Foodie Favorites – March 12, 2015

foodie favorites - march 12, 2015 // my bacon-wrapped life

Just casually sippin’ one of my favorite beers outside on a hot and sunny day. Why did I ever leave California again?!

Hey everyone! How’s your week going? This has been a rather hectic week for us…since last Wednesday, we’ve had our furniture delivered (semi-seamlessly), cleaned and assembled the entire apartment, and done more physical box-lifting activity than I’d like to do in my entire life. (Seriously – Never. Moving. Ever. Again.) I also started my new job and we’ve had Brad’s mom staying with us, so it’s been very busy but very fun! Better to be busy than bored, right?! Anyways, here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

Quick Berkeley faves so far – we’ve been doing a lot of eating at home, but we did go out to Eureka and Jupiter. Both had seriously awesome beer menus and excellent food, so I’m loving what I’m seeing so far! At Eureka, I got one of the best burgers I’ve ever had in my life – I won’t tell you what it is, because I have on my to-do list to re-create for the blog, but I will say you should get excited! (Hint: there will be bacon.)

Foodie Favorites – January 7, 2015

 Star of the Green family Christmas dinner. Because this was the last food pic I’ve  taken, and also because, HAM!!!

Hey guys! How’s your 2015 going so far? It’s been absolutely freezing in Chicago (the polar vortex is here to stay, apparently), but I AM still recovering from a whole month of nonstop truffles and champagne, so I’ve been craving a weird mix of decadent, comforting food and lighter fare. Foodie Favorites are all over the board this week, so I hope you’re kinda sorta feelin’ the same way?

This Brussels sprouts salad looks winter-y and fantastic while still being totally, well, green and veggie-licious. Brussels and nuts and cheese? This is my kind of salad!

These steak and avocado breakfast burritos look absolutely insane. I love a good breakfast burrito, and these are top-notch!
