Change. Your Life. With Bacon. This Bacon.

Yes folks, it’s that time again. It’s time to #ChangeYourLifeWithBacon.

Remember the iconic commercials from a year ago? Lucky mom! With the help of Ready Crisp Bacon from Maple Leaf Foods, she had her family at her beck and call. Light bulbs were changed, dishes were washed, tables were set. In short, Bacon = Power.

Well, the family is back! This year, the power of bacon is taken to a whole new level with a science fair project:

Now if you’ve watched the video and are looking for a little “Baconspiration” (I am trademarking that word, BTW) be sure to visit Appehtite, where you’ll find a wealth of recipes where bacon is the star attraction. Roasted Potato Leek Soup With Bacon, Bacon Mac and Cheese or Bacon Quiche anyone? You can find all these recipes – and more – at Canada’s Kitchen.

Still wanting more? We aim to please! Join us for a YUM-MAZING #ChangeYourLifeWithBacon Twitter Party with @MapleLeafFoods on Wednesday, June 11th at 8:00pm ET!

Now, you want to talk about prizes? Okay, let’s talk about prizes. How about FIVE winners of Bacon for a YEAR (52 coupons)! And if that wasn’t enough to make you drop everything, we’ll also be giving away #BonusBacon to any partiers who catch our eye with tweets, whether they be funny, creative or show ultimate Bacon Love. And, we *may* have yet another special surprise up our sleeves, but you’ll just have to join us to find out!

RSVP now for a chance to win, and we’ll see you on Wednesday night! …

In an interview with a fashion industry web site, Kate Moss said, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” Said the rest of the world: Bacon! – Seth Myers

Bacon has long been a favourite in households across Canada; the smoky aroma of sizzling bacon is a welcome addition to any – and every – morning. But our love for bacon is more than just skillet deep; asked to choose between bacon and sex, a whopping 43% of Canadians chose bacon. Men are particularly enamoured with it; according to the same survey (commissioned by Maple Leaf Foods), almost 18% said they simply can’t survive without bacon. Seriously. (Source: Angus Reid)

(Yes, that’s my kid, ready to pounce on a bacon cupcake. We like to start ’em out early!)

Regardless, bacon has played an important role in our culture and lives, bringing us together through the good times (the new Canadian Bacon Cookhouse in Halifax) and bad (the worldwide bacon shortage forecasted in 2012).

If you missed our epic Twitter Party on July 9th, fear not! Here’s your chance to re-create your entire world – one that revolves around bacon, that is. Now, you too can Change Your Life with Bacon!

One lucky Canadian reader will win a Maple Leaf Foods Bacon Prize Pack valued at $100+.

You’ll receive $50 in Free Product Coupons (that’s a LOT of bacon!), a branded t-shirt, a chore chart for your family and an OPI nail polish to treat yourself to a manicure while your family tolls away.

(My husband has since confiscated my Bacon t-shirt for himself. Why? Because he finds the combination of taking out two cute little boys AND wearing a Bacon t-shirt to be a “chick magnet”. I say: Hey husband, whatever works for you! While you’re taking the boys out to play, I’m relaxing in my hammock. #lifechanger)

What is it about bacon that is so darn life changing? Is it the saltiness of the meat? Or the irresistible combination of crispy and chewy? Why is bacon considered to be a staple for Canadians, ranking up there with maple syrup, double doubles and doughnuts? Regardless, bacon has played an important role in our culture and lives, bringing us together through the good times (the new Canadian Bacon Cookhouse in Halifax) and bad (the worldwide bacon shortage forecasted in 2012)….
