Foodie Favorites – April 6, 2016

foodie favorites - april 6, 2016 // my bacon-wrapped life

The most amazing fried chicken at Hopscotch in Oakland – my new favorite place, and just a few minutes’ walk from our new apartment! This could be bad…

Hey everyone! How’s your week going? As I mentioned in Sunday’s post, we are moving in a few weeks, so weekends for the next month or so are going to be filled with packing, moving, and unpacking! We are so, so excited for our new place though, so hopefully it will all be worth it. Naturally, I’m distracting myself from the 9 million things I have to do by looking at pictures of food – care to join me?? Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

This homemade chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream is giving me all the feels. I want a pint of this with one spoon, stat!

Creamy farro with white beans and kale is so right up my dinner alley. I want to try this creamy technique!

A much-needed brunch break in the middle of the day on a big day of apartment hunting! Serpentine in Dogpatch totally hit the spot.

Hey guys! How’s your week going? We had the absolute best weekend – my mom and Brad’s parents came to visit for Brad’s graduation, and we spent the whole weekend eating and drinking our way around the Bay Area. What could be better?? I’m a little sad that our fun weekend is over and we’re back to regular old real life, where we actually have to eat healthy most of the time and drink in moderation. Oh well, that’s what Foodie Favorites are for, right?! Here is this week’s round-up!

This shredded chicken curry is going on my to-make list immediately. It looks so darn good!!

This tagalong-inspired chocolate peanut butter tart is speaking to my soul. So decadent and peanut butter-y!

Classic, no frills Dreyer’s mint chocolate chip with a plastic spoon. Just the best!

Hi guys! How’s your week going? We’ve been having some seriously California winter-weather here – lots of rain and temps actually below 50 (gasp!!) so we haven’t been up to too much besides LOTS of couch time. Which sometimes is just the best, right?! Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

St. Patrick’s Day is coming up, and this slow cooker corned beef and cabbage looks like the perfect accompaniment to fudgy chocolate stout brownies!

These peanut butter and jelly fudge brownies look unbelievable. I just want to peanut-butter-and-jelly-fy everything.

The cutest sign we stumbled upon in Berkeley on an impromptu walk on a gorgeous February day! I could not agree more.

Hey everyone! How’s your week going? I absolutely cannot wait for this weekend – we are heading down to LA tomorrow for a weekend trip to Santa Barbara with my parents, Brad’s sister, and her boyfriend to visit our wedding venue and do our wedding food tasting!! This is clearly the best part of being engaged, so I am over the moon and can’t wait to try all the food, drink all the wine, and eat all the cake. I hope you have a delicious weekend to look forward to as well! In the meantime, let’s keep ourselves food-happy with this week’s Foodie Favorites!

These sausage kale French bread pizzas need to make an appearance in my life ASAP. So many of my favorite things!!

Slow cooker cannellini bean soup is so winter-perfect. I’m craving it even here in sunny California!
