Bacon. Even the word looks beautiful. There’s just something about putting bacon in a dish that makes it taste one hundred times better, especially when it’s paired with something sweet. Last week we brought you bacon chocolate chip cookies for dessert, and this week we’re giving you a meal: bacon pancakes for breakfast. Drizzle some maple syrup on top, and enjoy the best meal of the day.
