Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
I like to think of the weekend as the prime time to make all of the delicious treats for breakfast that I don't normally have time to create Monday through Thursday. When Friday rolls around I head to work pretty early so having a jar of overnight oats in the fridge ready to go is key. I've been eating overnight oats so much (literally for the past four years straight) that I can get so tired of ...
Today marked the day that Chicago received it's first snowfall of the year.

When I started to search for dairy-free alternatives, the one with the largest array of options in the frozen desserts aisle was So Delicious. I started ...

By viewing a few different recipes online such as ones from Just A Taste and Minimalist Baker, I was able to whip up a unique mini falafel recipe.
