In the final week of my “Oktoberfest training”!

Hey everyone! I cannot believe I’m saying this, but after over a year of planning, it’s finally time for our big trip to Germany to visit Brad’s parents and go to Oktoberfest! We leave this Friday for a whole week of vacay. I’ve been looking forward to this trip for months, and I absolutely am giddy with the idea of a whole week of bratwursts, German beer, castle sight-seeing, and family time. Don’t worry, though – I have two posts planned for next week, so barring any internet issues, I’ll be right here the whole time! No promises whether it’s before or after a few beers, though… 😀

On to this week’s Foodie Favorites!

This crazy sweet and salty furikake kettle corn is so incredibly imaginative. It’s an insane combination of ingredients, but you can’t go wrong with any of them! I can’t wait to try this for a super special movie night.

I’ve seen a million and one recipes for pumpkin cake, but sometimes the simplest is the one that stands out the most. This straightforward pumpkin cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting is making me drool – I mean, how good does this look?! 

I’ve been craving a good Fall pasta, and spicy orecchiette with squash and hazelnuts looks like it would fit the bill perfectly. So pretty!

This vegan Bangkok peanut ice cream looks so weird but so good. I love sweet and savory anything, and bringing a little spiciness to ice cream is such a good idea! I need this in my life.

I’m all about this spicy edamame. The sushi place down the street from us has the exact same thing on the menu, and we get it every time we go. Now I can make it at home and that is definitely a good thing!

These vanilla bean fig scones are unbelievably gorgeous. Figs just make everything more beautiful, amiright?

Hope you enjoyed this week’s Foodie Favorites! I’ll see ya next week when I’m halfway across the world!

Share the love!
