Star of the Green family Christmas dinner. Because this was the last food pic I’ve taken, and also because, HAM!!!
Hey guys! How’s your 2015 going so far? It’s been absolutely freezing in Chicago (the polar vortex is here to stay, apparently), but I AM still recovering from a whole month of nonstop truffles and champagne, so I’ve been craving a weird mix of decadent, comforting food and lighter fare. Foodie Favorites are all over the board this week, so I hope you’re kinda sorta feelin’ the same way?
This Brussels sprouts salad looks winter-y and fantastic while still being totally, well, green and veggie-licious. Brussels and nuts and cheese? This is my kind of salad!
These steak and avocado breakfast burritos look absolutely insane. I love a good breakfast burrito, and these are top-notch!
These Cuban quinoa bowls are just so much goodness in one bowl. Plus, fried bananas for life – they are SO good!
Anyone who’s ever tried Chicago-style deep dish pizza knows that it’s WHAT’S UP. Deep dish is one of my favorite comfort foods in the entire world. I love this super-detailed guide to whipping up a homemade version! It certainly beats the 90-minute waits at every Chicago deep dish place around here.
These chili garlic chicken skewers with greek yogurt dip need to be on my table, stat. Love all of these flavors!
Wouldn’t this chocolate champagne cake make the most perfect Valentine’s Day treat? You can pregame with these bourbon truffles, too.
This mulled wine syrup looks like the best winter ice cream topper ever. Because sometimes, even when it’s a polar vortex, we still need our ice cream. Genius!
I love the crazy-weird flavors going on in these roasted grape and olive crostini. It’s one of those things that sounds strange, but I can just see it being totally roast-y and delicious. I must try these!
Hope you enjoyed this crazy mash-up I’ve accumulated over the past few weeks! Stay warm out there….seriously! XO!
