I hate wasting food. HATE it! It’s hard when you are first learning how to cook because unless you take the time to painstakingly meal plan, you end up with miss-matched food that you don’...
It’s official, we are going to Jamaica! In 5 weeks…..eeps!! Time to get in shape! I have not been able to get into a workout schedule in a long time and I don’t know why. I always l...
Corey loves manicotti. No, he really loves manicotti. And since I love him, we had manicotti the other night – vegetarian of course! This week we challenged ourselves to eat in everyday, so I d...
I love the idea of individual sized meals. I think they add so much character, not to mention, they help tremendously with portion control. I saw this adorable (can food be adorable?) recipe for indi...
Is losing weight or eating healthier on your list of new years resolutions? Has it been a resolution of yours before? Do you think you can stick with it this year? No really…. I see so many peo...
I made this for a group of friends the other night and they all loved it! It was super easy to make and looks rather impressive. I hope you all had a wonderful 2011 and best wishes for an even better...
There is a small cafe in the loop that has this awesome porta-roma sandwich. I decided it was high-time I try to make it on my own. I put my own little twist on it by adding a basil pesto spread whic...
I am always scraping something together at the last minute to complete a meal. So having easy, healthy side dish recipes at the tip of my fingers is so key. I have tried numerous versions of “t...
If you are someone who thinks you can’t cook, or doesn’t like to cook or never has time, meet the love of your life – the slow cooker. Best. Invention. Ever. As I said the other day...
There is nothing more American than a big juicy cheeseburger, am I right?! So let’s make a healthy version! Adapted from The Edible Perspective. Ingredients 1 15oz black beans, drained + rinsed...
I don’t know about you but I love any recipe with directions that read, “combine all ingredients, and serve!” Which is why I love quinoa salads so much. Other than the actually cook...
‘Tis the season for diet temptation. To avoid feeling deprived, I like to find ways to healthify my favorite holiday dishes. This one comes from the amazing Dawn Jackson Blatner (again!) and is...
I have made this twice now since I attended Dawn’s class at The Chopping Block. It is just so awesome! I make a ton so I can have leftovers throughout the week. It is a great recipe for those w...
Happy Friday everyone!! I have an awesome recipe and review to share with you today. I was invited to the launch party of HotFit.TV last night at the Kenmore Live Studios in River North. The premise ...
Well folks its back to reality this week. I’m home from my long Thanksgiving vacay in Minnesota and back to work, as I’m sure the rest of you are too. The time between Thanksgiving and Ne...
In the interest of saving time and my mothers sanity she decided to cater Thanksgiving dinner this year from Whole Foods. It is a new location so this was the first year they were doing it. Well turn...
Can I just say, I have the most amazing parents ever. I mean, I see so many stories about children growing up in horrible conditions. I watched the Casey Anthony trial like a hawk and was disgusted a...
I haven’t been home (to Minnesota) in a while and it feels really good to be here. I got in on Saturday for the Thanksgiving holiday because I saved up my days off so I can have the whole week....
I had heard a lot about the cooking classes at The Chopping Block, but I just never seemed to get around to signing up for a class. Somehow I stumbled upon a class called 100% Nutritionist Approved H...
Going meat-free doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the classics. I have been delightfully surprised at how easy it is to omit meat from the majority of my meals. Case in point – chicken n...
G.T Fish and Oyster Friends, drop your forks, and run to G.T Fish and Oyster. If you are in search of good seafood in the city, look no further. I met my friend and local natural foods chef and welln...
May I bother you with a rant for just a moment? Smokers. I’m sorry if you are one, but seriously. No, retract that statement, I’m NOT sorry! If you are reading this blog you should know b...
No I didn’t put a little mouse in my crock pot… (I know that’s what came to your mind when you read ratatouille, right?) I have been so busy lately and just haven’t had time t...
Well if you haven’t caught on yet, I like soup. A lot. A great homemade soup is so awesome on a chilly day. And there are always leftovers which last several days, perfect to pack and bring to ...
So I recently found out that I will soon be working from home again. I did this at a different firm a little over a year ago and it was not has easy as it sounds. Sure it was nice to not have to get ...
I was so excited to try this recipe but as you will see it became difficult (and as you may know, I don’t do difficult) so I came up with a different solution. I would highly suggest you go wit...
I made this the other night and wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it turned out! I saw the recipe on Martha Stewart and adapted it slightly to make it a little healthier. This was beyond eas...
I just wanted to take a second to say how grateful I am to be a part of this blogging community. I don’t know if it is all bloggers or just the foodies but everyone is so nice and thoughtful an...
I was in such a funk last week and I’m not sure why. Things at work are busy but not overly stressful. In all honesty I’d rather be busy than bored. I was physically feeling fine. And no ...
