Happy birthday to my meat-lovin’ birthday boy!

Hi guys! Popping in one more time to say hi before the holidays – and a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY shout out to my boo! It’s Brad’s birthday today (and also 7 months exactly until our wedding!!) so it’s feeling quite celebratory around here, indeed. Let’s eye-indulge with some incredible cozy food!

This white been risotto with garlicky greens is my winter love-food. I want to cozy up with a big bowl of this STAT.

These mint snowman marshmallows are possibly the greatest holiday gift I’ve ever seen. Cannot handle the cuteness!

Hey guys! Happy DECEMBER! My very favorite month of the year.

Foodie Favorites – November 19, 2015

Wedding registering (!!!!) requires healthy sustenance (and booze).

Hey everyone! Are you in the full-blown Thanksgiving spirit yet? Even though Thanksgiving totally crept up on me this year, I could not be more excited and am eagerly counting down the days until next week. My mom and I are making these bacon roasted sweet potatoes, my all-time favorite pretzel bread stuffing, my future mother-in-law’s broccoli casserole, and pumpkin pie – so we should certainly have our work cut out for us! Thanksgiving is one of my absolute favorite days of the year, and I definitely feel like I have a lot to be thankful for this year. Let’s dive into the holiday spirit with this week’s Foodie Favorites!

Another incredible stuffing – this fig, herb, and sausage stuffing looks to-die-for. I absolutely love the idea of adding figs – what a perfect naturally sweet touch!

These salted chocolate pecan pie bars are calling to me. I never end up eating pecan pie on Thanksgiving because I love pumpkin pie and often find pecan pie a bit too much after such a big meal. These cute little bars look like the perfect compromise – so I can have my pumpkin pie and eat my pecan pie bars, too!

Foodie Favorites – November 5, 2015

Pumpkin beer and the most epic pumpkin cake for my future sister-in-law Tara’s birthday last week. What, you don’t pair beer with your desserts too?

Hey guys! How’s your November going so far? It has finally cooled down a little bit in the Bay Area (we’re talking actual 50’s!!), and the falling temps combined with the whole dark-at-5 thing has me totally feeling the Fall love – FINALLY! I can’t wait to make chili and snuggle up with some wine and a movie and do it all up. I hope you’re embracing some Fall coziness, too. Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

This creamy pumpkin spaghetti is going on my to-make list ASAP. It looks cozy yet healthy and hearty at the same time!

I wouldn’t trust myself around these epic double dark chocolate peanut butter cup cookies. How incredible do those look?!
