Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
Can you believe it's been three weeks since my last blog post? In that time span, I've worked 65+ hours at Whole Foods (winning), locked down a membership with my favorite workout studio (Studio Three) and finally signed up for Uber. Yes, it took me this long but I did it. This month has been very topsy turvy but I'm back and just in time for summer shenanigans. For starters, I can't think of a ...
Today officially marks one month until summer and I'm already dreaming about the endless tacos I'll be eating in my t-shirt dresses, with sunglasses on, guacamole dripping down my face. Honestly, that will be me. It's a bummer my favorite taco place in Chicago (Antique Taco) is located a little over an hour away via the train because their cauliflower, kale and shrimp tacos are #1 in my book. They ...

Whenever I make a recipe on a whim and it turns out so tasty, I instantly call everyone to tell them how they need to try it. By everyone I mean my mom and brother, Jack (the foodies of my family). This is exactly how my Tuesday night went when I made this quick and simple stir-fry with leftover veggies in my fridge. I sat down to watch the news while eating this big plate of heaven drizzled in ...
I remember back in high school when I started trying pasta alternatives, spaghetti squash was just coming onto the scene. This was long before I even knew what a spiralizer was or what zucchini noodles looked like. My mom had this book that we refer to as the "Detox Book" and I honestly don't remember what the heck it's actually called but the recipes are all low carb, filled with nutrient-rich ...
You might think because I'm a foodie I loooove going out to eat but I've got to tell ya something... you're wrong. I would much rather spend my time making food at home, sitting at my kitchen island, talking with roommates and knowing exactly what is on my plate and what it is I'm putting into my body. Sure Chicago has some great healthy restaurants these days but they're by now means any Café ...
