Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
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 ...
I've been meaning to try the whole "baked donuts" thing for quite some time. There are so many cool donut shops in the Chicago area (one of the most popular being Glazed & Infused) that I have yet to try but hopefully will in the next coming months.

I often find myself taking pictures of my recipes but never remembering the measurements of the ingredients I used. However, these few recipes are super ...
When I am in a hurry, smoothie bowls are the easiest things to make. However, I like getting in my protein and making sure they have a whole bunch of different nutrients in them.

Last night I saw on Instagram a delicious ...
A few months ago I stumbled across one of my favorite foodie blogs, Oh She Glows. Check it out because Angela Liddon is fabulous. Not only do her pictures make me drool and want everything she makes but she is definitely inspiring on how to live a plant-based life and still be very healthy. I'm not a huge fan of cookbooks because I believe Pinterest has all of the recipes you need yet I had heard ...
