Foodie Favorites – November 5, 2015

Pumpkin beer and the most epic pumpkin cake for my future sister-in-law Tara’s birthday last week. What, you don’t pair beer with your desserts too?

Hey guys! How’s your November going so far? It has finally cooled down a little bit in the Bay Area (we’re talking actual 50’s!!), and the falling temps combined with the whole dark-at-5 thing has me totally feeling the Fall love – FINALLY! I can’t wait to make chili and snuggle up with some wine and a movie and do it all up. I hope you’re embracing some Fall coziness, too. Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

This creamy pumpkin spaghetti is going on my to-make list ASAP. It looks cozy yet healthy and hearty at the same time!

I wouldn’t trust myself around these epic double dark chocolate peanut butter cup cookies. How incredible do those look?!

Foodie Favorites – September 30, 2015

categories: Foodie Favorites

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?

Pumpkin + pistachio macarons from the most adorable bakery near our apartment!

Hey everyone! Are you all pumped for Halloween? I know I am – tomorrow night the kiddos in our apartment building are coming trick-or-treating, and then we have a very fun Halloween night planned with friends! Obviously we’ll be re-purposing our Oktoberfest gear as Halloween costumes…I mean, why not, right? Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites!

This squash toast with ricotta is AMAZING (I’ve had the original before) and I absolutely cannot wait to re-create at home. This just might be dinner this weekend…

Gooey Pumpkin Cake with Bourbon Vanilla Bean Whipped Cream

categories: Cakes and Cupcakes, Recipes

Today is Halloween part deux, coming at you in the form of a slice of ooey-gooey spiced pumpkin cake and a big ol’ dollop of bourbon vanilla bean whipped cream.

I mean, is there any better way to do it?

This pumpkin cake also has the double distinction of being Brad’s sister Tara’s favorite birthday cake. Her birthday’s coming up this week, so not only are we celebrating Halloween, but also HAPPY BIRTHDAY TARA! I wish gooey pumpkin cake tasted as good with the eyes as it does with the mouf.
