Sweet Potato Turkey Chili

sweet potato turkey chili // my bacon-wrapped life

Hey guys! Have you recovered from your Thanksgiving feasts?! My Thursday-evening food coma was particularly vicious this year. I was all, “I’ll never eat again!!”…until I ate literally the exact same plate again for dinner the next day. What can I say? ‘Tis the season for food comas, hangovers, and holiday cheer, amiright?

It’s basically our patriotic duty to do it UP on Thanksgiving (and this indulgent requirement definitely extends throughout the entire weekend, because it’s a long weekend and, uh, LEFTOVERS!). But every single year, without fail, I feel the need to seriously take a little break for a week or two before all the craziness of the holidays sets in once again with holiday parties, cookie swaps, and cheesecake and cheeseballs and cocktails galore. It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but I need to eat some vegetables for a hot sec before the onslaught starts all over again. You feel me?

Huevos Rancheros Pizza

huevos rancheros pizza // my bacon-wrapped lifeI’m not going to lie – I definitely do my best recipe brainstorming as I lay in bed at night, right when I’m about to fall asleep.

Let’s talk beans for a sec. 

I have a strange love for beans. Not that enjoying beans is weird, but when you tell people you LOVE beans? You get some strange looks. Beans aren’t one of those things that you think of when you think of your ultimate-desert-island-favorite-foods, ya know? And I’m here to tell you I think that’s completely unfair.

Quick Chicken Burritos

As much as I love food, most of the things I cook day-to-day during the week, by necessity, have to be able to be made and enjoyed in one hour or less. Cooking makes me extremely happy 99% of the time, but I will be the first to admit that the 1% of the time that it doesn’t almost always involves trying to cook something overly ambitious after getting home from work and yoga at 9pm. This inevitably always results in me rushing around, spilling things, cursing, and generally wondering why I even bothered in the first place. Needless to say, I try to avoid these sorts of unpleasant situations as much as possible.
