Bacon Hot Sauce Review and Giveaway — 2 winners!—CLOSED

Messin’ around on facebook, as I do sometimes, I came across an ad for Bacon Hot Sauce . I’m thinking “Bacon Hotsauce my husband would be all over that”. My husband keeps several bottles of hot sauce on hand at all times. He eats it on pizza, burgers, tacos, burritos, mix it with ranch dressing for a dip, etc. Here is Bacon Hot Sauce Facebook Page: Bacon Hot Sauce on Facebook

I wondered what it was like. Bacon Hot Sauce was generous enough to send my husband and I, a bottle to try. I started thinking immediately what I wanted to try it on.

Looking at the bottle the label has this funny pic of a pig breathing fire and sweating with steam coming out of it’s ears.

The first thing I wanted to do was smell it. Would it smell like bacon? I tore the seal off the bottle and opened it up. Sure enough, mix of bacon and…well…hot sauce. After that, I wanted to try it. Immediately I put a small dap on my finger to taste. Woooo, ok definitely hot sauce! Tolerable for me. I like hot but I’m the kind of girl that when we go out for wings, orders the medium not the mild or hot. This is just right for me. And the Bacon flavor is noticeable. Not overwhelming, but a nice blend with the hot sauce.

I tried it on a hamburger during a 4th of July outing. Outstanding on a hamburger. Do you like a bacon cheeseburger? Then try this on your burger or cheeseburger. Adds the bacon flavor with a little bite.

My husband loves my Buffalo Chicken Dip. So, I made some for the the hubs.

Just so you know that’s hubby’s hand in the pic not mine. He had trouble getting the shot I wanted when I was pouring the Bacon Hot Sauce in, so I took over. He did try though. Maybe he has a hand modeling job in the future? lol. Anywho, the Bacon Hot Sauce Buffalo Chicken Dip turned out fantastic. Hubby and I each had an appetizer plate full. The Bacon flavoring really gives it an extra something that sets it apart from using a typical hot sauce.

I think most people have their own variation of the Buffalo Chicken dip but here is mine:

Buffalo Chicken Dip with Bacon Hot Sauce:

–small can of canned chunk chicken
–3/4 brick of 8 oz cream cheese (you can add the whole brick if you like it creamier)
–approx 1/2 up shredded cheese ( I used cheddar and montorrey jack blend but you can use whatever you like)
–about 1 tsp cayenne pepper (you can omit this if you don’t like it too spicy, the Bacon Hot Sauce itself would be good)
–Bacon Hot sauce to taste ( I used about 2 tablespoons full in this recipe)

I used a small dip crock pot. Add canned chicken and cream cheese. Warm until cream cheese is melted then stir. Add shredded cheese and mix until melted. Add 1 tsp cayenne pepper and mix. Then add Bacon Hot Sauce. Serve with tortillas, corn chips, crackers, or whatever else you’d like.

Bacon Hot Sauce has great customer service as well. You can get your own bottle of Bacon Hot Sauce here: http://www.baconhotsauce.com/

Review Summary: Definetly worth a try. Great for something a little different to add to your meals as an ingredient or condiment.

Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh Curious George Exhibit and Upcoming Review.

My family and I are not going on a “vacation” this year. We’re saving money to get a practical family car next month. I really wanted to do something fun and different as a family though. What would be exciting and not cost an arm and a leg? I started thinking of Pittsburgh, PA. So much to offer but we don’t take advantage of the opportunities as much as I’d like to. My main thought was “Well, we haven’t been to the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh yet”. Since I’ve never been there I went to the website to see what they have to offer my family.
www.pittsburghkids.org

The options and activities that the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh offer are almost overwhelming. I had no idea it would be so exciting. The exhibits sound like so much fun. I’m going to try to contain myself here and not let my inner child get out of hand…BUT…

1. They have a Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood exhibit. You can swing on his porch swing, you can try on a sweater and sneakers when you go in just like Mr. Roger’s did, climb aboard the neighborhood trolley, visit the castle and put on a puppet show, and lots, lots more. See for yourself here: More info on Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood Exhibit

2. The Nursery—This exhibit is for the babies and toddlers in your family. Like “baby play” for non-mobile infants and children like tummy time activites, and creeping and crawling activities. Then there’s the “Art bridge and Texture path” for sensory development (the Occupational Therapy Assistant in me says “yay Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh!) and more activies in The Nursery: The Nursery Exhibit

More exhibits like the Garage and Workshop, Waterplay, and more: Even more exhibits

Then there’s the current Temporary Exhibit: Curious George: Let’s Get Curious that includes things like:
1. Apartment Building: where you can use pulleys to move Curious George throughout the apartment building
2. Construction Site: where you…I mean your kids… can design a building in the construction trailer then get to work building it
3. Sidewalk Produce Sale: where kids can be the customer or salesperson and weigh, sort and count produce.

There are even more activities including Meet Curious George LIVE every Wed. at 11:30 am and every Sat. at 2 pm until October 2, 2010.

To see more activities and for even more information on the Curious George: Let’s Get Curious exhibit visit this site: www.GetCuriousPittsburgh.org you can sign up for emails here to get special offers, tips, and discounts.

Text “GEORGE” to 77007 to receive special offers and discounts via text message

NOT JUST EXHIBITS

While the exhibits sound like a full day of fun already, there’s even more at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh. The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh also offers classes for kids like: Tot Time for children ages 18 mo to 3 yrs with hands on activities, songs, and more using Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory. There’s also Woodworking Classes, Prototype day and more in this category as well.

Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh also offers workshops and camp ins, Birthday parties, Games, and more.

I contacted the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh. My family and I will be visiting Aug. 14 with a pass they are providing to see the museum for ourselves and provide a review for you…my readers! So be on the look out for my review in August

Upcoming review of CSN Stores

I know some of you have seen information lately about CSNstores.com. I decided to check them out. Looking through CSNstores.com I saw an array of products. Just about anything you might be looking for, for you home like lights for instance. My husband and I are always looking for cost effective ways to improve our home, lights are an easy and cost effective way to increase the look and warmth of the inside or outside of your home. When adding outdoor lights it can also increase the safety of the outside of your home. Walkways are more visible. You’re able to see who’s is coming toward your house. Your children can play in the backyard just a little longer with a good flood light. Set the ambiance of your outdoor pond or garden with accent lights. There’s a lot of things that adding lighting to your home can do. They don’t have to be expensive to serve the purpose.

Kichler accent spotlights

My husband and I were talking about wall sconces in our foyer. I think these ones from www.csnlighting.com/
are beautiful and inexpensive.

Coventry 1 light wall sconce pewter

Westinghouse wall sconce brushed nickel

These are only a couple examples of csnstore.com’s great lighting selection. www.csnstores.com has over 200+ stores to choose from. If your looking for say, toys for your child’s upcoming birthday, they have that.

Maybe your looking at meeting your fitness goals and want to look at exercise equipment. Yea, they have that too.

Me I’m in the market for a new 2 quart saucepan. I used the only 1 I had to make candles now I can’t use it to cook in. Though, it’s going to be tough choosing since we also need an exhaust fan in our bathroom and this one is just too cute in the lights section.

Stop in to http://www.csnlighting.com/
or any of the other 200+ stores that www.csnstores.com has to offer. You’re sure to find what you were looking for. Or maybe something will find you.

Have you added lighting somewhere inside or outside of your home? How did it change the look and quality of the space?
