So when I was asked if I wanted to try some Smithfield Bacon I jumped at the chance because I knew I had two willing...

As I've said before, I love coffee – hot or cold!  And I'm a very proud owner of a Keurig.  Not sure how I got along without it before!   There are hundreds of K-Cup varieties out there and I have a few favorites.  The thing I love about K-Cups is that you aren't opening up the entire can of coffee to go stale if you only make a cup or two a week.  Not that I only have a couple of cups of coffee a week, but I like to change up what I do have.  If I bought different kinds of coffee in the can or bag, I'd have a bunch open at once and I'd never finish them before they go stale.  I know this because I used to do this before I owned a Keurig. K-Cups stay fresh because each cup of coffee is...
