Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
I've said it on my blog before how I love vegan food. Some people even ask me if I'm vegan when they first meet me and realize I'm a health foodie. Oh so you like healthy food, you eat primarily vegetables and plant-based meals... no meat for you right? No, not exactly. Despite not being a vegan, it is true that I love dishes that are classified as vegan. Right now I currently have leftover cooked ...
It's no secret that when it's 90º out in the summer, the next best thing to a tub of ice cream in your hands is an iced beverage of some sorts to cool you off. I've always been one to gravitate towards ice water or tea but every now and then, my taste buds need something different.

The other day my roommate was making a burger and by the time she plated it, all I wanted right there and then was some kind of burger.

Since I quit my one job and transferred over to another one, I have my weekends open which I must say is phenomenal. If the real world is like this (working Monday through Friday) with weekends off, I'm loving it. ...
People ask me all the time if I'm vegan and to that I just laugh. I then proceed to explain to them how I used to eat primarily vegetarian and vegan but now I really eat whatever I'm craving. I went for a long time without eating meat and/or dairy but finally decided that putting labels on what you eat is no way to live a fruitful life.
