Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
You can't deny the fact that a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is the ultimate comfort food. When you're lazy and need a quick lunch with a cold glass of (almond) milk, some peanut butter, fresh jam (or melted berries) and sprouted bread can't get you down. However, sometimes you want to mix things up. Something cool and refreshing, a little on the sweet side, a protein pick-me-up. That's when I ...
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.

Another week flying by where I eat a total random conglomeration of meals that are usually pretty similar and also a tad bit random. Since I do still have a meal plan at my school I try to steal as many veggies as possible to roast or use in stir-fries to maximize my costs elsewhere.

And if you ...

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 haven't posted in 10 days and that is when I say I need to get back on my food posting game. School has been very busy and chaotic where I rarely get a chance to post anything, let alone have the time to take pictures of everything I eat but I'll get back on the grind soon enough!
