Foodie Favorites – January 28, 2015

foodie favorites - january 28, 2015 // my bacon-wrapped life

Sangria from a much-overdue girl’s night – aren’t those the best?!

Hey everyone! Are you pumped for the Super Bowl this weekend? (Even if not for the football, at least for the food and beer and Katy Perry.) I am obviously making food, although I haven’t figured out exactly what yet. I’m sure it will involve these Blue Moon cupcakes, at least! In the meantime…here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

How amazing are these bacon shortbread cookies?! These are basically the perfect cookies for me! I wish I was this crafty!

These caramelized onion and gruyere biscuits look like absolute heaven. French onion soup in biscuit form?! Shut the front door!

You know when a food blogger posts two boozy recipes in a row, there’s something going on that’s worthy of some serious celebration. Well, I promise I won’t disappoint on that front. Not only is today my 25th birthday, not only is New Year’s Eve in just a few short days, not only is it the happiest and most relaxing and coziest time of the year…

But also last week Brad asked me to marry him, and I said yes.

White Bean Pumpkin Hummus

Sometimes, with all the pumpkin pie and pumpkin cake and pumpkin muffins out there in the world, it’s pretty easy to forget that pumpkin is…a vegetable (well, it’s technically a fruit, but you know what I mean). You know, like a healthy thing with nutrients. That can be used in other ways besides being covered up with butter and sugar. I know, CRAZY, right?
