Sriracha Caramel Corn

GUYS. It’s here. The best time of the year!!!!

No, not Christmas. Not QUITE. But it’s full-blown, no-holds-barred, decorate the Christmas tree and listen to obnoxious pop versions of classic Christmas songs and bake your face off season, and to me, that’s almost as fun as the real thing. Seriously, nothing makes me happier than spending days upon days making homemade Christmas gifts for the people I love and packaging them up all pretty. And not eating ANY of them myself, of course. Never!

Dark Chocolate Coconut Quinoa Granola

categories: Breakfast, Recipes, Snacks, Whole Grains

Guys. It’s November. NOVEMBER! The month of first snows and Thanksgiving and the beginnings of holiday shopping and Christmas music. I’m getting all excited just thinking about it.

I, for one, love the holidays. (I don’t do Christmas music until after Thanksgiving though. THEN it’s game on, All-I-Want-for-Christmas-is-You style allllll the way until December 25, yo.) In every other way, I am happy to start celebrating as soon as it’s socially acceptable, and November 2 = totally, totally acceptable. Bring. It. On.

White Bean Pumpkin Hummus

Sometimes, with all the pumpkin pie and pumpkin cake and pumpkin muffins out there in the world, it’s pretty easy to forget that pumpkin is…a vegetable (well, it’s technically a fruit, but you know what I mean). You know, like a healthy thing with nutrients. That can be used in other ways besides being covered up with butter and sugar. I know, CRAZY, right?

Bacon Beer Cheese Dip

categories: Appetizers / Finger Foods, Bacon, Recipes, Savory, Snacks

I’m gonna go ahead and say what I know you’re all thinking.

It’s something along the lines of, “Seriously Meg, we’re THREE WEEKS into football season and you haven’t even made ONE game day-themed recipe?!” I know, I know. I’ve failed you as a food blogger. I’ve been so distracted lately by bacon fried rice and pumpkin everything that I haven’t even paid tribute to one of the greatest parts of Fall, the Great American Pastime: stuffing your face with creamy cheesy things in the middle of the day every Sunday watching football!

Luckily, I think I’ve made up for being a little late to the game (pun totally intended) today. Because I have three little words for you:

bacon + beer + cheese

I mean…it’s all 3 major football food groups, people. We can’t get any better than this.
