Foodie Favorites – January 28, 2015

Sangria from a much-overdue girl’s night – aren’t those the best?!

Hey everyone! Are you pumped for the Super Bowl this weekend? (Even if not for the football, at least for the food and beer and Katy Perry.) I am obviously making food, although I haven’t figured out exactly what yet. I’m sure it will involve these Blue Moon cupcakes, at least! In the meantime…here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

How amazing are these bacon shortbread cookies?! These are basically the perfect cookies for me! I wish I was this crafty!

These caramelized onion and gruyere biscuits look like absolute heaven. French onion soup in biscuit form?! Shut the front door!

Foodie Favorites – January 21, 2015

Serious brunch at the Original Pancake House in Chicago. I can never resist a good greasy skillet!

Happy Wednesday, people! How’s your week going? I had a very productive “single lady” weekend while Brad visited his friend Dave in Madison. I caught up with girlfriends, watched way too much Millionaire Matchmaker, and drank tons of wine – I couldn’t have asked for a better girly weekend! 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!

Foodie Favorites – January 15, 2015

Sometimes, I cook a bunch of bacon, then cook bread cubes in the leftover bacon grease, then cook brussels sprouts in more bacon grease, then call it dinner. Oops?

Hey guys! How’s your week going? After basically hibernating for the first week of January due to insanely freezing temps, I’ve resumed my usual levels of walking around and it feels surprisingly great! It’s a balmy 15°F after all – totally do-able, right? (Can you even believe I was born in Los Angeles?) Hope you’re keeping warm and braving the winter wherever you are. Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

I want to eat this entire pan of oatmeal cookie baked oatmeal. I love baked oatmeal, and this version looks so homey, comforting, and flavorful!

These spaghetti Bolognese garlic bread boats are basically the only thing I want to eat until it gets warm out again. Obviously the only way to make carbs better is adding more carbs. It’s science!

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!
