Happy almost 4th everyone! Our system is down at work so today is dragging so I entertain myself with EDC Videos and too much caffeine. So y'all know pasta is my one true love, but I have found my FAVE sub for it- Trader Joe's Cauliflower gnocchi. Getting the gnocchi perfectly crisp is key but… Continue reading Summa Time Cauliflower Gnocchi
It's going to take me 100 years to try all the new restaurants in Chicago when I find myself CRAVING the one's I go to on the regular. Still in the process of trying a new place once a week, (I'll get to writing them all eventually) BUT ANY WHO. Let me tell you about… Continue reading The Kitchen
Y'all it's been a busy few weeks, I also don't eat anything that isn't grilled so I don't have any crazy new recipes to share but some of my weekly staples when the weather is permitting. Also, this whole working girl stuff has kept me busy and I am all about being more efficient with… Continue reading Grilling SNZ
I swear I have been eating out so much the past few weeks, it's just finding the time to write now! I thought Nellcote would be a good place to start- this lovely gem is located on Randolph street and modeled after a french chateau and is SO fabulous. Fun fact- I am trying to… Continue reading Nellcôte
Guys!! It's my second week at my new job, so far so good. It's been an adjustment that's for sure, I really am not a morning person and I have found it increasingly hard to find time to cook at night. I get why people eat out so much during the week, it's pretty hard… Continue reading Enchilada Bake
So I know how hyped Girl & the Goat is... but oh my goodness. Top meals/experiences I have ever had. Remember how excited I was for Au Cheval and it was a total let down and I didn't even write about it? Well this was not the case here. Girl & the Goat exceeded my… Continue reading Girl & The Goat
I have been wanting to go to RPM Italian for like- EVER. Because I have been dreaming about the pasta and running into Giuliana Rancic and becoming instant BFFS with her. We had a very late start to the evening- like sleeping off a hangover that I wouldn't wish upon anyone. Finally got ready for… Continue reading RPM Italian
Hi guys! I know it's been a hot minute since I have posted a new recipe but basically all I do is go out to eat now/eat at work and never cook at home, whoops.

Oh, Beatrix how I love you so. You have become my one of my favorite lunch and brunch places! Is it the plants that are hanging from the ceiling? Or perhaps the fresh squeezed juice cocktails that speak to me so? Basically, everything about Beatrix is pure gold. One of my fave parts about this… Continue reading Beatrix
I know I haven't posted a new recipe in a bit, but it's because there's so many great places in Chicago I don't have enough stomach capacity to fit it all. Last week, I had the pleasure of going to Swift & Sons. The atmosphere is elegant but has these comfort classic feels with soft… Continue reading Swift & Sons
Hi guys, I know it's been a hot minute since I've been able to post but let me tell you- moving and uprooting your life is weirdly time consuming. I have all my things unpacked and I am finally settled in. Although I haven't found my "big girl job" I am enjoying some downtime in… Continue reading Sweet home, Chicago
