Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
Two weeks ago I had the opportunity to attend the event of my (foodie) dreams... being at a cooking class sponsored by one of my favorite brands (Siggi's Dairy) with a few of my favorite bloggers and RDs, eating REAL wholesome food. In the three hour time span we were at the event, we had the opportunity to create recipe's created straight from the Siggi's team themselves. The dishes were typical ...
I can't believe it's been a little over a month since I came home from NYC. Wait, did that even really happen? Did I get to spend the weekend in NYC with one of my favorite people and experience the city's finest workouts/eats? Yep, I did. It was magical and everything I could have hoped for.

Happy Saturday my little chickadees! Today I'm bringing you Part 2 of my three part NYC travels from last week (or technically almost two weeks ago). If you haven't caught on through my Instagram yet, I've been hashtagging #chickpeatravels on all of my posts so I can keep all of these memories on lock.

After a month or so of chatting about it and what plans we had, May and I literally changed our ...

By affordable, I mean most items on the menu are under $10. That just doesn't happen. Another thing which seems to be non-existent... something I am always on the search for when at a coffee shop or juicery... homemade almond (or nut) milk. The ...
To say it has been a long, foodie filled weekend could be an understatement. I ended the semester of school on Friday after having probably the longest ones I've had in my life, I got an A on a presentation talking about Whole Foods' dairy-free milk (no joke) and took a 7 hour bus home since the last time I spoke to you all. In addition, I saw my best friend from grade school, discovered a new ...
