Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
I've been meaning to try the whole "baked donuts" thing for quite some time. There are so many cool donut shops in the Chicago area (one of the most popular being Glazed & Infused) that I have yet to try but hopefully will in the next coming months. I figure this year I definitely will need to try Do-Rite Donuts - they sell Vegan flavors daily including raspberry, chai and blueberry. Yum for ...
Yesterday was my first off day of work this week so what do I do? Sit on Pinterest for a good hour looking up some fun recipe to make before I head over to Whole Foods and Trader Joe's for my weekly foodie run.

I often find it hard to scope out a really good Mexican restaurant that is not too expensive yet still offers high quality food.

When I stumbled upon Momocho's menu, I thought to myself that it looked pretty fancy and highly rated so it must be something worth trying. As my friend Nicole and I ...
I found this smoothie recipe from an Instagram I just followed recently called Another Hungry Vegan and let me just say my mind was officially blown. The recipe called for frozen pears and I didn't have any frozen on account of the fact I literally went to the store and bought the ingredients primarily just for this smoothie. It would have been a great post workout smoothie yet of course I had it ...
