We owe this incredible find to our buddies over at TopCultured.com. It's Bacon Jam. Yup. Spreadable bacon goodness for slathering on toast, burgers, sandwiches, and just about anything else that could use a little baconizing.

According to Skillet, the concocters of this culinary act of genius, they "take a big bunch of really, really good bacon and render it down... add a bunch of spices, onions, etc... let it simmer for about 6 hours... give it a quick puree, and blast chill it... and you have bacon jam.

Yes. You. Do.

Tailgates just went down-home gourmet.

When you think of the All-American Man a few things should come to mind: Whiskey. Mustaches. Karate. Muscle cars. But most of all... Bacon.

Wright Brand Bacon is hand-selected from the best port bellies and slow cooked with natural hardwoods for eight hours. But the signature quality is the hearty, thick-cut strips that peel off so beautifully you might be tempted to eat it right then and there. M-A-N.

Well it was bound to happen. With all the herb-infused, fruit-infused and spice-infused vodkas out there, experimentation with what little ingredients remained was bound to lead us to this: Bacon Flavored Vodka.

I can guarantee you bacon vodka is a staple in Guy Heaven. Served right alongside the hot wings and chili cheese dogs that give you six-pack abs.

If you want to make some of your own - and you know you do - try this simple recipe from McAuliflower over at Brownie Points. She suggests using it in Bloody Mary's or in a Cloudy Martini with a blue cheese stuffed olive. I'm thinking it also makes an unbelievable marinade for steaks. All you need is a few strips of bacon, some vodka, and a little patience. Welcome to Guy Heaven.

Once again bacon shows why it's our favorite food. Besides being delicious, it's the MacGyver of foods. Breakfast? It's there. On a burger at the tailgate? Perfect. Throw a little crumbled bacon in a healthy salad, and you're good to go.

But for those of you who crave a little sweet with your fried pork... I got you covered with this recipe for bacon candy. Yup. Bacon. Candy. Fried savory goodness, bathed in sweet deliciousness. For the true health nut.

It comes to us from Instructables.com and the recipe calls for bacon, brown sugar... and cayenne pepper. Um. ok. So it works for you guys who love the fried pig, sweet candy, and hot pepper.

Either pure insanity... or pure culinary genius. I'll let you decide.

Get the full recipe here.

The guys over at J&D's have either lost their minds completely, or are even bigger geniuses than we thought.

The pork-loving makers of Bacon Salt, Baconnaise and Bacon Lip Balm, have a new product planned for store shelves near you: Baconlube. Yep. A bacon flavored "personal lubricant." For the lady who can't get enough salty meatiness.

It's in beta testing right now, and they are looking for guys to volunteer as product testers. So if you've got a girl who loves pork as much as you do, and doesn't mind bringing it into bed, send J&D an email at keepitsizzlin@baconsalt.com

And then get to porking in the name of science.

You prayed to the culinary gods, and they listened. No more is beloved bacon relegated to breakfast side item or burger topping. Forward thinking and pork loving chefs around the globe are recognizing bacon's potential as a dessert. Yup. Meat. For dessert.

And I'm not talking about bacon being served as dessert at greasy, side-of-the-road barbecue joints either. In a Time Magazine piece, they talk about trendy urban bakeries serving up bacon-laced treats like bacon cupcakes, bread pudding with bacon brittle, and a bacon chocolate crunch bar. There was even bacon ice cream churned out by contestants on Bravo's Top Chef. (Ben? Jerry? You listening?)

Why the sudden love of adding pork saltiness to sweets? According to the Time article: "Bacon works in dessert for the same reason peanut butter works with chocolate, or sea salt with caramel. Salt brings out the depth of flavor in desserts (try eating a salt-free brownie), and fatty foods are often cut by sweetness, like foie gras with Sauternes or fried chicken with honey."

And bacon has become the Jackie Robinson of dessert meats, opening the door for other entree staples to cross over as after meal treats. Like the foie gras surrounded by cotton candy served at Washington's Minibar and Los Angeles' Bazaar, or shrimp and salted caramels served at LA's Sona.

If you're thinking of trying some sweet bacon goodness at home, or whipping something up for your Valentine (because nothing says "I love you" like chocolate covered pork), Time has five recipes here.

