Foodie Favorites – September 2, 2015

foodie favorites - september 2, 2015 // my bacon-wrapped life

My favorite appetizer, the “lollipop corndogs”, at our go-to burger place in Berkeley (home of this beauty). Totally appropriate thing to eat before a giant burger, yes?

Hey guys! Holy wow – I can’t believe that I just typed “September” up there! It feels so weird for it to be September and still feel so relentlessly hot and sunny and summer-y. The Bay Area typically has a pretty strong Indian summer, and this summer it’s basically been an insanely-freakin-hot normal summer, so I’m not expecting it to cool down anytime soon. That doesn’t mean I’m not super excited for Fall recipes though – you know I’ll be the gal cooking up some pumpkin in my steaming air conditioning-less apartment. No shame! But I’m not (quite) ready for that yet, so let’s enjoy some more summer food – here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

This summer skillet gnocchi looks like the perfect summer dinner. I’m totally craving that toasty corn and that pillowy gnocchi!

Perfect summer cocktail, anyone? This fig and bourbon summer smash looks amazing! I LOVE the idea of pairing sweet figs and bourbon. I might have to bust out our cocktail shaker at home to try this one!

Brownie Tart with Salted Caramel Bacon Topping

And in a blink of an eye, it’s that time of year again. Guys, this week is my two-year blogiversary!

It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating one year of bacon and lovin’ with this salted caramel bacon ice cream pie. I mean seriously. How was that one year ago?!

So while I can’t believe it’s been two years that we’ve been hangin’ out in this here corner of the internet, I definitely knew we’d be in need of some major celebration. As you probably know by now, in my book, that usually takes the form of an ultra-decadent sweet-and-salty bacon dessert. Also, it’s Father’s Day! If meat in a dessert doesn’t scream “Dad’s day”, I don’t know what does. I know my super sweet-tooth (and bacon-tooth?) Dad would agree!

Sangria from a much-overdue girl’s night – aren’t those the best?!

Hey everyone! Are you pumped for the Super Bowl this weekend? (Even if not for the football, at least for the food and beer and Katy Perry.) I am obviously making food, although I haven’t figured out exactly what yet. I’m sure it will involve these Blue Moon cupcakes, at least! In the meantime…here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

How amazing are these bacon shortbread cookies?! These are basically the perfect cookies for me! I wish I was this crafty!

These caramelized onion and gruyere biscuits look like absolute heaven. French onion soup in biscuit form?! Shut the front door!

Foodie Favorites – October 8, 2014

Halfway through our first beers at Oktoberfest! 

Hi everyone! I hope you’ve had a great couple of weeks. We are currently recuperating from an incredible trip to Germany last week – more pictures to come next week! In the meantime, I have lots of links for you from my week off. Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

First and most importantly, these beer-cooked bratwursts are bringing me riiiiiight back to Bavaria. But really, can we go back now?

These homemade apple fritters look ah-mazing. Undeniably labor-intensive, but so worth it! Stunning.
