Date Milkshakes

date milkshakes // my bacon-wrapped life

Five days from today, nine of my very best girlfriends and I will be descending upon the gorgeous desert town of Palm Springs, CA for a weekend of pool time, floppy hats, and irresponsible amounts of champagne. It’s my bachelorette party, ya’ll!!

I have been looking forward to this weekend ever since Brad and I got engaged. How often do I get to hang out with my best friends all at once for an ENTIRE weekend?! I absolutely can’t wait for a weekend of boozing and eating and lounging with my ladies, so I had to make something to celebrate this momentous occasion: date milkshakes!

Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Energy Bites

peanut butter dark chocolate energy bites // my bacon-wrapped life

World, please meet my New Favorite Snack.

I know, I know, I just had a new favorite snack last week. But I have another one today. Can’t I have both? Who only eats one snack a day, anyways?

Not I.

Anyways, while I am well aware that these peanut butter dark chocolate energy bites will not win any beauty contests, I need you to make them A-S-A-P if you’re into delicious, healthy, chocolate-y, peanut butter-y bites of wholesome and naturally-sweetened goodness. Or just chocolate and peanut butter. That’s cool, too.

Bacon-Wrapped Dates

It’s about time we did this, right?

You know, make something bacon-wrapped. Since it’s the name of the blog and all. While I think there are few things that couldn’t be improved when rolled into a little package and wrapped in bacon, bacon-wrapped dates are the O.G. bacon-wrapped indulgence, and for good reason.

Granola with Nuts and Dates

IMG_0647

One of my favorite foods in the entire world is homemade granola. If you find yourself thinking that sounds weird, or random, or strangely healthy, I hate to break it to ya, but you’ve never had good granola. Good, homemade granola is slightly sweet, wonderfully crunchy, and chock-full of delicious extras – nuts, dried fruit, warm spices, coconut, or pretty much anything else you could think of that would be delicious smothered in a little butter and sugar and baked up to crispy perfection. It’s fake health food at it’s finest, and it’s absolutely delicious served in a big bowl with milk and berries, eaten stranding at the counter over the container by the handful, or my personal favorite, as a topping for Greek yogurt and fruit for a wholly satisfying breakfast that’s quick enough for any workday morning but also indulgent enough for a lazy Saturday.
