Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
As I've gotten older, I think I've learned to gain a new appreciation for the Earth in numerous ways. Not only just what grows out of it (all of that good #organic produce) but the people in it and how the way we treat it is only reciprocated back to us. I'm more aware than ever before of global warming and it's impact on us and I try my best to recycle, waste as little food as possible and give ...
This is my last semester as an undergrad student and I have 18 credit hours under my belt. Not only am I in class what feels like 8am to 9:30pm every day but I'm also spending three days a week interning, trying to keep up with the blog and fitting in workouts and time with friends accordingly.

Why is time ...

But instead, I’m going to have this magical creation I whipped up with Cedar's Foods instead. Good move, Addie, good move. When Cedar’s Foods reached out to me to collaborate with them I was silently jumping for joy. As my name has “chickpea” in ...
Let's get one thing straight. Nothing beats a club sandwich. When I think of the classic go-to American meal, it's not a hamburger or hot dog (although those two might be in my head after that Cubs game last night - woo Cubbies!).
