foodie favorites - august 19, 2015 // my bacon-wrapped life

A gigantic pizza from one of my favorite places in all of Chicago, Piece Pizza and Brewery in Wicker Park. We literally stopped here on the way back from the airport – it’s too good!

Hey guys! Happy Wednesday. How’s your week going? As you can tell by my last post, I’m clearly living the rough life over here. After lots of vacay, I am very excited for a few chill weeks at home coming up – I can’t wait to get back in the kitchen! I’m feeling totally inspired by all the gorgeous end-of-summer produce and want to hang onto these long days of easy, fresh food as long as possible. I hope you’re with me! Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites:

This maple bourbon brown butter peach pie is totally swoon-worthy. Fresh peach pie is one of the best parts of summer, and this version is one of the most gorgeous pies I’ve ever seen!

This grilled pineapple and prosciutto salsa is so cool and unique. I mean, if we can put meat in our salsa, we should probably do it.

In other summer-fruit lovin’ news, this strawberry, nectarine, and peach whole-grain buckle looks just about perfect. I love the down-home rustic look and feel – my kind of dessert!

These Italian sausage and red pepper calzones are totally calling to me. Calzones are basically an excuse to eat an entire pizza yourself, people. Why aren’t we all eating more calzones?

I’ve never tried overnight oats before, but this insane-looking jar of peanut butter overnight oats is making me want to run to the kitchen to whip up a batch. So peanut butter-y!

This chickpea curry is definitely my next at-home Indian food cooking endeavor. It looks SO good and actually pretty simple!

Hope you enjoyed this week’s round-up. Enjoy the last few weeks of summer, friends!! XOXO
