An Apple of a Day

Fall in Chicagoland is marked by many distinctive things. The changing of leaves is one, as is the cooler temperature, and the obligatory pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. In more recent years (since college to be honest) it’s not officially fall until I go apple picking. There’s something about grabbing fresh apples right off the [...]

Food : Art :: Alinea

I’ve waxed poetic about meals before. I’ve said before that a dinner was “the best ever”. I was wrong. I was invited by the lovely Jackie from I Am A Feeder to join her during the Chicago leg of her “great adventure” for the experience that is dinner at Alinea, the famous restaurant by chef [...]

**Long and photo-heavy post ahead! Rather than spreading this weekend’s events out through 3 or 4 posts, they’re all going into one long post. Don’t say you haven’t been warned!** Why is the post title in French? You’ll soon find out… As an anniversary and wedding gift, my mom’s best friend (you know her as [...]

What a whirlwind couple of days! After Adam and my date night on Wednesday at Seasons 52, I had a sister date downtown Chicago with my sister Leigh at Old Town Social, followed by some random photo taking, then there was the excitement of today! Thanks to all your support and votes, I’ve been selected [...]

So where did we leave off when I left you all drooling at my photos from the market yesterday? Didn’t catch yesterday’s post? I’ll give you a minute to go read it…or rather, look at the photos. I left you with these teasers:    Thanks to the sponsorship of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter [...]

Chicago Farmer’s Market Tour: Part 1, Green City Market

by Mara @ What's For Dinner? on August 22, 2010

in friends

I’m a sucker for a great farmer’s market. I think it’s been engrained in me from a very young age that food from the farmer’s market is just better than food from the grocery store. In recent years, I’ve learned to truly appreciate the wonderful flavors that come from produce grown in our own time [...]

**LONG POST AHEAD** Months ago, when it was announced that the Healthy Living Summit would be held in my hometown of Chicago, I got really excited! To be honest, it wasn’t because I necessarily wanted to go to the conference, but because DOZENS of my favorite bloggers would be coming to our fair city! Then, [...]

Ok, I promise, this is the last birthday-related post since, well, my birthday was almost a week ago. On Saturday night, a group of my closest friends and family joined Adam and I at Gilt Bar, a new gastropub here in Chicago. I’d heard a few great things about it in recent months, but the [...]

Have you all missed me?? I know I’ve missed you all… but it’s been a SUPER busy week full of celebrations that went way past my bedtime most nights. Therefore, blogging has taken a back seat. But I’m back today, and make sure you’re in a comfortable seat, you have about 3 days worth of [...]

Today was a rarity in my book. Usually, every summer, I get ONE day off during the summer between the end of school and the next school year. This year, due to various issues, I’ll be getting MANY days off this summer, and today was the first of those. I spent the morning sleeping in [...]