And you can watch a video of chefs Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo of Los Angeles' Animal, throwing together a batch of their Bacon Chocolate Crunch Bar, here.

How many times have you been out on a date with your girlfriend, wife, one-night-stand-to-be, or left hand... at a fancy, overpriced, guaranteed to over-promise and under-deliver steakhouse, when you find yourself staring down at the flickering light of the candle on the table thinking to yourself, “If only there was some way I could finally combine my love of bacon, mood lighting and candle-eating...”?

First off, you probably have some weird disorder that would pretty much rule out that your dinner companion was any of the first three mentioned above, and second, you’re just the target demographic that David Burke’s Primehouse in Chicago is looking for with its Bacon Fat Candles.

The concept of using animal fat in candles is certainly not groundbreaking. I’m pretty sure the ancient Egyptians cornered that market sometime back when dirt was a novelty. But the idea to create an animal fat candle that doubles as a condiment just might be... and we have Chef Rick Gresh to thank for it. The plan seems to be to have the little 2-inch flaming fat candles in all of their pyro-porcinic beauty gracing the tables of the restaurant, and when the food comes out the diners can simply pour their candles over whatever butter-fried bounty lies before them. Finally, someone has ...There's more

It's one of the questions women hit me with most often: "Is it ok to give flowers to a guy?"

It can't be said enough: Bacon is the perfect food. (You know, health-nut rantings aside.) It can be enjoyed all by itself for breakfast, atop a sandwich enhancing the stuff beneath, or even as part of a gourmet dinner, wrapped around scallops or a juicy filet. It's even at home crumbled in a salad (Take that health nuts...)

But as most chefs know, bacon can be used in so many more interesting and delicious ways. Fortunately for us, 18 of them have slipped some of their favorite recipes into the new Bacon Freak Cook Book.

It's packed with the best ways to exploit the joys of bacon for every meal, including appetizers and desserts. (Bacon for dessert? Yes please.) And since you can grab a paperback copy for under $8, or download the PDF version instantly for just under $3... this is one cook book that needs to be in every guy's kitchen. (Order here.)

And to prove it, here is one of the recipes you'll find in the book. It's from chef Rick Bayless, a bacon freak in his own right, and host of the TV show Mexico - One Plate at a Time. Rick offers up his Avocado Mango Salad recipe, which prominently features his favorite ingredient. According to Rick, "Whenever I'm stuck on what to do in a particular recipe, I always think. WWBD?” Amen, Rick.

That's right, me and Iron Mike did a podcast together... Sort of.

Meat is delicious. In ball form, it's delicious and convenient. Whether on a sub or in spaghetti, we love meatballs. And if you're planning a game day get together, they're excellent to throw on a platter for a crowd.

New York Times Bestselling author, Stephanie Ashcraft, has a new cookbook coming out called 101 Things to Do with Meatballs that's full of ridiculously easy to make recipes you can toss together quickly. (They did a promo where they gave away 10,000 copies of the book for free, and they've already given them all away. Next time I'll get more advanced warning.)

The recipes are based on using bags of frozen, fully cooked meatballs (she uses the ones from Farm Rich) that mean you don't have to stand around balling up meat all day, and you're eating in no time.

Here are three quick appetizers that are perfect for this weekend's in-house tailgate.

Meatball Jalapeno Poppers
Makes 26 pieces
13 Jalapenos, stemmed
1 package (8 oz) Cream cheese, softened
13 Frozen, fully cooked meatballs, thawed
13 slices (1 lb) Sliced bacon, cut in half

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Slice each pepper in half lengthwise, remove the seeds, and rinse out. (Note: use gloves when doing this to prevent irritation.) Spread cream cheese in each jalapeno half. Cut meatballs in half. Place each meatball half, cut side down, over cream cheese. Wrap a half slice of bacon around each stuffed jalapeno and secure with a toothpick. Place on baking sheet and bake 25-30 minutes, or until bacon is browned. Serve immediately on a platter.

By now you've seen or read about, or even tasted, the newest trend to hit your local bar: meat infused booze.

The technical term for adding meaty goodness to your favorite spirit is "fat washing," and the most typical fat washed liquor you may have run across is bacon vodka. (Both delicious and mood altering.) But mixologists worldwide are experimenting with all kinds of meats, and adding them to all kinds of spirits. With whiskeys and bourbons being the next most popular - their deep, rich, smokey flavor is a perfect compliment to the deep, rich, smokey flavor of the meat.

