It totally feels like Fall now, right? I mean, it IS officially Fall. We can’t deny it anymore. And I am embracing the cozy vibes in full force and lo-ving it.

Let’s be real here. Is there anything better than a warm and comforting breakfast on a cold day? Absolutely positively not, you say!

Luckily, I think I’ve made up for being a little late to the game (pun totally intended) today. Because I have three little words for you:

bacon + beer + cheese

I mean…it’s all 3 major football food groups, people. We can’t get any better than this.

Today is a momentous occasion. It’s the First Pumpkin Recipe of the Year Day!!

Get on board, people. We celebrate these kind of things around here.

I’m a total pumpkin junkie, and this is the time of the year to do it all up all the time and be totally unapologetic about it. It’s not even that cold yet, but I couldn’t wait to start shoving some warm, cinnamon-y pumpkin goods in my face. And I’m here to tell ya, you should probably follow suit. Stat.

edamame bacon fried rice // my bacon-wrapped lifeI’m still having trouble believing it’s September, and the incredibly summer-y hot and stormy weather we’ve been having lately isn’t helping things one bit. But somehow it is, and the days keep creeping by so I’m just going to roll with it. From this point on, it’s warm and comforting Fall food all day every day, people. Get pumped!
