Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
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 ...
As my quest for new healthy eateries in Chicago continues on, I’ve been meaning to try more places that accommodate both vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

I have been there a few times now but that was my first time attending the Raw food event. Since then, I have not been back but luckily, my aunt asked me if I wanted to go this past Sunday. As excited as I was to try something new, what did I end up getting? The same thing ...
Who doesn't love a good grilled cheese? Especially when it's more than just the cheese smashed in between two slices of bread. Add a little meat, veggies or sauce and before you know it you look like some kind of gourmet chef.