So whether you want to add some bacon to your vodka for a next-level Bloody Mary, or some corned beef to your whiskey for an unforgettable St. Patrick's Day cocktail, you'll definitely want to have some of these meat infused spirits on hand.

But there is a right way and a wrong way to fat wash. Some just stuff the cooked meat into the bottle and let it soak for days or weeks, then strain out the solids. And that can work, but there is a much better way. And it yields a lot more flavor. While at Kingsford U, Josh Perry, the mixologist from Pican restaurant in Oakland, CA, showed us the proper technique for getting the most flavor out of whatever you choose to infuse. So grab some meat, a bottle of your favorite spirit, fire up the grill, and get to fat washing.

Here's How to Fat Wash:
1. Start a fire in your grill. Place a large aluminum pan directly on the coals, positioned to catch the drippings of the meat above.

2. Place enough meat on the grill to render at least 1 1/2-3 ounces of fat. For example, 5 slices of bacon should ...There's more

We are some avocado-eating sports fans.

According to the Haas Avocado Board, about 49.5 million pounds of avocados will be eaten during on Super Bowl Sunday. That's enough to cover the field at Arizona’s University of Phoenix Stadium, end zone to end zone, over 19 feet deep.

Much of that will probably be eaten as guacamole, but there are other ways to serve this vitamin and mineral packed fruit.

If you're getting tired of the same old tortilla-chip-and-guac routine, try this simple recipe from AvocadoCentral.com for their Avocado Parmesan Potato Bowls. They're perfect for game day, you don't need a fork to eat them and you can whip together a big platter full in about a half hour.

Looking to give some chocolate this Mother's Day or Easter? Leave the bon bons and the bunnies to the guys with no imagination. This year you're going unique, unusual and custom. This year you're going with Chocri.

Imagine a site where you can select one of four delicious gourmet chocolate bases (milk, dark, white, and a milk and white combo), then add on your choice of up to five toppings, from a list of dozens that includes such taste bud pleasing favorites as raisins, roasted almonds, caramel pieces and rice crispies.

But before you think Chocri has stopped at the doorstep of The Expected Usual, they cross over into the exotic, unusual, and downright insane, with a bevy of additional topping choices that'll blow your chocolate-loving mind. Think Bourbon Vanilla, ground chili, basil, cayenne pepper, wasabi peanuts, real gold flakes, candied rose petals, corn flakes, or my personal favorite: Bacon.

Yep. Bacon. And trust me, the bacon chocolate bar I ordered did not last long. The folks at Chocri let me create a few bars to try, and Bacon with Fleur de Sel (sea salt) on dark chocolate was the first one I created on their ridiculously easy-to-use shopping cart. And once you create them, you can name your new chocolate inventions whatever you want. The others I tried, in case you want some excellent recipe suggestions, were:

Suggested by Carmen from Chocri:
My Chocri: Milk Chocolate with Strawberry Bits, Roasted Almonds, Hazelnut Brittle, Cinnamon and Real Gold Flakes. (Perfect for mom or your girl. Great combo of sweet and salty.)

Bacon: Dark Chocolate with Bacon and Fleur de Sel. (The perfect meat candy for any occasion.)

Anti-Hangover Chocolate Bar: Milk Chocolate with Ginger, Banana Chips, Coffee and Fleur de Sel (The ginger really pushes the flavor over the edge. I'm now addicted. Didn't have it after a hangover, so can't attest to it's powers there.)

Created and named by me:
Beer Nuts Bar: Milk Chocolate with Peanuts, Roasted Almonds, Organic Salt Pretzels, Raisins and Roasted Cashews. (Carmen was skeptical of my ode to bar food, but it delivers a great mix of sweet and salty.)

The Tropical Bachelor: Milk Chocolate with Mango Cubes, Coconut Flakes, Pineapple Bits, Caramel Pieces and Bourbon Vanilla. (What I imagine enjoying with a couple of hula dancers on a tropical island somewhere...)

This is yet another example of what I call the "Reeses Effect": the thinking that any two great tastes will taste great together.

We love bacon. Mayo is delicious on a sandwich. Boom. Baconnaise.

