apple cider farro with brussels sprouts and dried cranberries // my bacon-wrapped life

I don’t know about you all, but I am fully in the throes of my post-Thanksgiving, pre-Christmas “let’s-take-a-break-from-eating-pie-for-breakfast” period. It’s not a phase that lasts long (I mean, we have Christmas parties starting soon, and if you think I won’t eat my weight in sugar cookies, you are wildly incorrect) but it’s a definite one or two-week period that strikes every year.

It’s the time of year for everything fruity and streusel-y and cool and creamy and, perhaps best of all, EASY – and there ain’t nothin’ wrong with any of that. But I think if we had to choose a winner, the one definitive quintessential summer dessert, it just has to be s’mores.
