kitchen sink summer farro salad // my bacon-wrapped life

I don’t want to be totally cliché and say the 4th 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!

But can’t we have our bacon and our green smoothies, too?

Sangria from a much-overdue girl’s night – aren’t those the best?!

Hey everyone! Are you pumped for the Super Bowl this weekend? (Even if not for the football, at least for the food and beer and Katy Perry.) I am obviously making food, although I haven’t figured out exactly what yet. I’m sure it will involve these Blue Moon cupcakes, at least! In the meantime…here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

How amazing are these bacon shortbread cookies?! These are basically the perfect cookies for me! I wish I was this crafty!

These caramelized onion and gruyere biscuits look like absolute heaven. French onion soup in biscuit form?! Shut the front door!
