Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
This past weekend my friend visited from Michigan and we spent a great time brunching on some of the finest foods in Rogers Park and the Chicago area. During the short two day weekend, we went to Uncommon Ground and Beatrix. At Uncommon Ground, I had the amazing smoked maple Gunthorp Farms chicken hash. It came in a hot skillet with two fried eggs on top of the most tender chicken I have tasted ...
This past week (and the weekend before), I somehow managed to eat relatively good tasting meals and tried to mix up my options. Getting a little of my creative juices flowing. That's another goal for myself which I'm trying to meet: making the food I eat not only prettier but more simple in some ways and more fancy in others. I want to mix up what I eat.

October is officially here! This means I am setting a goal for myself. That is to get cracking on a ton of new and awesome products that I absolutely love.

We can all agree that making pasta is pretty much one of the easiest meals to whip up. I find it pretty funny when college students post pictures in their dorms of ...

I think now I am going to try to do a Weekend Eats post weekly so I can pack more food in and give you a wide variety of what I eat through Friday-Sunday. Although the weekend is not fully over yet (don't let it be over!) and I have two more meals to go, I am going ...
I've been wanting to make a raw cheesecake for a really long time now. Ever since I heard about Beet Jar Juicebar + Takeaway and tasted one of their amazing cheesecakes, I knew I had to give it a try. What I love about raw cheesecakes is that they don't require any bake time (obviously), all of the ingredients are raw and all natural and they come dairy-free! Sounds good to me. Raw cheesecakes ...
