Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
Ah! I feel like since the last time I blogged I have eaten so many wonderful goodies and it's only been five days. I decided to do one post showing off some of the tasty treats I've nommed on including a few snacks (smoothies) and a lunch I had. 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 ...
I first tasted vegetable "noodles" a year or so ago when my mom and I discovered spaghetti squash. If you're not familiar with this, please go to your local market, find one and look up a recipe for it.

Through searching for different veg-friendly restaurants across north east Ohio I landed upon The Root Café in Lakewood, Ohio. It's about a 35-40 minute drive from me since it's located on the West Side of Cleveland but it is worth the trek every time. I've been there so far twice this summer and I love it.
