Bacon Beer Cheese Dip

categories: Appetizers / Finger Foods, Bacon, Recipes, Savory, Snacks

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.

Farro and Black Bean Burrito Bowls

categories: Mexican, Recipes, Savory, Whole Grains

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.

Bacon, Onion, and Ricotta Frittata

categories: Bacon, Breakfast, Recipes, Savory

I have a life lesson for you that I personally think is best learned as early in life as possible.

If you want to host a brunch and look super fancy and put together and Martha Stewart-y…make a frittata. I mean, just the word sounds fancy! It’s everything you want in a brunch dish – eggs and cheese and delicious fresh veggie things (and bacon, of course). Only you have to know that it’s really just a quiche without the work, a quick sauté and a whisk and a few minutes in the oven. Really, it’s the easiest thing in the entire world. Add a fruit salad and some mimosas and sit back and let the compliments come in!

(The Best) Croque Madame

categories: Breakfast, Recipes, Savory, Whole Grains

You know those mornings when you just NEEEEED an epic breakfast?

Like, 90% of the time, cereal is awesome. Oatmeal is just great. Scrambled eggs = easy. Done. But every so often, Sunday morning rolls around and the usual rotation is just not going to cut it. I need something decadent, ooey-gooey, and super hearty. Usually of the cheesy or chocolaty variety.

This croque madame is for these kinds of mornings.