Whipped up by the guys who gave us Bacon Salt - and who are apparently on the payroll of cardiologists nationwide - Baconnaise is the next step in their baconizing of every meal, and the result of a customer request to make spreadable bacon. So, basically, some guy got really stoned, emailed the company that he was jonesing for some spreadable bacon, and next thing you know, they're putting it in jars.

Just in case you're thinking this is a spreadable heart attack, the makers of Baconnaise want you to know that aint so. Or at least it's no more dangerous than traditional mayo. The regular stuff packs 10g of fat per serving, while the bacon infused version comes in at 9g. You save a gram of fat AND get bacon goodness. They also say that topping your turkey sandwich with three slices of bacon has more than twice the fat, at 20.5g. Sounds downright healthy. They should be pushing this stuff on "The Biggest Loser."

Speaking of which, if you're health conscious and still crave bacon, they have a Lite version that trims the fat all the way back to 2.5g. Almost too good to be true.

Which begs the question: so how does it taste? I have no clue. They didn't send me a sample jar. So check out Jon Stewart eating a pancake-wrapped sausage dipped in the stuff (comes in at around the 2 minute mark), and you'll have your answer.

Just because we're guys doesn't mean we can't enjoy a cupcake now and then. But when we crave a little cake in a cup, we don't want it covered in pink frosting and sprinkles. We want liquor and bacon. With a camouflage chocolate on top. A manly cupcake we can be proud to bite into at a tailgate party or barbecue.

But those can be hard to find, since most bakeries seem to cater to the more feminine cupcake aficionado. Thankfully there are a few pastry masters out there who understand our tastes, and have responded with a selection of baked goodness that earned the right to be called "manly." Here's who to call to supply dessert for your holiday party, or just for when you've got a hankering for a beer-soaked, bacon-topped, mancake:

Bleeding Heart Bakery
Located in Chicago, this local favorite features their unique "punk rock pastry" including their famous tattoo cakes and their manly meat and booze cupcakes that come in flavors like Tequila and Lime, Irish Car Bomb, Pizza (stuffed w provolone, marinara sauce and italian sausage), Pancakes and Bacon, BBQ Pork, Corn Dog (corn cake filled with Vienna sausages and ketchup). Forget firing up the grill for the barbecue, just break out a dozen of these bad boys.

Any place that sells t-shirts urging you to "Eat Cupcakes. Drink Beer. Riot." definitely knows how to make a manly cupcake. And if you're handy with a mixer, you can buy their cupcake cook book and whip up a batch of your own.

It's OK to stuff yourself with burgers and Buffalo wings at winter tailgates because you can hide the resulting flab under sweatshirts and jerseys. But in the summer, going shirtless at pool parties requires a little more discretion when deciding whether to head back to the grill for seconds. Or thirds.

So how do meat-loving guys balance between eating the foods we love, and looking good in a pair of board shorts? I asked Chef Devin Alexander to give me her take on a couple of party favorites to see if we could get healthier versions without sacrificing flavor. Or resorting to using tofu.

Devin wrote The Biggest Loser Cookbook for the hit NBC show, and recently released her newest book, The Most Decadent Diet Ever, with recipes from her show, “Healthy Decadence” which airs on the Discovery Health Channel. Below are two recipes from her new book, one for a Bacon BBQ Cheeseburger that, by just changing a few ingredients, saves 180 calories and 22 grams of blubber-inducing fat; and one for Boneless Buffalo Strips with Blue Cheese Dressing that comes in 302 calories and 38 grams of fat lighter than the original.

Food Network star Guy Fieri has a busy November coming up.

When he's not doing any of that, or driving his drop top to drive-ins and dives around the country, Guy's doing what he loves: cooking. And tailgating.

The Samuel Adam’s Utopias MMXI has just been released, and beer aficionados across the country (except for the states in which it’s banned), are scrambling to get their hands on one of the rarest beers brewed in the United States (A bottle will set you back $150). Just in case you’ve forgotten click here for a Utopias refresher.

Utopias is one of those things in life that you either get or you don’t. I put it in the same category as scotch and cigars. When it comes to Utopias I get it. I think it’s one of the most creative and remarkable beer creations of the last 50 years, and a true testament to the skill and dedication to the art of craft brewing that Samuel Adams has become famous for.

