Phew. I don’t know about you guys, but this weekend was a BIG eating weekend. And a big beer-drinking weekend. And a big happy-times-outside-not-too-productive weekend. It was totally awesome and exactly how a holiday weekend is supposed to be, but as always after a vacation or holiday, I am feeling greatly in need of a few days that don’t involve stuffing my face with enormous oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. We all need a few of those days every now and then, even those of us (ahem) who write food blogs about bacon. It’s all about the balance here.

My perfect Sunday Funday: making breakfast pizza and drinking wine with good friends!
I’m losing it over these vegan sticky buns. What is up with me and vegan baked goods lately? I don’t even know who I am anymore.
This tomato, peach, and avocado bruschetta is everything good about summer: fresh produce and easy livin’. I can’t wait to whip up variations of this toasty dish all summer long.
Bacon-y Broccoli Salad
Welcome to Part 2 of our super fabulous 4th of July party food series! Last week, I shared a freakin’ amazing almond streusel-topped blueberry galette that is seriously one of my favorite summer desserts of all time. Today, we’re going savory with this super loaded bacon-y broccoli salad. Because it’s not a national holiday if there’s no bacon involved! At least that’s the rule in our house.

Epic ice cream cones (and my best friend/ice cream model Kate) at Nancy’s in New Buffalo, MI
Hey everyone! Hope you’re having a great week. I had an awesome weekend eating all the things and drinking lots of wine with my girlfriends – we rented a house by the lake in New Buffalo, MI. Eating highlights included: spicy sriracha chex mix in the car, rooftop drinks and eats at The Stray Dog, serious scoops at Nancy’s ice cream, and our homemade bacon and roasted asparagus risotto. Oh, and s’mores. So many s’mores. It was the best!
