Recipe: Healthy Pumpkin Brownies
Healthy pumpkin brownies? Yes please! Sugar? No thank you! A few weeks ago we had some family visit and I like to think I’m a pretty good host. Food is plentiful, treats are stocked and we have beautiful guest rooms that are welcoming and cozy. One thing, however, is that I don’t often eat a lot of treats. So when I do, I crash hard from the sugar. If I eat it for 3 days, I crash for about 6 hours. So with a week…

Travel: Cluck n Cleaver
Are you a foodie? We are, no doubt about it. We’ve driven an extra 700 miles to eat Lotus of Siam, travel to cities inspired by food (hello, Chicago!), and well, I run this lifestyle blog which is full of recipes and good eats. So, what does all of this mean? It means when I’m in Calgary and I have a chance to eat at Canada’s Top Chef Allstar’s restaurant, I’m going to take it. But only once. Read below as I share our experience…

Travel: Chicago Eats
Chicago eats – here are all of the amazing places we ate at – all in one place. Awhile back I broke up our eats into Chicago breakfast eats, Chicago lunch eats, and Chicago dinner eats. Well, in all honesty, you don’t need to hit up those places for those specific meal times. We had great food, amazing food actually, at all but one place. Quite a good batting average, if you ask me! Okay, here we go! Chicago Eats Below you’ll find some photos…

Travel: Chicago Dinner Eats
Chicago dinner eats – some of the best restaurants in the world are in Chicago. Well, my favourite dinner spots is below. The one tricky thing with dinner is that it’s a little more special than lunch, or breakfast. As such, I didn’t have my camera out a lot, well, hardly at all. Yet – these places are still worth mentioning, so here we go! Chicago Dinner Eats First up, Fat Rice. Yes, it’s far from the Loop, yet worth the 35 minute L train…

Travel: Chicago Lunch Eats
Chicago lunch eats – some of these places are just so good. All offer gluten free options and one place, the whole menu is GF. Total Score! Just like Chicago breakfast eats, we had a quick lunch sometimes. It’s better to balance out than to eat too much. Having said that, we do love trying new spots! Chicago Lunch Eats First up, Barrio in River North. This place had such a great menu. Bryce got the crispy chicken sandwich – the best he’s had, he…

Travel: Chicago Breakfast Eats
Chicago breakfast eats – this is one of the most underrated meals when traveling. Often times if you’re in a city for a while it’s about balance so grabbing a yogurt, or some fruit just makes you feel good. We were in Chicago for 5 days, so 5 breakfasts and we did this twice. I had fruit from Trader Joes and ate while we walked. What you shouldn’t do, though, is fall victim to a contential breakfast for 5 days in a row. No, the…
