BBQ Chicken Bacon Nachos

categories: Appetizers / Finger Foods, Bacon, Meat & Fish, Mexican, Recipes, Savory, Snacks

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.

Flourless Salted Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Cookies

categories: Cookies, Recipes

Happy Labor Day weekend!! Or, Happy #ldw, as it is known on social media. See how hip and cool I am?

No matter how old and far away from my “back to school” days I get, Labor Day will never, ever not feel like the end of a carefree summer and the beginning of a busy, serious Fall. I was a giant nerd as a kid, so there was literally nothing more exciting than back to school shopping at Staples, walking up and down the aisles and buying shiny new everything to kick off the new school year. Over time, my passion drifted from gel pens and Lisa Frank notebooks to TI-89 graphing calculators and sleek Jansports (see above re: nerd), but my excitement level never waned. And even though these Berkeley students I live amongst went back a few weeks ago, the newness is still palpable, and I’m enjoying living that new school year feeling a little more than usual this year, albeit vicariously.

Caramelized Bacon S’mores

categories: Bacon, Chocolate / Candy, Recipes

You didn’t think I was going to let a whole summer go by without s’mores-ing, did you?

Well, I may have slid in just in the nick of time, but I think I made up for lost time. Because this just might be the best, most decadent s’mores creation I’ve ever had. I mean, it’s quite frankly out of control. Inappropriate. Obnoxious. But it was also one of the best things I’ve eaten in a long, long time, so how could I deprive you, my loyal readers, of the ultimate in s’mores goodness? I could never do that to you.

Grilled Peach and Pistachio Stovetop Granola Breakfast Bowls

categories: Breakfast, Fruit, Recipes, Whole Grains

I can just feel the days of fresh peaches lining the grocery store rows slipping away, and I’m holding on with all my might. Don’t leave me, little guys!! But try as I may, they’re going, and I know this just might be my last awesome-peach hurrah of the summer. I’m trying to be cool about it. (Cue dramatic sobbing.)
