Foodie Favorites – November 19, 2015

foodie favorites - november 19, 2015 // my bacon-wrapped life

Wedding registering (!!!!) requires healthy sustenance (and booze).

Hey everyone! Are you in the full-blown Thanksgiving spirit yet? Even though Thanksgiving totally crept up on me this year, I could not be more excited and am eagerly counting down the days until next week. My mom and I are making these bacon roasted sweet potatoes, my all-time favorite pretzel bread stuffing, my future mother-in-law’s broccoli casserole, and pumpkin pie – so we should certainly have our work cut out for us! Thanksgiving is one of my absolute favorite days of the year, and I definitely feel like I have a lot to be thankful for this year. Let’s dive into the holiday spirit with this week’s Foodie Favorites!

Another incredible stuffing – this fig, herb, and sausage stuffing looks to-die-for. I absolutely love the idea of adding figs – what a perfect naturally sweet touch!

These salted chocolate pecan pie bars are calling to me. I never end up eating pecan pie on Thanksgiving because I love pumpkin pie and often find pecan pie a bit too much after such a big meal. These cute little bars look like the perfect compromise – so I can have my pumpkin pie and eat my pecan pie bars, too!

Hey guys! How’s your 2015 going so far? It’s been absolutely freezing in Chicago (the polar vortex is here to stay, apparently), but I AM still recovering from a whole month of nonstop truffles and champagne, so I’ve been craving a weird mix of decadent, comforting food and lighter fare. Foodie Favorites are all over the board this week, so I hope you’re kinda sorta feelin’ the same way?

This Brussels sprouts salad looks winter-y and fantastic while still being totally, well, green and veggie-licious. Brussels and nuts and cheese? This is my kind of salad!

These steak and avocado breakfast burritos look absolutely insane. I love a good breakfast burrito, and these are top-notch!