Since it’s really meant to be enjoyed after dinner, why not pair Utopias with dessert? To make the perfect companion for something as over-the-top as Utopias Sam Adams partnered with New York City’s Butch Bakery to come up with a pair of cupcake recipes designed to hold their own against the 27% ABV behemoth.

Butch Bakery has taken the estrogen content of cupcakery to near ppm levels with their guy-friendly creations, and their two Utopias-inspired recipes are no different. Two words for ya, buttercream and bacon. A half-pound of bacon...

So put that apron on, pour yourself a snifter of Sam Adams Utopias and get to baking. And if you’re feeling extra inspired, try putting a tablespoon or so of Utopias into the frosting in place of the vanilla for a real treat.

The Cake: Maple
The Frosting: Milk Chocolate Buttercream
The Kicker: Caramelized Bacon Bit Topping

Maple Cupcakes
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda ...There's more

For those of us that have been in the job market and researched a company prior to an interview, we all know that most company websites suck.

But not BooneOakley's. This award-winning ad agency put their entire "website" online in the form of a YouTube video. (Even typing in BooneOakley.com will just redirect you right to the "main page" video on YouTube.)

Not many companies will let you watch a failed, egg-shaped marketing director get murdered by his wife. Life lesson right there. Get married, stop bringing home the bacon, and you'll get whacked by a hitman.

Buccaneers were large pirate crews that pillaged and plundered their way around the Caribbean back in the 1600's. They were also, according to the guys over at Buccaneer Blends BBQ and Steak Sauces (and verified at wikipedia), among the world's first avid barbecuers.

Here's some more little-known knowledge to drop on you: The term "buccaneer" comes from the French word "boucanier", for hunters who would smoke the meat of animals they caught on wooden frames over a fire. And The Oxford English Dictionary credits the first recorded use of the word "barbecue" in the English language to the British buccaneer William Dampier in 1697. So, we have our 17th century pirate brothers to thank for the tradition of ending a hard week of pillaging and plundering by grilling and partying.

In honor of those original barbecuers, Buccaneer Blends has developed a line of outstanding all-natural gourmet sauces - five BBQ sauces (Sticky Rum, Apple Maple, spicy Fra Diavlo, tropical Honey Mango, and Mesquite), and two steak sauces (Pirate’s Original and Swashbucklin’ Spicy) - that'll bring some of that original pirate flavor to your next cookout.

Here's five of their recipes to get you in the buccaneer spirit. For more, and to order some sauce, click here

You spent your entire childhood driving dad to drink. Now you're old enough to buy him a bottle and enjoy a couple of drinks with him.

To toast the man from whose loins you sprung forth, here are a few spirits worthy of the honor.

And because man does not live by drink alone, there are a few edible gifts thrown in as well... stuff dad will love, but would never think of getting himself.

Bols Genever

Before there was Vodka, before there was Gin, there was Genever. Considered the "original white spirit" you can't get much more old school than this centuries-old veteran cocktail ingredient.

Made with juniper berries (gin owes its origins to Genever), blended with maltwine (made by triple-distilling a mash of rye, corn and wheat) and boasting an alcohol content of 42%, Genever has a powerful, complex flavor and unique smooth taste that makes it the ideal cocktail mixer.

Lucas Bols, the world’s oldest distilled spirits brand is re-launching its original 1820's recipe for Bols Genever, and reintroducing some forgotten classics like The Holland House and The Collins. Grab the recipes on their site, mix up a couple for you and dad, and toast to a time when men were as strong as the booze they drank.

Corzo Tequila Anejo

Corzo Tequila Anejo is new to the Tequila market, and just like a step-dad, it can't replace the original, only try to honor the memory. Corzo Tequila is deceptively smooth and easy to drink, a mellow tasting Tequila that has been processed to the edge of perfection and ready to compete with some of the more well known brands. Corzo is too new to make you forget about other Tequilas, but it has what it takes to make a lasting impression. Plus, the Frank Lloyd Wright-esque bottle design will stand out on his liquor shelf.

Hint: Put an impressive spin on your gift order, add a personalized, engraved metal label. It won't cost you anything, and will add a touch of class to a gift that says "Thanks for restoring my Mom's faith in men." (If your step-dad is as cool as mine was he'll get a good laugh out of it. Then pour you a glass.) -- Lincoln Chinnery

Vintage Confections

If your dad is a sugar-fiend, make sure to check out the homemade offerings at Vintage Confections. With an assortment that would make Augustus Gloop's jaw drop, you can be sure to find something he'll like.

