Hey guys! Have you recovered from your Thanksgiving feasts?! My Thursday-evening food coma was particularly vicious this year. I was all, “I’ll never eat again!!”…until I ate literally the exact same plate again for dinner the next day. What can I say? ‘Tis the season for food comas, hangovers, and holiday cheer, amiright?

It’s basically our patriotic duty to do it UP on Thanksgiving (and this indulgent requirement definitely extends throughout the entire weekend, because it’s a long weekend and, uh, LEFTOVERS!).

Of course, I was more than happy to greet Brad when he got home – a girl can only watch so much trashy TV before she starts to miss watching football a little teeny tiny bit (never tell him I admitted that). On to this week’s Foodie Favorites!

Hey everyone! Are you all pumped for Halloween? I know I am – tomorrow night the kiddos in our apartment building are coming trick-or-treating, and then we have a very fun Halloween night planned with friends! Obviously we’ll be re-purposing our Oktoberfest gear as Halloween costumes…I mean, why not, right? Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

This squash toast with ricotta is AMAZING (I’ve had the original before) and I absolutely cannot wait to re-create at home. This just might be dinner this weekend…
