Yesterday, Nestle flew me to Solon, Ohio to attend a day-long conference and roundtable discussion on the topic of Let’s Fix Dinner. This morning we started out in the Nestle Baking Kitchen meeting with Jenny from VeryBestBaking.com and eating fresh-baked cookies (YUM). Then we moved into their Culinary Center which is like a huge kitchen with grills and a wood-fire pizza oven station and people chopping and grilling and mixing.
There is Pecan-Crusted BACON, people. I am in heaven.
We’ve only been here an hour and I’ve already been reminded of just how loyal I am to the Nestle brand. I’ve mentioned before that the only acceptable chocolate chip cookie as far as my husband is concerned is ones made with Nestle Toll House Mini Morsels.
Other products made by Nestle include Carnation Condensed Milks, Libby pumpkin, Pria bars, Powerbars, and of course, CANDY. There’s a little tray sitting in front of me with mini butterfingers and nestle crunch bars.
BACON COATED IN BROWN SUGAR, ROLLED IN CRUSHED PECANS, AND BAKED. NOM NOM NOM NOM.
We’re having presentations from a psychologist, an expert on raising teens, Antonia from last season’s Top Chef, and our moderator is a famous Cleveland newscaster. Pretty cool.
I’ll be twittering regularly today with the hashtag #letsfixdinner if you want to keep an eye on those.
I NEED MOAR BACON.






























I’m salivating as I read – the bacon sounds heavenly! So jealous – loved Antonia! Can’t wait to read more!

I’ll be in hog heaven if I ever got my hands on those pecan-crusted bacon! I’m practically drooling while reading about those gorgeous chocolates. Yummy! :)
That bacon sounds deadly. Mmmmmm. I love chocolate chip cookies of all sorts, but there’s something special about a Toll House morsel. . .

Pecan bacon does sound pretty darn good. It is so funny to me that you are in Solon. One of my friends from college lived there so we drove him home the one day…it was our running joke for a long time after that to say “So Long, Solon”…
