Elvis Banana Bread

elvis banana bread // my bacon-wrapped life

Okay, so this is basically the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever made in my entire life.

And I am not sorry about it one little teeny tiny bit.

At least I have the kale part.

Bourbon Pecan Chocolate Truffles

You know when a food blogger posts two boozy recipes in a row, there’s something going on that’s worthy of some serious celebration. Well, I promise I won’t disappoint on that front. Not only is today my 25th birthday, not only is New Year’s Eve in just a few short days, not only is it the happiest and most relaxing and coziest time of the year…

But also last week Brad asked me to marry him, and I said yes.
