Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
Can you believe it's been three weeks since my last blog post? In that time span, I've worked 65+ hours at Whole Foods (winning), locked down a membership with my favorite workout studio (Studio Three) and finally signed up for Uber. Yes, it took me this long but I did it. This month has been very topsy turvy but I'm back and just in time for summer shenanigans. For starters, I can't think of a ...

Yes, that crunchy cabbage that smells like vinegar and makes your gut happy and stuff. Sauerkraut is kind of, sort of, totally something that runs in my family as a favorite topping of choice. My dad and brother love adding it to their sandwiches, hot dogs and bratwursts at home ...
Whenever I make a recipe on a whim and it turns out so tasty, I instantly call everyone to tell them how they need to try it. By everyone I mean my mom and brother, Jack (the foodies of my family).
