Foodie Favorites – September 10, 2014

foodie favorites - september 10, 2014 // my bacon-wrapped life

Serious nacho business for the first football Sunday of the year!

Hey guys! Hope you’re having a good week. We’ve continued to have pretty great weather here (well, besides today), and we’re just enjoying a lazy end to the Chicago summer before a few hectic travel weeks coming up! Here are the things that are inspiring me in the kitchen this week:

This marbled matcha pound cake is absolutely stunning. I’ve never cooked with matcha powder before, but I can’t imagine a better inspiration to start!

Fingers crossed for me at the Apple Store this weekend! Gah. In much happier and less hair-pulling-out-inducing news, here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

Hey everyone – happy how-the-hell-is-it-almost September! Yeah, it’s a theme this week. We’re mixing and matching fall and summer stuff here because I just can’t accept it yet. Let’s live in it and embrace the late summer weirdness!

First up this week: it’s not too late for s’mores, and these 15 creative s’mores ideas are giving me some epic ideas for using up the grahams and marshmallows I have leftover from these babies. Elvis + speculoos versions for the win!

foodie favorites - august 20, 2014 // my bacon-wrapped lifeOh yes, there was some serious brunching this weekend

Hey guys! How has your week been going? I seriously cannot believe how fast August is flying by…that’s what happens when you have visitors 3 weekends in a row! Not that I’m complaining about lots of food and sightseeing and fam time, of course. Now on to this week’s Foodie Favorites!
