Starting at a very young age, food has always been an important part of my life. Whether it was sitting down and eating a meal together as a family or helping mom and grandma in the kitchen, it was always about sharing experiences through food. As a food blogger, sometimes I forget that it’s not about taking that perfect picture but about the people you’re with and the memories you make.

One of my favorite weekend activities to do in Chicago is to try different brunch spots around town. But after I had my son, my brunch requirements changed. I didn’t want to stop brunching, but needed to find kid-friendly places. A children’s menu, good service and atmosphere are all qualities I look for now….

The New Year has come so quickly. As I reflect back on moments from 2015, the year was filled many firsts. It was my first year becoming active in the Instagram community and it was the first year I encountered a whole new community of people. I am so grateful to have made many friends and I hope the trend continues in the new year. …
As I reflect back on 2015, I can say it’s been a big year of growth and learning. Also, a time of living life to the FULLest. Literally, my belly was full. I ate my way through the year…pizzas, burgers, doughnuts, cake, sushi, sandwiches, etc. You name it, I ate it….
The word ‘Gastropub’ is defined as “a pub that specializes in serving high-quality food.” Well, if there is one place that truly embodies every aspect of that definition, it would be CRĪO. CRĪO is one of my favorite brunch and dinner gastropubs, and even better? It’s located right in the Lincoln Park neighborhood. …
Sushi is my favorite food to eat. I find myself craving it all the time, and I would eat it everyday if I could. Although the sushi scene in Chicago is not as vast as the coasts, there is a decent amount of Japanese restaurants that do it right….
