Happy Friday! We had a little bit of a heat wave here this week with temps reaching 30 degrees and the sun was shining! Tomorrow is even supposed to have a high of 40! It’s almost spring…kind of. Either way, I’ll take it! Another low key weekend on the agenda for us. Whatever you are…

Supermarket Healthy Cookbook Review
Some of my goals for 2015 are to eat clean and cook more meals at home. This new cookbook I have added to my collection is the perfect tool for helping me stick to these goals! Supermarket Healthy is the newest cookbook from Food Network star, Melissa D’Arabian. I love this cookbook because Melissa provides…
Veggie Frittata
In my opinion, frittatas are one of the easiest dishes to make when in a hurry because they are a “no fuss” kind of dish. The varieties are endless and they are a great way to use up leftover vegetables, meat, or whatever you have in your refrigerator. They are also great to make ahead…
Jane’s
Two weekends ago Kevin and I dined at Jane’s for our first Sunday brunch of the year. I had heard great things about Jane’s so I knew I wanted to try it for myself. When we first arrived and I saw how cute the outside of the restaurant was, I knew I was going to…
Weekend Recap
Good morning! How was your weekend? Mine was nice and relaxing and relatively uneventful so this post should be short and sweet. 🙂 FRIDAY | I had the day off work to attend an event with Chicago Food Bloggers. I was lucky enough to be invited to the Chicago Auto Show’s First Look for Charity…
Five on Friday
Is it just me or was this the longest week ever? Maybe it was the first full week back to work after the holidays or the negative temperatures, but either way TGIF!! You would think living in the Midwest my entire life would have me ready for winter each year, but I don’t think anything…
Thursday Things – Chicago Restaurant Week
One of my favorite things I look forward to each year is Chicago Restaurant Week. Living in Chicago, there is definitely no shortage of dining out options and trying to keep up with all of the trendy hot spots can become quite expensive. In my opinion, participating in Chicago Restaurant Week is the best way…
Blueberry Oat Muffins (Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
With the beginning of a new year upon us, I’m sure many of us (myself included), are trying to start the year off right by eating healthier. After weeks of indulging on holiday treats, my body has definitely been craving some lighter fare. These blueberry muffins are gluten free, dairy free, and contain no white…
Wood
Last week Kevin and I had the most delicious last meal of 2014. We made a reservation at Wood for New Year’s Eve and couldn’t have been more pleased with our meals. The restaurant had a special prix-fixe menu for the evening which we weren’t aware of until we were seated, but it turned out…
Weekend Recap
Good morning! How was your weekend? We had a pretty productive weekend which involved a lot of errand running. Chicago also got its first real snow and temperatures are supposed to drop pretty low this week so I’m not looking forward to that. I always enjoy the first snow but once it turns gray and…
