Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
From flying back to Chicago from Kansas last Tuesday, dealing with numerous flight delays and getting back into the swing of a three-day school week, I ended up not going to Whole Foods or Trader Joe's once. Very proud of myself as I pretty much live through those stores weekly in order to get my odds and ends for the week. Almond milk, snacks, veggie burgers, etc. Thankfully, my mom sent me a ...
For my fall break four day vacation, I planned a few weeks back to go to Kansas to visit my mom. When you think of Kansas, most people imagine The Wizard of Oz, tornadoes and houses in the middle of fields. Usually people from Kansas tell you they live in a populated town such as Kansas City. Yet where my mom lives really is a scene out of The Wizard of Oz. However, we spent Saturday and Sunday ...
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.

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 ...
This past summer I tried doing a "What I Ate Wednesday" but it kind of failed miserably due to the fact I was always busy or forgot. 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 ...
Before coming to Chicago for school, I had a list of restaurants (vegan and vegetarian friendly) that I was waiting to try. Some of them are still lingering on a Post-It note on my computer because they're quite a hike away but the one that is always the closest and quickest to eat at is Native Foods Café.
