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!

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!
