foodie favorites - october 21, 2015 // my bacon-wrapped life

Weird (but delicious) Danish food in the kitschy “mini-Denmark” city of Solvang, CA. Give me all the meatballs and open-faced sandwiches and cabbage!

Hey guys! I’ve missed you – I’ve once again been off traveling and running around like a crazy-woman for both work and fun. Last week, we took a little road trip down the California coast and stopped in Monterey, Carmel, Big Sur, this strange kitschy Danish-themed city called Solvang, and Santa Barbara – it was absolutely amazing! I can’t believe I’ve never done the California coast drive before, and it totally blew us away. I definitely wish I was cruising down the 1 right now instead of being back to reality, but such is life, right?! Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

These vegan pumpkin spice muffins look incredible. These are going on my must-bake list this Fall!

I am craving a big plate of this old school baked ziti like WOAH. It’s not even Fall weather here, but it’s always baked pasta season in my world!

These olive oil brownies with candied bacon and pecans are made for me. Bacon and brownies are a classic combination around here!

Can someone please explain to me why I’ve never thought to make a grilled cheese on pretzel bread? What have I been doing with my life?!

In other brownie news – these nutella peanut butter candy bar brownie tart look so fun and festive for Halloween! Also, nutella AND peanut butter AND brownies AND Halloween candy? This is my happy place, people.

I am so intrigued by this caramelized onion and roasted garlic pasta, which uses greek yogurt instead of cream to make a sauce for the pasta! I need to try this!

Hope you enjoyed this week’s round-up. I’m hoping it gets a little chillier around here at least so I can start making all this Fall comfort food with gusto! Have the best week, everyone. XO!
