Foodie Favorites – January 15, 2015

foodie favorites - january 15, 2015 // my bacon-wrapped life

Sometimes, I cook a bunch of bacon, then cook bread cubes in the leftover bacon grease, then cook brussels sprouts in more bacon grease, then call it dinner. Oops?

Hey guys! How’s your week going? After basically hibernating for the first week of January due to insanely freezing temps, I’ve resumed my usual levels of walking around and it feels surprisingly great! It’s a balmy 15°F after all – totally do-able, right? (Can you even believe I was born in Los Angeles?) Hope you’re keeping warm and braving the winter wherever you are. Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

I want to eat this entire pan of oatmeal cookie baked oatmeal. I love baked oatmeal, and this version looks so homey, comforting, and flavorful!

These spaghetti Bolognese garlic bread boats are basically the only thing I want to eat until it gets warm out again. Obviously the only way to make carbs better is adding more carbs. It’s science!

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.
