Foodie Favorites – September 24, 2014

foodie favorites - september 24, 2014 // my bacon-wrapped lifeIn the final week of my “Oktoberfest training”!

Hey everyone! I cannot believe I’m saying this, but after over a year of planning, it’s finally time for our big trip to Germany to visit Brad’s parents and go to Oktoberfest! We leave this Friday for a whole week of vacay. I’ve been looking forward to this trip for months, and I absolutely am giddy with the idea of a whole week of bratwursts, German beer, castle sight-seeing, and family time. Don’t worry, though – I have two posts planned for next week, so barring any internet issues, I’ll be right here the whole time! No promises whether it’s before or after a few beers, though… 😀

On to this week’s Foodie Favorites!

Butternut Squash and Bacon Pizza

Butternut Squash and Bacon Pizza | My Bacon-Wrapped Life

This is my absolute perfect winter pizza.

And by that I mean it’s my perfect how-is-it-still-zero-degrees-on-March-2nd pizza.

I can’t look ahead to asparagus and artichokes and other signs of spring. I can’t think about bathing suits or sunshine or Vitamin D. It’s just too painful. Let’s just hang out here, in our PJs in the middle of the day (because obviously we haven’t been outside yet), gazing out of our snow-filled windows and eating butternut squash and bacon pizza. This is my happy place right now.
