A whole big bunch!
You're welcome!
Now read on please...
Happy August everyone!
Little did you know this is going to be the best month EVER!!
Why?
Because we've officially dubbed August as
Bacon Month!
I've teamed up with 9 other bloggers to bring you a month full of bacon happiness in your mouth. Meet the #BaconMonth team...

Rachel | {I Love} My Disorganized Life
Kelley | Miss Information

Meghan | The Tasty Fork
Christine | Cook the Story

All throughout August, you'll be able to find delicious recipes featuring bacon on our blogs. All this bacon love leads up to International Bacon Day on August 31st. We'd love you to celebrate bacon. It really is the happiest food. I mean seriously, just look at this...
and this....
Yeah. Bacon needs a month.
Follow along with hashtag #BaconMonth on Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, and Instagram.
You can help us get the word out and celebrate your love of bacon by adding the Bacon Month button to your side bar.
Stay tuned because all the #BaconMonth fun starts tomorrow!
Be sure to keep up on our latest bacon recipes, and get inspired by following the Bacon Month Pinterest board.

Yes sir, I love me some bacon. Wondering what I'll be making this month? Well you need to tune every Saturday this month to find out! I will be serving up tasty bacon recipes every Saturday for the month of August. Yes it's a sacrifice, but one I'm willing to make. For the greater good people, for the greater good. I'm a giver!
Since I like a challenge, not only is it Bacon Month but it's also:
S'mores Week August 5 through August 10! Big celebration on August 10th since it's National Smore's Day. This is just me, making s'mores, for a whole week, just because. Yes I'm *that* kind of person!
Ice Cream Social Week August 11 through August 17. Lots of bloggers, lots of ice cream, and lots of stretchy pants for this one.
You can expect double posting some days to make sure none of them get mixed up. Although that may not be such a bad idea. Bacon S'mores Ice Cream any one? Bah ha ha!
Toodles and smoochies! xx

There is nothing quite like seeing the phrase "Bacon Month Announcement" in your feed.
Best month ever.
Kim Beaulieu
Ha, did you trip running over here?
I know right.

Bacon... just call me that dog on the Beggin' strips dog treat commercial. I love bacon and I can't wait to see all the yummies to come. 🙂
Kim Beaulieu
Lol Ramona. I feel like that every time I make bacon. I must have shoved an entire pound of bacon in my mouth today while cooking.
Kayle (The Cooking Actress)
ahahahaa omg so much bacon!
Kim Beaulieu
I love bacon.
john@kitchenriffs
Bacon definitely needs its own month! It has so much flavor and you can do so much with it - this is exciting news. I'll definitely be following all of this piggy goodness!
Kim Beaulieu
It really does. I think I ate an entire pound of it today. It was crazy.
adam @unorthodoxepicure
Kim - I want to thank you and the other ladies for going out on a limb in the interest of public service. (And I sincerely hope that 'Canadian Bacon' doesn't get plugged during Bacon Month, since it's really ham!) 😉
Kim Beaulieu
Bah ha ha. I would never, ever, ever do that to you Adam. I may combine the two in something magnificent though.
adam @unorthodoxepicure
Thank you, Kim. I enjoy Canadian Bacon alright, and I presume that y'all do too in the True North. I just had a one of those moments.. LOL 😉
Kim Beaulieu
Ha, you've inspired me to do something crazy. If it works I'll name it after you.
adam @unorthodoxepicure
Woo hoo! 🙂
Isabelle @ Crumb
Bacon month? Music to my....errrr... eyes. 🙂 Can't wait to see all the goodies you've got in store for us.
Kim Beaulieu
Ha, I know right. This is sure to be a ton of fun.
Angie | Big Bear's Wife
My husband is going to be so happy that I'm following along for Bacon Month! haha
Kim Beaulieu
Ha, the way I'm going I may not ever get any bacon on or in a dish. I was scarfing it faster than I could make it today. Scary.
Stephanie @ Eat. Drink. Love.
This is going to be the best month ever!
Kim Beaulieu
I know right.
mjskit
What a great month it's going to be!
Kim Beaulieu
Right. It's awesome.
Jennie @themessybakerblog
You are my hero, Kim! Bacon is the one thing that keeps me from being a vegetarian. Oh, and burgers...and steak. Mmm, bacon!
Kim Beaulieu
Ha, thanks. I am now hearing that Bette Midler song in my head. Apparently I'm a drama queen. Lol!
Aurora Importing
