On November 25, 2009, exactly 6 years ago today, Kevin and I got engaged! It was the day before Thanksgiving and I was flying down to Louisville the next morning to spend the holiday with my family. The week before Kevin asked me if I wanted to go out to dinner before I left to…
Best Pie in Chicago
One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving dinner is the pumpkin pie! It’s the one time of year I eat it and I look forward to it each November. I actually would prefer to eat pie over cake on any occasion so I thought it would be fun to round up some of the best…
Lake Street Kitchen + Bar
For this week’s restaurant review I will be talking about a popular spot right in the heart of downtown Oak Park. Lake Street Kitchen + Bar opened in late 2011 and I was so excited because it was one of the first restaurants in Oak Park to have a “downtown Chicago” vibe. The restaurant took…
