With the impending arrival of spring, my tastebuds have moved on from hearty soups and stews to lighter fare like fresh salads. One of my favorite spring/summer dishes is a Caprese salad. Traditionally this salad is made from tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. This version I created replaces the tomatoes with strawberries which is a fun, fruity…
Five on Friday
Happy Friday! And happy first day of spring!! I saw the first signs of spring sprouting from the ground on my street this week and I can’t wait until all of the tulips are in bloom on the Mag Mile. We have plans to go see the new Divergent Series movie this weekend and I am…
Restaurant Style Salsa
If I had to pick one snack food to live on the rest of my life, chips and salsa just might be it for me! Kevin is also a lover of chips and salsa and between the two of us, we eat a ridiculous amount in our house. Sometimes we will buy store bought salsa…
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…
Five on Friday
Happy Friday!! Is anyone else dragging this week? Daylight Savings is rough! I do enjoy that it is still light out until almost 7 PM though and I am loving the 50 degree weather! I hope you all had a good week! Here are my Friday favorites: ONE | My friends and I decided to continue…
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
One of my favorite things about lazy Saturday mornings is getting to curl up on the couch with my coffee/tea while watching The Kitchen on Food Network. It is one of my absolute favorite shows! For those of you who aren’t familiar, The Kitchen is basically a foodie talk show and the hosts are hilarious! …
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…
Sweet and Spicy Beef Stew
Since starting Whole 30, I have been forced to find new recipes that are compliant with the program but also aren’t “too healthy” sounding to Kevin (ie. kale everything). This Sweet and Spicy Beef Stew definitely fit the bill. Even my meat and potato loving husband didn’t miss the white potatoes in this dish. Sweet…
Weekly Meal Plan: 3/1 – 3/7
Well I’ve officially completed week one of the Whole 30 program! I have to say I am pretty proud of myself for sticking with it so far. There were a couple of times I felt like throwing in the towel, but overall it hasn’t been too hard. The first few days I was extremely tired…
