Foodie Favorites – March 18, 2015

foodie favorites - march 18, 2015 // my bacon-wrapped life

I know I always do a food picture, but I couldn’t resist – this is a totally un-edited picture of the view from our new running path. WHAT!!! 

Hey guys! How’s your week going? Did you do anything for St. Patrick’s Day? We were lame/exhausted after the past few weeks of moving and settling in, and there wasn’t really as much spirit here as I’ve grown accustomed to in Chicago, so we didn’t really do anything (besides drink beer, of course). It certainly made me miss Chicago, and my Foodie Favorites this week certainly reflect that! I mean, we can eat Guinness and whisky all year, right? I say yes! Here are this week’s Foodie Favorites.

I love the idea of making your own Milano cookies. What a fun project (and totally applicable all year, amiright?!)

More St. Patrick’s Day goodies – I’m loving this classic Irish soda bread. Irish soda bread sounds so humble and simple, but it’s soooooo good with some butta and jam. Must make!

Matcha White Chocolate Walnut Blondies

This is my super-trendy matcha-loaded St. Patrick’s Day gift to you.

Have you guys heard of matcha powder? It’s basically green tea ground up into a powder that can be thrown into smoothies, baked goods, or whatever else you want. And it also doubles as a handy-dandy natural green food dye for the greatest green-food holiday of the year, which just HAPPENS to be coming up next week!!

Chocolate Stout Bread

I don’t know about where you live, but ‘round these parts, St. Patrick’s Day is a pretty big deal.

A “start-drinking-before-noon” kind of big deal.  I mean, we dye an entire river green. You just gotta do it. 

It may be more than a week before the actual day, but in food blogger world, we always celebrate early. So welcome to St. Patrick’s Day WEEK up in here. I ate and drank copious amounts of chocolate and beer this weekend FOR YOU. You’re welcome!
