This weekend when Kevin told me he wanted to try eating gluten free I quickly jumped on board! I did a 30 day gluten free challenge several months ago and could tell a noticeable difference in how I felt. I had some bananas that were extra ripe so decided to make a gluten free banana…
Avocado Pasta
One of my favorite foods are avocados. They are a great source of healthy fat and are so versatile. They are great on salads, sandwiches, tacos, in guacamole, and my recent favorite way to eat them – as a sauce on pasta. One of my favorite food bloggers, Chungah, of Damn Delicious came up with…
Favorite Restaurant Salads
During the summer months, I almost always crave salads for both lunch and dinner. I love a nice big salad full of fresh ingredients! Today I am rounding up some of my favorite salads from restaurants around Chicago. All of these would be super easy to recreate at home as well. Brussels & Kale Salad…
Kale Salad with Peaches, Sweet Corn, and Basil-Honey Vinaigrette
Kale – you either love it or hate it. I happen to be one of those people who genuinely loves kale. My poor husband, on the other hand, not so much. I continually buy it at the grocery store each week and he eats it without complaining, but I know it’s not his favorite. So…
Homemade Dill Pickles
One of my favorite snack foods of all time are pickles. Bread and butter, sweet and spicy, dill, fried pickles – you name the variety, I’ll eat them! Kevin and I have even been to known to buy the giant jars of Famous Dave’s Sweet and Spicy pickles from Costco for the sole purpose of…
Steak Tacos with Peach Salsa + Beso Del Sol Sangria

There is a new sangria out on the market called Beso Del Sol that is the first premium, 100% natural bag-in-box on the market. It is imported from Spain and is…
Berry Trifle
When it comes to sweets, I’m much more of a fruit than chocolate kind of gal. One of my favorite summer desserts is my mom’s berry trifle. I made this recipe last weekend for the 4th of July and it was a huge crowd pleaser! Not only does it taste delicious, it is super easy…
Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
In my opinion, there aren’t many things better than a freshly baked, warm chocolate chip cookie. Neither Kevin or I are big sweet eaters, but we do both love chocolate chip cookies! I have been trying different cookie recipes over the past couple of years in search for the perfect cookie and I finally found…
Southwest Veggie Salad
After several full days of dining out, my body has been craving vegetables like no other! For dinner last night, I created a southwest salad that is full of health benefits. Spinach: rich in antioxidants and is a good source of vitamins A, B2, C and K and also contains magnesium, manganese, folate, iron, calcium…
