We all know I’m a fan of our local restaurants, especially those in Nulu. Rye, Royal’s, Feast, and Toast on Market are heavy in my repertoire, and as of lately, so is Annie Pettry’s gorgeous Decca, found on Market Street between Shelby and Campbell.
I decided- given our insanely cold weather ...
Post-Juice: 30 Days Later
Friends and sweet readers, I’ll ask in advance for your forgiveness on the length of this post. After 30 days of juicing, several hours of support and conversation with my Cleanse Coach, and a pretty astounding change in all areas “Joyce’s Health,” I have a lot to ...
Cleaning Out
I’ve had a terrible way of eating since I came out of the womb. My earliest memories of food include my grandmother making “fluff;” peanut butter mixed with marshmallow creme sandwiched between saltines and wrapped in my lunchbox. I remember dinner sometimes consisting of a ...
The Peanut Butter Ball
My grandmother is guilty of passing on false information. That's not to say she was a liar, but that she protected her recipes within an inch of her life. The recipe for the Italian Creme Cake she so loyally baked every birthday and Christmas was typed out on a three by five index card, ...

Last week, I had the pleasure of travelling to Pitsburgh with the Speed Art Museum to view some incredible galleries, collections and works (more on that Friday). I was fortunate enough to be travelling with a group of 20 who seemed to love food just as much as I do. Thursday night, ...
Gingerbread Dreams
As soon as fall weather hit growing up, my grandma would begin turning out these incredible Autumnal desserts... Spice cake with homemade caramel frosting (I can still smell that frosting- a recipe I've yet to locate), fried apple pies, butterscotch meringue pie, Italian Creme cake. All ...
Late Night at Eight Bar
As you well know, I love my little neighborhood in Chicago. I've stayed at The Ambassador East (formerly Public Chicago- more on that later) on more occasions than I care to admit. The atmosphere of the tiny bubble which comprises Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood is comfortable. ...
