Usually, before heading out of Chicago, the man and I head to Eataly for groceries. Knowing we can find some of our favorite red wines, excellent-quality olive oil, suuuuuper good prosciutto, and freshly made mozzarella, we carry in our huge burlap "Choose your Salumi" bag and fill 'er up with ...
Pumpkin Soup
There are times it's so darn hard to make the food you're craving... Every year, on or around Halloween, I've kept with the tradition of making something pumpkin based. For a few weeks now, all I could think of was pumpkin soup. Creamy, onion-y, silky, and perfect, alongside something comfortable ...
Frosted Apple Cake from Williams-Sonoma
At the first sign of cold weather, my mouth begins to water for fall foods. Cinnamon, roasted beets, fresh pomegranate and kumquats. Fresh apples everywhere, and so many winter squash... just last night, I had a pizza topped with butternuts and Brussels sprouts (and it was delicious!). Desserts ...
The Most Important
I was never a huge breakfast eater. Thinking back to my middle and high school years, I can't remember a day I didn't wake up just a few minutes before I had to be on the bus, sprinting out the door with my backpack and enough money for lunch, skipping a morning meal. On weekends, at my ...

In the cabinets ...
Vinegar-Glossed Chicken
In the midst of my kitchen organizing chaos, desperate to make the insides of my cabinets beautiful and functional, I finally unpacked some books from the basement, finding- among other things- several cookbooks I'd forgotten I had.
I remember being introduced to Lucinda Scala Quinn's cookbook, ...
Cocktail Hour
One of my favorite moments is the one that happens at the end of the day, when work is done, I've already been to the gym, and finally decide to plop down at home and kick off my heels. More often than not, I shake myself a little something to drink and have a bite or two to fill my belly ...
Dinner(s) in Indy
** pictured above: the cheese board, Sage Advice, and a cozy corner at Spoke & Steele **
After 30 days of treating my body the way it always needed to be treated, losing a whopping 15.3 pounds in a month, and developing the best eating plan for myself, I decided it was time for a weekend ...
