    Fergasa Bread (Green Onion Cheddar Buttermilk Bread)

    Fergasa Bread is probably my ultimate favourite bread on the entire planet. I don't know if it is the cheddar and green onion combination. Or if it's the soft white bread, the butter-soaked crust, or the mixture of it all. What I do know is that when I would come across a loaf, I'd snatch it up like it was my long lost child. Then, I'd give everyone side-eye as I made my way to the checkout. As if every person I came in contact with might try and pry it from my grip. I know totally obsessive.

  • This needs no introduction, if you've been a fan of Masterchef, you'll remember the episode when a burger scored an apron. The secret ingredient? Lemon Pepper Bacon. The tangy lemon flavour along with the savoury bacon and freshly ground pepper takes this to a whole new level. Try it on a BLT it's amazing. Highly recommended, make it now!

    Lemon Pepper Bacon and a BLT

    When I suggested this to my husband his eyes lit up. I mean lemon pepper bacon, was the one ingredient on Noah Sim's (a Masterchef Season 10 contestant) legendary burger that Joe Bastianich couldn't get enough. So, obviously I would spend the next year thinking about that bacon before I finally gave Lemon Pepper Bacon and a BLT a try.

    Sierra Turkey Cranberry Wraps (Boars Head copycat)

    I have the Kroger Deli to thank for this recipe. Our family goes through just shy of two pounds of luncheon meat a week. My husband loves the Boars Head Blackened Turkey, the boys and I love honey ham or pastrami if I'm feeling really indulgent (it's my fav). One busy Saturday morning, I was out doing the weekly grocery run. The line up with a little longer than usual, so I browsed the pre-made sandwiches and there it was Sierra Turkey Cranberry Wraps.
