Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
For the past few days, I've really been under the weather. My body has not been a fan of 6 hour drives to and from my hometown of Cleveland combined with sleeping on a couch and being around my family's pets. Pet dander allergies are the worst, let me tell ya. I usually only get sick about 2-3 times a year and I think the reason is partly due to the foods I consume. I'm a firm believer that the ...

In addition, I saw my best friend from grade school, discovered a new ...
I never thought I'd see the day where I actually made myself a plant-based pizza and at the same time, one with shaved parmesan reggiano. a.k.a real cheesy goodness! When my blog began in the spring of last year, dairy was a total no-no for me. If there was even a slight topping of parmesan on a salad at any restaurant I went to, I'd have to tell the waiter, "with no cheese please" before bringing ...