Remember the old "Put a Tiger in Your Tank" ads from Esso/Exxon? Now you can put an animal in your crankcase.

G-Oil, from Green Earth Technologies, is the first-ever eco-friendly, biodegradable motor oil made from American-grown, renewable animal fats. (I'm thinking like bacon grease, only much thicker. And less tasty.)

These saturated fats have molecular single-bond carbon chains similar to common petroleum oils, but have no harmful effects on the environment. (Or on the animals.) And while it takes three barrels of crude oil to make one barrel of motor oil, it only takes one barrel of animal fat to produce one barrel of G-OIL.

And if you're thinking that pouring a few quarts of fat-based oil into your car will make the engine squeal rather than purr, G-Oil has met and passed all the engine test criteria for The American Petroleum Institute (API) SM Certification, their highest rating. And it costs the same or less than traditional motor oils.

Available in a variety of weights from 5W-20 to SAE-30, you can get better performance from your engine, while lessening your environmental impact. Might be time for an oil change.

I wonder if Carl Warner's mother ever told him to stop playing with his food. Probably not, considering the incredibly elaborate landscapes he creates using everyday food he finds in the supermarket.

In Warner's world, mashed potatoes and bread become mountains, purple lettuce is the ocean at night, breadsticks become a dock, and, god bless him, trees are made of bacon.

He and his crew of food stylists and model makers pile food into shopping carts, then spend days turning a month's worth of groceries into completely edible landscapes. When it's done, they photograph it all for posterity. And for Warner's new coffee table book, "Food Landscapes" that just came out in October.

For a glimpse into Warner's edible world, check out the dozen images below.

If he hadn't "left the building," Elvis Presley would be 75 years-old today. And celebrating in Vegas in a sequined jumpsuit surrounded by a half dozen bikinied hotties a third of his age. In the Jungle Room.

In honor of his would-be 75th, Three-O Vodka has put together a few cocktail recipes that you can use to toast the birth of The King. Any of which go great with a peanut butter and 'nana sandwich, some sweet potatoes, and whole mess of burnt bacon.

Thank ya. Thankyaverymuch.

Forget bowls of chips and platters of cheese cubes. That crap's for regular season games. This is the Big One. The Super Bowl. I mean, it's got "Super" right in its name. This game deserves something special in the way of party platters. So, in honor of this super game, I give you The Greatest Snack Food Stadium Ever Built.

Conceived and constructed by the twisted geniuses over at HolyTaco.com, this edible stadium/table centerpiece consists of 58 Twinkies, a pound of bacon, a pound of guacamole, queso dip, salsa, Vienna sausages, Cheetos, tortilla chips, Chex Mix and Slim Jim goal posts. (A football-shaped summer sausage blimp is optional, but highly recommended.)

Should you decide to build your own, the guys at Holy Taco say you should expect to shell out a whopping $86.47. Far less than the $1.3 billion or so the Cowboys are ponying up for their new stadium. But then again, their stadium doesn't pack 24,375 calories and 1,285 grams of fat.

To build your own, get the step-by-step instructions here.

Here is the answer to every guy's morning dream: Fresh hot pancakes at home, in minutes, without the prep and mess.

Sure, you can buy ready-made batter in a jug or carton, but where's the fun in that? With the Batter Blaster (insert porn sounding name joke here), you can instantly shoot certified organic pancake batter right into your pan, in just about any shape you want. Make pancake sports team logos. Or cartoon characters. Write your name. Or write your girl's name. That way you get to tell her to stay over... you'll treat her to your Batter Blaster in the morning.

It's over. You made it through. The family. The travel. The food. Done. (Until next month when you have to do it again. With the added joy of gift giving.) Now you have a fridge full of leftover turkey your aunt made you bring home (because you're looking too thin) and you're not sure you can look at another piece of white meat, let alone try to choke down another bite.

Rather than leave it in there until it turns green and starts to decompose, turn it into something you will eat. Something other than the dry (and quickly getting dryer) slab of roasted poultry it is now.

