Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
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. Yet of course I get sucked into the wonderful worlds of Whole Foods and Trader Joe's (both of which are 2-3 blocks ...
One of my amazing and wicked awesome breakfasts I made a few days ago was a combo of my Purely Elizabeth Ancient Grain Oatmeal , ground chia seeds, cocoa powder and almond milk. Soaked overnight.

Last weekend I decided to opt for a breakfast different than what I usually make (açai bowls or oatmeal) and search ...
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.
