These are my personal favorite pizza joints in Chicago (and some in the Chicagoland area). While the world believes Chicagoans only eat deep dish, we are traditionally a tavern style city! Interesting fact: tavern style or cracker crust originated in the 30's & 40's during the Great Depression was served in Chicago bars and taverns to entice patrons to drink more and stay longer! Personally I like all types of pizza, so come on in and check out my favorites!

I believe our kitchen reflects where our heart is. Stuck in trauma? Your kitchen is either a disaster… or spotless because that’s the ONE thing you can control. Hurting inside?

This board contains everything I love and use in my kitchen, and a few items I want to add to my sacred space! From silly things like toothpicks, to my favorite cookbooks and appliances, it’s all here in one place.

Soooo learning how to bake is on your list of resolutions this year! When I first decided I wanted to give baking a try, I felt so unequipped—I didn't know why it was important to buy sticks of butter instead of butter in a tub, or what kind of tools to buy. Over time, and from teaching some beginners' classes, I've been able to come up with a list of staple items and ingredients every baker should have in their kitchen. Let's get started!

As an ex PT and also someone who suffers with endometriosis, keeping my protein intake up is really important. A lot of brands label things as ‘high protein’ when the calorie to protein ratio is completely off and it’s essentially a con! My nutrition training means I can spot a good protein find and what’s not worth the pennies!
Aldi's is my 1st choice for shopping. Great selections and lots of specials. Their produce is so fresh and affordable. White bread costs $1.25 per loaf. You're not going to find that price anywhere else. Here you will find products from other stores as well as Aldi's.
The kitchen is my happy place.

So, here they all are concisely organised for you! I don’t need super fancy stuff, I prefer to be more hands on in the kitchen!
Whole Foods is one of those iconic stores that pretty much everyone has heard of. Hosting a large grocery selection of Organic and natural items from foods to cleaning supplies, alcoholic beverages, pet products, personal beauty items, fresh baked goods, sushi, hot soup bar, fresh cheese bar and salad bar! With a growing city creating heavy congestive traffic I do not get to my local Whole Foods as much I used to when I lived closer to the location. Amazon Prime gives the feature of ordering my grocery list easily on the Amazon App to either pick up at the store or have delivered saving more time in my busy life! (And anyone who used to remember Friday Night Flights hosted at whole Foods is an OG reading this!! Was an amazing tasty weekly event that is severely missed)

I enjoy making desserts for birthdays, special occasions or just for fun!