Turkey salad is the way to go. Other ingredients in the mix will add flavor and moisture. And it's versatile, perfect for any situation. You can throw it on a sub roll with some cranberry sauce for lunch. Or grab some crackers and have it as a snack. Or line a couple of plates with lettuce leaves and top each with a scoop for a quick, healthy dinner she'll love.

BG's What Am I Gonna Do With All This Turkey? Salad

You'll need:
3 cups cooked turkey, chopped
1/2 cup light mayo
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3-4 green onions, chopped
2-3 celery stalks, chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped (optional, but adds color)
Salt and pepper to taste

Put everything in a large mixing bowl, and mix until thoroughly coated. Boom. Done.

This basic recipe is to get you going. If you're feeling adventurous, add some chopped bacon. Or some diced apples with walnuts or pecans. Even grapes work. The idea is to create something different, interesting, and flavorful that you'll actually eat. Because your mother would be very upset if she knew you were wasting food.

Every guy and his dad loves a big, meaty burger. But in today’s world of "The Biggest Loser," we are inundated with warnings of excess calories and all the health concerns that come along with it. It's almost enough to make a guy eat tofu. Almost.

Fear not my fellow carnivores. Chef Kyle Reynolds of Le Cordon Bleu Atlanta -- the prestigious culinary institute -- have designed a burger that delivers flavor, is packed with nutrients, and is lower in fat and calories.

Billed "The Ultimate Burger," it'll allow you and dad to enjoy some juicy flame-grilled goodness, without worrying you're gonna get your inheritance sooner than later. Here's Chef Reynolds' recipe, so you can make some next weekend.

The Ultimate Burger
Servings: 4

12 ounces White Oak Pastures grassfed ground beef (2.6% fat)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 ounces Sweet Grass Dairy – Green Hill cheese
4 hamburger buns
2 ounces fat-free mayonnaise

1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon peel, finely grated

What's the best way to cure a hangover? That debate's been raging as long as people have been waking up on strange floors with steel-drum bands banging away inside their heads.

Last year on New year's Day, I posted a few remedies to help you avoid spending the first day of the new year clinging to the porcelain goddess. Along with a brief explanation of what causes the pounding and nausea. (You can read it here.)

Basically the prevailing wisdom is that since the hangover is caused by dehydration and toxins in your system, taking in fluids with electrolytes and a little sodium, and eating greasy foods that can absorb the toxins, will reverse the effects. Suggestions were sports drinks, fruit juices and a late night breakfast of eggs and bacon or sausage.

Over at Chow.com they've posted an article (read it here), with ten common hangover cures, including painkillers, Taurine (the ingredient in many energy drinks), Pedialyte (yup, the stuff you feed babies with diarrhea), Vegemite and even borsht. They also include some caveats for a couple of these remedies, like taking a painkiller with acetaminophen, such as Tylenol, can actually cause liver damage in combination with alcohol.

But, just like opinions and insane exes, when it comes to hangover cures, everyone has one. ...There's more

Most of us - fortunately or unfortunately - can walk into almost any fast food place and order without looking at the menu. We've got them memorized, and have our favorite "usual" at each place.

But some places have a few secret menu items (with a couple, like In-N-Out Burger, that post their entire "secret" menu on their website), that can be ordered... IF you know what to ask for.

To get you "in the know" the next time you swing by the drive-thru on a late night quest for Fourth Meal, here are some of those secrets revealed by our friends at Couponsherpa.com, for 24 popular fast food pushers.

A word of warning: As you can probably imagine, the creations listed here are, for the most part, even more fattening and unhealthy than the regular menu items. So order with caution.

And, as with anything posted on the InterWebs, there is some debate as to the accuracy of the list, and actual availability of said items... but as CouponSherpa says: "Not all may participate in the hidden menu. However, if you try to order something and the server looks at you with a blank look, don't give up. Describe the dish and usually they'll make it for you anyway." (Personally, I have a tough enough time trying to get my local fast food slinger to get my normal order right... so if they look at me weird, I'm going with the usual.)

I would usually say something here like: "If you want to impress a date with your knowledge of these secrets..." but if you're taking a date to one of these places, there ain't much chance of you impressing her... BUT, if you're looking for something other than the usual (and my favorite is the McGangBang), here is a selection of some items that'll shake up your fast food cravings:
