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…
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…
Five on Friday
Happy Friday! Today is my first day back at work after having the past two weeks off. I wish I didn’t have to go back until Monday, but I guess I can’t really complain about a one day work week. We don’t really have any plans this weekend other than to make a trip out…
New Year’s Eve Through the Years
Happy New Year! I hope you all had a fun and safe New Year’s Eve last night. We had plans to travel to Florida to visit some friends this year, but sickness got the best of me and cancelled our plans. I woke up feeling much better yesterday and managed to leave the house for…
Christmas Recap
Good morning! Have you all recovered from your holiday activities yet? Being off work has really thrown me off on knowing what day of the week it is and I completely missed posting yesterday so I apologize for that. I also came down with a cold a couple of days ago so spent most of…
Chicago Q
Second to my love for all things Italian, barbecue is easily a close runner up for favorite foods of mine. Although barbecue is more famous in the South, Chicago does have some great barbecue restaurants as well. Chicago Q has been one of our favorites since it opened in 2010. Known for its competition style…
Weekend Recap
Happy Monday, loves! Today is my first day off work for Christmas break and I am currently writing to you from my couch in my pajamas – perfection! We had a very full weekend spent with friends and family and I realized I was terrible at taking pictures with everyone so unfortunately not many to…
Five on Friday
TGIF!! I am so excited because today is my last day of work until the New Year! Our office closes for two weeks at Christmas which is such an awesome benefit! We had our office party yesterday and this weekend begins the full swing of Christmas parties/get togethers for us. Whatever you are up to,…
Perennial Virant
One of the first fine dining experiences Kevin and I had together was several years ago at Michelin star winner, Vie in Western Springs. The chef/owner of Vie is Paul Virant. We enjoyed our meal so much that we knew we had to try his other restaurant as well. Perennial Virant is Chef Virant’s second…
