A few weeks ago Kevin and I dined at Prasino for dinner. I have wanted to visit Prasino ever since it was featured on Check, Please! a few seasons ago. The word ‘prasino’ is Greek for ‘green’. I think the restaurant is perfectly named as all ingredients used in their cuisine are organic and locally…

Weekend Recap
Happy Monday! And happy first 70 degree day of the year! I’m officially loving this spring weather and so happy to see all of the snow finally gone! This weekend I took a little road trip to Indianapolis to visit my friend Kelly so missed all of the St. Patrick’s Day shenanigans in Chicago. Here…
Weekly Meal Plan: 3/15-3/21
Another week of Whole 30 complete! Only 9 days left! Still feeling great, and not really missing anything except for oatmeal still. I visited my friend Kelly this weekend and had to pass on eating pizza which was tough, but other than that ordering out at restaurants hasn’t been too bad. Here is my meal plan…

St. Patrick’s Day Treats
In Chicago, St. Patrick’s Day is a huge deal. We dye our river bright green, have a big South Side Irish Parade, and you can guarantee every single Irish pub (every bar for that matter) will be full of people with green beer in hand. The weekend before St. Patrick’s Day is pretty much crazy…
How to “Hard Boil” Eggs in the Oven

For those of you who aren’t familiar, The Kitchen is basically a foodie talk show and the hosts are hilarious! …
Knife and Tine
If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, then you know I love Sunday brunch! Kevin and I love trying out new brunch places each week and recently dined at Knife and Tine in Lincoln Park. Kevin started his meal with a Bloody Mary which he thought was good, but pretty standard…

Weekly Meal Plan: 3/8 – 3/14
Week 2 of Whole 30 – complete! Still feeling good and I am enjoying eating clean. I’ve also noticed that I don’t feel bloated at all after eating which has been nice. I really haven’t been craving “junk” but have definitely missed my morning oatmeal and peanut butter! I have been craving both of those…
Five on Friday
Happy Friday! I don’t know about you, but this week just seemed to fly by and I’m not complaining. I had a weird stomach bug for a couple of days so that wasn’t fun, but I’m happy to report I am on the mend and feeling much better. As usual, I’m happy to see the…
