Foodie Favorites – March 4, 2015

Best airport food in the world: tortas at Frontera Grill at O’Hare airport in Chicago!

Hey guys! Greetings from sunny (and warm, SO WARM) California! This week has been a crazy whirlwind of starting to learn my way around a new city, massive Target trips, continued Aerobed snoozing, floor picnics for every meal, and learning to accept that I have to walk up a giant hill to get anywhere around here. I love what I’m seeing so far, and I can’t wait to share more! In the meantime, here are this week’s Foodie Favorites.

This chocolate pound cake with bacon bourbon frosting is basically all of my favorite things in one. Is this real life?

This cheese and bacon-stuffed French toast looks so amazing. Sweet/savory/cheesy/bacon-y gets me every time!

My last (sob!) Chicago deep-dish pizza delivery. I’ll be back soon for friends (first) and pizza (close second)!!

Hey guys! I hope you’re having a less hectic week than I am – we are currently in the middle of moving across the country (by that I mean, our stuff is gone and we are living in an empty apartment, only to fly out later this week to another empty apartment) and we’ve been eating on the floor with paper plates and plastic cutlery all week. And sleeping on an Aerobed, shivering with no comforter. I’m trying to be lighthearted and easy-going about it, but I already miss cooking (and, you know, chairs and tables and dressers and stuff). On the bright side, we’ve been using it as an excuse to eat tons of Chipotle and take-out sushi…so it could be worse! Probably because I have no cooking utensils of my own, I’ve been absolutely drooling over all the food in my blog feed this week. Here’s this week (lengthy) Foodie Favorites round-up!

Valentine’s Day breakfast-in-bed by Brad (awww, right?!). Egg sandwiches are his specialty, and I ain’t complainin’ about it.

Helloooo everyone! I hope you’re having a good week and you had a fabulous Valentine’s Day weekend filled with tons of chocolate and wine. We stayed home and cooked (it’s a bit of a tradition) and this year went with a Mediterranean theme – these lamb skewers and tzaziki sauce, and this hummus, along with fresh pita bread. We loved everything, but the tzaziki sauce totally blew us away – SO good! I love having Brad’s help in the kitchen, so it was a perfect Valentine’s Day. Now that we’re back to boring, freezing, dreary old February, let’s look at some pictures of food to cheer us up. Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

Foodie Favorites – February 5, 2015

Tons of Indian food from one of our favorite places in Chicago, Tandoor. Full review to come next week – stay tuned!

Hey guys! How’s your week going? We got hit by a major blizzard over the weekend (5^th largest in Chicago history, woo-hoo!) and yet still made it out for the Super Bowl. If I’m not a real Midwesterner at this point, I give up! Hope you stayed safe (and warm!) in all this crazy winter weather. Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

Afternoon beer just might be the greatest idea ever. Such a classy excuse for day drinking!

I am always on the lookout for new granola recipes to try, and this simple coconut oil granola looks fantastic! I haven’t tried making granola with coconut oil, and I think it’s about time I start.
