Hey, everyone! This is my third week working from home, and I've been doing a lot of creative cooking to avoid shopping. I've also spent a lot of time walking around talking to my plants, but I'm sure I'm not the only one! The best part is that the last week has been pretty mild … Continue reading A Week of Cooking and Talking to My Plants

A Week of Fitness & Healthy Eating
It's Sunday evening and I'm winding down from a rare 52-degree February day in Chicago. It's also the Super Bowl, but I don't even have regular television channels and I don't care much for sports, so that doesn't really matter to me. I spent today walking my dog and exploring a new trail in a … Continue reading A Week of Fitness & Healthy Eating
Southwest Corn Salad
I am sad that summer is starting to wind down even though fall is my favorite season. Tomorrow, the new semester of school starts, so I was busy all weekend preparing for the course, but I did have some time to throw this refreshing salad together to bring to my friend's barbecue. It's very easy … Continue reading Southwest Corn Salad
Small Recap
Hello! It's a beautiful night in Chicago - today has taken on the sort of aesthetic I love. It's slightly warm but there's a cool breeze, and the sky is gray and a little dark, but the wind in the trees rustled in a way that the movement of the leaves and the birds made … Continue reading Small Recap
Fried Cauliflower Rice w/ Tofu “Egg”
I like to include plant-based meals in my week as much as possible, not only because of the nutritional benefits, but because of the the ways it can help the environment. Eating plant-based meals several times a week can help reduce your carbon footprint, minimize water usage/waste, and help lessen risk of heart disease, cancer, … Continue reading Fried Cauliflower Rice w/ Tofu “Egg”
Zoodles, Chicken Meatballs, & Garlic Green Beans!
After a long day of work, working out, blogging, and running errands, I'm always looking to take the easy way out. This recipe requires very little work but is full of flavor and nutrients. You can easily omit the meatballs to make it vegetarian/vegan! I made them for my husband. This dish is also low-carb, … Continue reading Zoodles, Chicken Meatballs, & Garlic Green Beans!
Recap: Concerts, Food, and Heat Waves
Hello. It's early Sunday afternoon and currently raining in Chicago. It's thundering and lightning, but it's a bit of a welcome relief from the very hot temperatures we've had all week. I am going to bring this recap back to last Friday! I took the day off work because I was going to the "Disrupt … Continue reading Recap: Concerts, Food, and Heat Waves
Homemade Potato Salad
When I make any dishes associated with picnics/barbecues/parties, I like to be adventurous and think outside the box, but this Fourth of July, my husband was sick and we didn't end up going to any parties, so I decided to make some more "traditional" dishes so we could still experience some of the fun. I … Continue reading Homemade Potato Salad
Caprese-Style Baked Chicken
Hello, all! It's another beautiful evening in Chicago and I just finished up a Flexibility and Strength yoga flow with Sanela. I had all the windows open to let in some fresh air, a Bath & Body Works scented candle going, and a Synergy Gingerberry kombucha. I feel loose and relaxed and wanted to take … Continue reading Caprese-Style Baked Chicken

Hello! It's a beautiful but cooler Sunday afternoon in Chicago and I am going for a hike in a forest preserve after writing this post. I didn't have a super-eventful week, but I got a lot done.
