We’re not any more.  So full from the food.  Our favorite was the crepe. Pretty sure we’re going to start making these at home.  The least favorite – the tempura fried bacon. I think Logan tried them all except for the tempura.  While eating the cabbage & bacon he would finish a bite he would exclaim, “Hey, hey hey!” As if to say, my mouth is empty now, please rectify this situation with more yummy bacon!

Also, even though dogs were not allowed, Purina had a booth giving away full sized bags of Beggin Strips! Lava and Remieli made out too (but shhh, don’t tell them it’s not real bacon)!

We all had a blast and came home exhausted. If this event returns next year I’m pretty sure we will be there. Yum Yum Yum! Bacon! NOM!
