Carnitas Pizza

carnitas pizza // my bacon-wrapped life It’s time for some FOOTBALL food!!

Yes, I know I’m a little late. But we’ve been traveling for the first few weekends of the season, so this is our first proper lazy Sunday posted up in front of Redzone all day – just the way I like it! Of course, my favorite part of football (besides fantasy football, which I surprised even myself by being alarmingly obsessed with) is all the amazing FOOD you have a built-in excuse to eat while you park yourself in front of the couch every Sunday. Now that I’ve officially married into a Steelers family, I’m taking my responsibilities as a Lookabaugh very seriously this football season.

German-Style Beer Brats

categories: Burgers and Sandwiches, Meat & Fish, Recipes, Savory

At this time last year, we were dressed up in our dirndls and leiderhosen, drinking liters and liters of beer and chowing down on bratwursts, spaetzle, schnitzel, and strudel. It was the absolute best.

This year, I’m on my couch in our little apartment-cave, getting slightly drunk by myself in the middle of the day because I am drinking the gigantic beer I used as a prop in these photos. I think this would be considered a significant downgrade. At least there’s still beer?

BBQ Chicken Bacon Nachos

Hellooooo first football Sunday of the year!!

This is the kind of thing where, if I had my shit together, I would have posted this nacho beauty last weekend so you could make it for the first football Sunday of the year. But since last weekend I was busy wedding dress shopping (!!!) and making cookies, I hope you’ll forgive me. Besides, we have an entire glorious five months of football Sundays to look forward to, so I think we’re still cool.

Besides, eating an entire tray of BBQ chicken bacon nachos was not my least favorite way to spend the first football Sunday of the year. In fact, one might say it was THE BEST WAY EVER to spend the first football Sunday of the year. One might definitely say that.

Spicy Sausage, Kale, and Farro-Stuffed Roasted Acorn Squash

categories: Meat & Fish, Recipes, Savory, Whole Grains

This right here is totally my middle-of-Februrary dregs-of-winter love food.

It has so many warm and hearty winter-y things all in one (Spicy sausage! Kale! Whole grains! Squash!) and it’s so comforting and filling and cozy and actually quite healthy. Because we’ve all been sitting around in the cozy indoors on our couches watching movies and drinking wine and eating pizza in our sweatpants for weeks on end, right? And maybe we could all use some healthy comfort food love? (Please, please tell me it’s not just me?!)
