I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who dislikes Trader Joe’s. Not everyone loves how busy it can get or maybe the parking lots (Lincoln Park TJ’s parking lot is SO TIGHT) but you can’t beat their innovative products and delightfully helpful staff. I love me some good Trader Joe’s finds and am always adding […]
Phew! What.a.list. When I asked you all for the best thing you’ve made during quarantine, you all really delivered. Now, I received hundreds upon hundreds of responses AND also hundred of DMs in response to this question. (I love how you all have been cooking/baking up a storm, too!) And I truly tried my best […]
I write a Chicago guide every few years and thought it was high time I wrote another: here’s the Official Non-Tourist Chicago Summer Guide–lots of patios included because, well, we gotta be outside. Yes, I moved to the suburbs (read why and also read more about how it’s going here), but I’m still in the […]
Over the weekend, I asked for your help on IG stories. I was feeling in a rut with Trader Joe’s and told you all to spam me with your favorites. It was an awesome exercise as I made the ask right before I went to the store and the responses came pouring in; I was […]

Two summers ago, I gave recommendations of my favorite Chicago restaurants and thought I’d share some new places. Just like last time, I included restaurants in various neighborhoods around the city. Also, be sure to check out my instagram, too, as I often tag the restaurants where I eat. Best steakhouse: Bavettes Bar + Beouf […]
via I’ve received some emails asking for some of my Chicago favorites and thought it was high time I start compiling a list. My fair city really has so much to offer and there’s much beyond this list but hopefully this will start you in the right direction. Food is always at the top of […]
view from loz feliz I spent the weekend in LA visiting my brother and sister-in-law. As I mentioned yesterday (as well as numerous other LA-based bloggers), it was downright scorching! I didn’t make it to the beach, but did in fact, spend ample time outside. It was a nice change from the Chicago winters that […]
