Happy December! We’re officially smack dab in the middle of the happiest, coziest, most butter-and-sugar-filled month of the year – and I couldn’t be happier about it. Although I’ll always miss living somewhere that snows during the holidays, the weather in the Bay Area has been semi-cooperating with lots of rain and gloomy days, so I’m feeling fully in the cuddly Christmas spirit!
You know what the most overlooked part of Thanksgiving is?
That’d be Turkey Day breakfast. Talk about getting no love!
I know some people are in the “starve yourself all day to make more room for dinner camp”, and I could not disagree more. I am strongly in the hearty-breakfast camp. We need our energy for turkey-basting and stuffing-making and pie-baking! Also, let’s be real – if I don’t eat breakfast, I’m going to be a total hangry mess, and nobody wants that, right?
Can I go back to last Thursday and eat this all over again, please?
Hey everyone! I missed you last week. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and absolutely ate your faces off. I know we certainly did! We feasted on pretzel bread stuffing, cheesy broccoli casserole, incredible bacon-roasted sweet potatoes, the best pumpkin pie I’ve ever had, and so much more. It was an incredible Thanksgiving! Now, of course, I’m already in full-blown Christmas baking/nesting mode. I waste no time when preparing for my favorite holiday!! Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites.
Pumpkin + pistachio macarons from the most adorable bakery near our apartment!
Hey everyone! Are you all pumped for Halloween? I know I am – tomorrow night the kiddos in our apartment building are coming trick-or-treating, and then we have a very fun Halloween night planned with friends! Obviously we’ll be re-purposing our Oktoberfest gear as Halloween costumes…I mean, why not, right? Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!
This squash toast with ricotta is AMAZING (I’ve had the original before) and I absolutely cannot wait to re-create at home. This just might be dinner this weekend…
