Happy Monday! Hope everyone’s week is off to a great start. This weekend was quite a whirlwind for us. My husband’s friend got married in Wichita, so we took off work Friday, and headed to Kansas bright and early for a long weekend. There was a lot of dancing and a lot of wine, so… Continue reading Recent Eats

Spring Fever
Happy Spring! Once we changed times I instantly felt like a weight had been taken off my chest. It was so nice to see and feel the extra sun, and now my husband can leave the office and still see the daylight. Although in Chicago, we’re still waiting on those Spring-like temperatures, the sun is… Continue reading Spring Fever
Fun Food Find #7
Hello! I have a sweet and salty treat for today’s fun food find. Trader Joe’s just gets me every time. My eyes are instantly drawn to the new items every week, and I feel this internal struggle between not wanting to spend extra money and the fear that it might be gone next time I’m… Continue reading Fun Food Find #7
My Love for Whole Foods
Hi friends! Let’s talk Whole foods or should I say Whole paycheck? While it’s definitely not good on the budget, Whole Foods is one of my favorite places. Does anyone else absolutely love walking around the grocery store? Especially when you’re in no hurry, and you can aimlessly stroll up and down the aisle looking… Continue reading My Love for Whole Foods
Fun Food Find #6
Hey hey fellow foodies! Today’s fun food find is a guilt free treat when you need just a tad bit of chocolate but don’t want anything too sweet. Last week at Trader Joe’s I found this Cocoa Almond Cashew Beverage. I think the title needs to be a little catchier, but it looked exactly like… Continue reading Fun Food Find #6
Fun Food Find #5
Hello! I’ve got another fun food find for you today. Before you judge, give this one a shot. “Just Beets” from Trader Joe’s are just that- dehydrated beets. They look like a dark purple potato chip with only one ingredient. While they look like a regular chip-besides the color- they don’t taste quite the same.… Continue reading Fun Food Find #5
Healthy Eating Out
The hubby and I have gotten into our new favorite tradition of a dinner date on Fridays. It’s such a fun way to end the week and something to get us through work that day. Now being on the Whole 30, I didn’t want that tradition to be paused. It just took a little more… Continue reading Healthy Eating Out
My Stomach Issues
Here’s the thing. It’s all manageable. I never felt the need to go to a doctor or see a specialist because I always said- I’ll live. While that’s true, stomach pain and bloat is no fun. I often take a precautionary antacid before going out in anticipation of a stomach ache, and usually about half… Continue reading My Stomach Issues
Whole 30 Week 4 Recap
I cannot believe we only have a couple days left of January! At the very beginning of the year I posted my focus for each month of 2018, and I’m already thinking ahead to get ready for my February focus- a gratitude journal. More on that later. As for the Whole 30, this week went… Continue reading Whole 30 Week 4 Recap
My cabinet
I’m a snacker. My husband knows I always have water and something to eat in my bag everywhere we go. Even though the whole 30 encourages bigger meals instead of snacking between meals, it is what it is sometimes. My love for nut butter is apparent. I could write several posts on almond butter… Continue reading My cabinet
