Bacon Beer Cheese Dip

I’m gonna go ahead and say what I know you’re all thinking.

It’s something along the lines of, “Seriously Meg, we’re THREE WEEKS into football season and you haven’t even made ONE game day-themed recipe?!” I know, I know. I’ve failed you as a food blogger. I’ve been so distracted lately by bacon fried rice and pumpkin everything that I haven’t even paid tribute to one of the greatest parts of Fall, the Great American Pastime: stuffing your face with creamy cheesy things in the middle of the day every Sunday watching football!

Luckily, I think I’ve made up for being a little late to the game (pun totally intended) today. Because I have three little words for you:

bacon + beer + cheese

I mean…it’s all 3 major football food groups, people. We can’t get any better than this.

A “start-drinking-before-noon” kind of big deal. I mean, we dye an entire river green. You just gotta do it.

It may be more than a week before the actual day, but in food blogger world, we always celebrate early. So welcome to St. Patrick’s Day WEEK up in here. I ate and drank copious amounts of chocolate and beer this weekend FOR YOU. You’re welcome!

Blue Moon Cupcakes

categories: Cakes and Cupcakes, Recipes

Today is part two of our Super Bowl food series! It’s also the tail end of Meg and Brad’s Moving Weekend Extravaganza. Yeah, that’s right, we no longer live in a teensy tiny studio apartment. In our new place, there are ROOMS. With different PURPOSES. I can’t even talk about the additional counter space in the kitchen. I’m getting giddy just thinking about it. Anyways, the point is that as I’m writing this, I’m sitting on a couch in the middle of our new living room surrounded by a million errant cords and stacks of books and mounds of cardboard boxes that are just waiting to be dealt with, and I’m ignoring all of it to talk about Blue Moon cupcakes.
