comment icon 109 more comments I took advantage of the opportunity to eat blissful creamy bacon and pumpkin pasta and snuggle with a pug. Yes, I said snuggle with a pug. I was snug as a bug in a rug with a pug. And a mug. Gahhhh. That sweet wrinkly face gives me a tingly nose and shivers. Sheeeee’s sooooo cuuuuute! I might absolutely do have a puppy crush on her. And you probably already know that I have a hungry girl crush on this pumpkin pasta. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking. Pumpkin in pasta. Um, questionable. Long story short, we need to stop judging our favorite fall vegetable. fruit? …ingredient. How did pumpkin get stereotyped as an exclusively sweet ingredient? It’s so versatile and healthy. And healthy is a good thing this week. Cause come Turkey Thursday, you know what’s goin down. Seconds, thirds, and multiple desserts with whipped cream are what’s goin down. JOY. If you liked this butternut squash mac and cheese with caramelized onions, apples, and bacon (which is pretty much impossible not to like), then this pasta is going to rock.your.socks.off. And it might rock some pounds off, too? That’s a fool-proof diet plan, if you ask me. I love when eating a huge bowl of pasta makes your jeggings fit better. Speaking of jeggings, I’ve been majorly over-wearing them because of their comfy wonderfulness. Help? Have you tried pumpkin in savory dishes? 4.7 from 18 reviews And btw, who wants to see more snogglishly cute pug pictures? I’m trying not to overwhelm you with cuteness all at once, but there’s definitely more where that came from. Get ready.
