The Ultimate Bacon Burger with Goat Cheese, Fig Jam, and Spicy Porter Mustard

the ultimate bacon burger with goat cheese, fig jam, and spicy porter mustard // my bacon-wrapped life

Guys, it’s been too long since we REALLY did it up with bacon.

I mean, sure, we’ve had some bacon. We’ve eaten lots of ham. Bacon consumption is surely not down in my life in general. But it’s been way too long since we really went whole hog (pun 100% intended) and made a whole meal dedicated to highlighting our beloved bacon.

Foodie Favorites – March 12, 2015

foodie favorites - march 12, 2015 // my bacon-wrapped life

Just casually sippin’ one of my favorite beers outside on a hot and sunny day. Why did I ever leave California again?!

Hey everyone! How’s your week going? This has been a rather hectic week for us…since last Wednesday, we’ve had our furniture delivered (semi-seamlessly), cleaned and assembled the entire apartment, and done more physical box-lifting activity than I’d like to do in my entire life. (Seriously – Never. Moving. Ever. Again.) I also started my new job and we’ve had Brad’s mom staying with us, so it’s been very busy but very fun! Better to be busy than bored, right?! Anyways, here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

Quick Berkeley faves so far – we’ve been doing a lot of eating at home, but we did go out to Eureka and Jupiter. Both had seriously awesome beer menus and excellent food, so I’m loving what I’m seeing so far! At Eureka, I got one of the best burgers I’ve ever had in my life – I won’t tell you what it is, because I have on my to-do list to re-create for the blog, but I will say you should get excited! (Hint: there will be bacon.)

Foodie Favorites – March 4, 2015

foodie favorites - march 4, 2015 // my bacon-wrapped lifeBest airport food in the world: tortas at Frontera Grill at O’Hare airport in Chicago! 

Hey guys! Greetings from sunny (and warm, SO WARM) California! This week has been a crazy whirlwind of starting to learn my way around a new city, massive Target trips, continued Aerobed snoozing, floor picnics for every meal, and learning to accept that I have to walk up a giant hill to get anywhere around here. I love what I’m seeing so far, and I can’t wait to share more! In the meantime, here are this week’s Foodie Favorites.

This chocolate pound cake with bacon bourbon frosting is basically all of my favorite things in one. Is this real life?

This cheese and bacon-stuffed French toast looks so amazing. Sweet/savory/cheesy/bacon-y gets me every time!
