Obsessions + Confessions

Time for my current obsessions! Plus any confessions that I must share with you!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I die for short ribs. 

Cancersucks. Love doesn't. 

Is there anything more beautiful than this glorious Oreo Fudge Cheesecake? Nope, nada. 

I'm not usually a meatloaf person, but Buffalo Chicken Meatloaf? Heck yeah!

Chris is the grill master, he can even grill a Thanksgiving turkey!

The most beautiful apple pie I've ever seen. 

Fried chicken-scented candles? Lord have mercy yesssssss. 

Fall will be over soon. So I'm cramming in all things pumpkin while I can! Savory and sweet pumpkin recipes!! Ever since we made these yum-yum Savory Baked Pumpkin Flautas, I have a whole new outlook on the use of pumpkin in recipes!

• No-Bake Mini Pumpkin Cheesecakes 
• Mini Pumpkin Pasta Bake with Crispy Bacon and Fresh Herbs
• Pumpkin Cheesecake Cupcakes
• Honey Pumpkin Biscuits
• Chocolate Pumpkin Peanut Butter Cups
• Pumpkin Naan Pizza with Gruyere & Fresh Herbs

Fall also means sweet potatoes. These Pulled Pork Stuffed Sweet Potatoes look so good and filling enough to be its own meal! 

And these Sweet Potato Fries with Andouille Gravy and Pimento Cheese. Insane.

Thanksgiving is quickly approaching! What are you guys making? How about a Blue Cheese Tart with Cranberry Chutney?

Grad school is no joke. Not only am I always tired, stressed, and have no time for things I enjoy like blogging, I also am making less money because I have to work less at my job, and more at my intern site where I MAKE NO MONEY! What is with this rule that interns don't make money?! Hello, we work our butts off. I feel like I'm working the hardest I have in awhile (ever?) and not getting paid for it majorly sucks. I just keep telling myself this will be over in a year or so and just have to hope that it will all be worth the struggle in the end.

I'm starting a new set of classes tomorrow morning. Yep, Saturday. That's another reason grad school sucks. Classes all day on Saturdays. Saturdays should only be for shopping, relaxing, drinking, and other fun things.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That's all for now!

Hopefully I'll be back soon with some recipes :)

Peace, and bacon grease!
