I hosted an Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon party recently…and we had such a good time.
Thanks to Oscar Mayer we had napkins, a grocery list that has a magnetic back, recipe cards and a coupon for a free pack of turkey bacon for everyone in attendance.
Our special guest was Oscar. He hung out on the table all day and really enjoyed dancing and singing for everyone.
Oscar Mayer also provided the sparkly centerpiece, a serving tray, tongs and a spatula.
Other than the Oscar Mayer recipes I provided a few of my own.
This Quiche was made from Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon, Spinach, low fat cheese, and Egg Beaters.
Super easy to make, tasted fabulous…I almost got it WAY too done.
I also cut up chunks of deer tenderloin. I marinated it overnight then wrapped each piece in Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon and cooked it.
Ohhh, it was so good!
We call them Hoo-Dats. Not sure why, that is just what we have always called them.
We had a house full of friends and family enjoying one anothers company and having food on the table.
All the guest received some great goodies from Oscar Mayer and learned just how great tasting and versatile Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon can be.
Thank you to Oscar Mayer and House Party for a Fabulous time!

I have so much to tell you later! My weekend in Nashville was in one word WOW. From the Country Inn(troduction) Blog Party to the modern sofas at movie night it was non-stop. I wish I had felt better during the weekend to take further advantage of all that was offered but I think I over did it before I even got there. I am still recuperating and plan to just take it easy for several days. I hope that you all had a fabulous weekend and I can’t wait to catch up!
