Last week I had my monthly dinner club with some of my girlfriends from church. Our theme for October was “fall food”. For our dinner club, we rotate houses each month and whoever hosts prepares the main course while the rest of us bring the sides and dessert. This month the main course served was…
Labriola Cafe & Bakery
One of my favorite restaurants to grab lunch or a casual dinner out is Labriola Cafe. Any time Kevin and I are out shopping in Oak Brook we always make a point to eat at Labriola. There menu has everything from sandwiches to salads, pizza, pasta, and burgers. There really is something for everyone’s taste…

Happy Friday! Did this week drag on for anyone else?? Thank goodness the weekend is here! I am extra excited because two of my best girlfriends are coming into town and we are having ourselves a girls weekend in Chicago. We’re going to whoop it up Vicki Gunvalson style! I’m so pumped! I hope you…

And yesterday at Starbucks they were giving free samples of their pumpkin muffins and scones which immediately made me want to bake some of my own. I am already getting excited for fall recipes…
Oyster Fest Chicago
It only took a couple of years of coaxing from my husband, but I finally tried oysters a few years ago on a trip to San Francisco and loved them! I don’t know what took me so long to take the plunge, but I’m glad I did. Especially with an oyster bar two blocks from our…
Roasted Beet, Pear, and Goat Cheese Salad
In the summer one of my favorite ways to meal prep is to shop local at the Farmers Market and come up with a meal based on what produce is in season. A couple of summers ago I bought beets for the first time and have been in love with them ever since. I like using…
Summer Panzanella
Panzanella is a Tuscan salad made of bread and tomatoes and is one of my favorite summertime meals. The main ingredient is toasted bread and beyond that the possibilities are endless. I love using fresh tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella in this salad. The version I am sharing today adds a few more fresh ingredients including…
