Butternut Squash and Bacon Pizza | My Bacon-Wrapped Life

This is my absolute perfect winter pizza.

And by that I mean it’s my perfect how-is-it-still-zero-degrees-on-March-2nd pizza.

I can’t look ahead to asparagus and artichokes and other signs of spring. I can’t think about bathing suits or sunshine or Vitamin D. It’s just too painful. Let’s just hang out here, in our PJs in the middle of the day (because obviously we haven’t been outside yet), gazing out of our snow-filled windows and eating butternut squash and bacon pizza.

Whole grains just add a whole new flavor profile, one that’s rich and nutty and deep and chewy and delicious, and I love exploring all the ways out there in the world to make them taste gourmet and make you completely forget how good for you they are.

Thai Chicken Quinoa Bowls | My Bacon-Wrapped Life

I’m still on this wholesome-but-totally-hearty-and-delicious kick, and it seems like most of the Internet is on board, too. As I mentioned, I’m not really into New Year’s Resolutions because I think it’s best to just eat in moderation all of the time, but after an entire month+ of pure decadence over the holidays, my body is still like, “Yo Megan, cool it on the mac n’ cheese and bread pudding, okay?” Besides, it’s fun trying to make good-for-you ingredients taste awesome and not leave you hungry in 45 minutes.
