Cinnamon Streusel Pumpkin Muffins

Cinnamon-Streusel Pumpkin Muffins | My Bacon-Wrapped Life

It’s no secret that I absolutely love fall food; I’m going to go ahead and say it’s my favorite food time of the year. And my favorite fall food, hands-down, is pumpkin. I have yet to meet a pumpkin food I didn’t like, from the sweet (pies, breads) to the savory (soups, sauces, pastas).  Basically, as soon as the air turns one little bit chilly, I’m shoving as much pumpkin in my mouth as I possibly can, skinny jeans be damned. Besides, pumpkin has VITAMINS, okay? It’s a fruit (and yes, I just Googled that to make sure).

Granola with Nuts and Dates

One of my favorite foods in the entire world is homemade granola. If you find yourself thinking that sounds weird, or random, or strangely healthy, I hate to break it to ya, but you’ve never had good granola. Good, homemade granola is slightly sweet, wonderfully crunchy, and chock-full of delicious extras – nuts, dried fruit, warm spices, coconut, or pretty much anything else you could think of that would be delicious smothered in a little butter and sugar and baked up to crispy perfection. It’s fake health food at it’s finest, and it’s absolutely delicious served in a big bowl with milk and berries, eaten stranding at the counter over the container by the handful, or my personal favorite, as a topping for Greek yogurt and fruit for a wholly satisfying breakfast that’s quick enough for any workday morning but also indulgent enough for a lazy Saturday.

Banana Chocolate-Chip Pancakes

I’m a big believer in Sunday Funday, whether that means a mimosa or two over a leisurely brunch with friends, watching football all day over a giant bowl of guac, or just simply taking a few hours to watch all that trashy TV on your DVR without, you know, feeling guilty about it. Lately, our Sundays have been seemingly filled with errands/to-do’s/things that make it feel like NOT the weekend. And now that I don’t have Game of Thrones to look forward to on Sunday nights anymore (I’m a nerd, I know) I’ve been craving that little fun-day back in my Sunday. Enter: banana chocolate-chip pancakes.

Breakfast Pizza

Growing up, one of my favorite meals was breakfast for dinner, or as us super-cool kids called it, “b for d.” All my mom (or dad!) would have to do is scramble up some eggs, whip up some toast, and we’d be the happiest campers in the world. B for d still remains a staple in our weekly dinner rotation, and I absolutely love the idea of jazzing it up a little bit. Enter: breakfast pizza. This is a super fancy-pants b for d. It’s also a combination of so many things I love: pizza, crispy bacon, cheesy goodness, and runny eggs.
