Foodie Favorites – September 30, 2015

My absolute favorite cocktail right now, from East Bay Spice Company in Berkeley. These babies are dangerously good!

Hey guys! I am more than overdue for a Foodie Favorites post…I can’t believe it’s been four freakin’ weeks! This month has absolutely flown by – in September I’ve been to Los Angeles, Denver, Charlotte, and New York for both wedding fun and work travel. It’s been a blast, but I am excited to be grounded at home for a whole two weeks – and, of course, catch up on Foodie Favorites! Here are my favorites from around the inter-webs lately:

These PB&J sandwich donuts look like basically the most amazing thing in the entire world. I mean…woah. Just woah.

Pumpkin season is finally here!! I am the giddiest about it. I think this pumpkin crumb cake looks like a pretty great place to start, don’t ya think?

Kitchen Sink Summer Farro Salad

categories: Recipes, Salads, Savory, Sides, Vegetarian, Whole Grains

I don’t want to be totally cliché and say the 4^th of July totally snuck up on me and I CAN’T BELIEVE it’s next weekend, but like. There. I said it. It’s true. How is it not-June as of Wednesday?!

Not that I’m complaining. Although the summer always flies by way too fast, I love this time of year – poised right at the beginning of months and months of long, warm, sunny days, the promise of relaxed alfresco meals and lots of ice cream dangling right in front of us. Even in perpetually-sunny California, there’s something about summer that just makes you want to relax, take a deep breath, and just be. And that is always a good thing in my book!

Spicy Sausage, Kale, and Farro-Stuffed Roasted Acorn Squash

categories: Meat & Fish, Recipes, Savory, Whole Grains

This right here is totally my middle-of-Februrary dregs-of-winter love food.

It has so many warm and hearty winter-y things all in one (Spicy sausage! Kale! Whole grains! Squash!) and it’s so comforting and filling and cozy and actually quite healthy. Because we’ve all been sitting around in the cozy indoors on our couches watching movies and drinking wine and eating pizza in our sweatpants for weeks on end, right? And maybe we could all use some healthy comfort food love? (Please, please tell me it’s not just me?!)

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.
