Here are some tasty foods that not only tantalize your taste buds, but also naturally detox and cleanse your body. I try to incorporate some of these weekly!

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!

spent 9 days traveling the ring road, and here were my favorite restaurant finds! :) Eating in out in Iceland is extremely expensive, so picking where carefully where you spend you $$ is important!

These are my tried and true kitchen appliances and gadgets. Most of them I use daily if not almost daily and they have made my life so much easier. From someone who LOVES to cook but prefers not to spend a ton of time cleaning up.

All my favorite experiences and good bites in Indy as I come across them. Coming from a girl that is not hard to please with food and sometimes prefers instant ramen over restaurant ramen. You have been warned⚠️🙅🏻‍♀️‼️

I’ve lived in South Central Kentucky my whole life and I’ve been exploring this state’s food scene long before “farm to table” was a hashtag. 🙌 The Bluegrass and Bourbon Trail region is seriously underrated — and if you’re only stopping here for the bourbon (which, fair 😂), you are leaving so much on the table. Literally. I make regular trips up for great meals, wine tastings, outdoor theater, vintage shopping, and anything else that sounds like a good time on a random weekend — and over the years I’ve found some hidden gems, the locals-only favorites, and the spots worth driving an hour for. These aren’t chain restaurants or tourist traps. These are the places where the food is made with care, the service feels like family, and half the ingredients probably came from a farm down the road. If you’re planning a Bourbon Trail weekend, a girls trip on Lake Cumberland, or just a Kentucky road trip and want to eat WELL — save this list. You’re welcome in advance. 😄 What you’ll find here: • ✅ Locally owned restaurants worth the drive • ✅ Farm-to-table and locally sourced favorites • ✅ Hidden gems the tourists haven’t found yet • ✅ Perfect stops before or after bourbon distillery visits • ✅ Updated regularly as I discover new favorites Know a spot I need to try? Drop it in the comments — a lifelong Kentuckian is always on the hunt for the next great meal.

These are the healthy staples I buy on repeat from Sam’s Club. If you’re looking for high-protein, budget-friendly foods that make meal prep quick and easy, start with this list

Atlanta is a great place to visit! But it can be expensive and as we all know from recent TikTok controversy, the restaurant culture isn't the best. So, don't limit yourself to Atlanta! There are so many great places in the metro Atlanta area, especially in the north. Head 15 minutes north to Doraville or 25 minutes north to Duluth or 20 minutes northwest to Alpharetta for great Asian eats! These places are my tried and true, go to over and over again places :)

As someone who runs on caffeine and chaos (aka parenting), my Keurig coffee maker is basically my co-pilot. I’ve tried a few models over the years—some were flaky, others were rockstars—and I’m sharing my faves that actually make mornings feel human. Whether you need a quick jolt before school drop-off or a quiet moment with a vanilla latte, these machines deliver. Bonus: they’re way more reliable than my alarm clock. Drop a comment if you’ve got a Keurig hack or favorite pod—I’m always hunting for that perfect cup!

What makes my belly happy! I try to snack on things that have more health benefits or protein to keep me fuller longer. I’m a snacker and sometimes I do make bad food choices but we’re all human. Love sharing what tastes good and I hope you give some of them a try.

Here’s how my Fall flavor mind works. September is for Apple, caramel, cinnamon. October is for pumpkin and spice. November is cranberry and pecan, but also is your chance to say farewell to all the previous flavors. Here’s my September must haves!

Spotlighting places that WOW effect with their foods and atmosphere

I've been to and LOVED these restaurants. Highly recommend :) Whenever I go out to eat, I get a variety of things to make an informed decision 😂 If it's on this list, I personally enjoyed the entire experience at the restaurant.

I started my cookie journey as a hobby, but when I decided to turn it into a side hustle in my 30s, I realized that 'good enough' equipment wasn't enough. Consistency is the soul of a business. I spent dozens of burnt batches and flat cookies finding the exact tools and ingredients that deliver professional results every single time. This is my 'Business Starter Kit'—the secret weapons behind every perfect, chewy, and sellable cookie I make. Whether you're baking for neighbors or building a brand, these Amazon finds are your foundation for success.

Do you spend the majority of your time in the kitchen? Quality ingredients are top priority for me + once I find something that I can't live without, autoship it is! As a mom, I prefer organic + locally sourced but availability fluctuates so I give myself options. These picks are tried and true - you won't be disappointed! Cheers to homecooked meals and memories made.

My dear husband is the chef in our kitchen but I’m the little princess that makes sometimes dessert or sweets for us and of course that he loves them. I really really enjoy his cooking and makes me so happy that he loves doing it and I really appreciate him for all the food. Its so fun and romantic when we cook together so I made a list of meals that maybe will inspire women but also men that want to cook for their partner but don’t know what. I hope y’all enjoy!!!kisses and bon appetit🍴

No “plain seltzer with lime” here! Who says a month (or an evening, or a lifetime-timeline is none of my business) without alcohol needs to be boring? Some people, perhaps, but not me!

I'm gluten free, but none of my friends/family are. These locally owned restaurants have great food for all of us.

I've worked overtime for many years so I've experienced many different types of coffee drinks and from many different places. I did start looking for budget friendly tools to start making my own at home. Some are home investments but they are worth your money for all the types of coffees you can produce.

These are the tools, ingredients, and packaging supplies that I use all the time when making my caramel batches. I've tried multiple options and I've also gone without, so I can confidently say that these are what I personally cannot live without in my caramel making! Please note, these are affiliate links, so I may receive a small commission if you make a purchase through these links. That said, I only ever recommend things that I truly love and use daily in my cottage food kitchen!

Cooking in my kitchen with a little help from Pinterest, Family, and good ole experimenting. Pinterest has brought me out of my comfort zone and into the world of trying new food.

This is a very passionate subject for me. Dyes have significant negative effect on me. And dye free is hard in the United States. Let me say that again. DYE FREE IS HARD in the United States. But the following are products that I found that taste delicious and a little easier to be healthy.

“Your ultimate cozy-chic bar checklist ✨☕🍹—all the little essentials to keep your days caffeinated and your nights sparkling. From dreamy lattes to glittery cocktails, this is everything you need to sip, stir, and shine in style!”

It’s nice to set some time away to sip away at some delicious tea (and coffee too). Tea is big where my family is from so I just happened to pick up on it. Definitely recommend experimenting and brewing methods and types of tea as we all like different taste profiles. I typically stay away from most store bought tea bags as the flavor is distorted from the compressed bag and the use of lower quality parts of the tea leaves for mass production. I like the natural flavors so I tend to stick with the natural flavors and avoid the blends but I do like a good cup of Earl grey here and there 😁

As a person that mostly drinks coffee for the flavour and truly loves the scent of coffee, I have tried multiple varieties and flavours. In this list I have put all of the different coffees that I always reach for, and all the essentials to make them.

This is a list for creating meals/having food in your dorm on your days off. These are just ideas, because I use to do my laundry and cleaning on my Thursday night, enjoy my Friday night or relax, Saturday was my day out, then Sunday was my hermit day where I just rested in my dorm. When I only had 1 day off per week, I usually spent most of it resting and catching up on self care activities.- I got up early to eat a big breakfast in the EDR then picked up my bagged lunch(es) I signed up for before hand, then stayed in my dorm area. Somedays I went to the pub and ordered food there so it was closer for me. It just really depended on how tired I was and if I had 1 day off or 2.

I absolutely love meal prepping salads in a jar! They are colorful, healthy, and stay fresh all week. They also keep me out of Chipotle on my lunch break! There are infinite options, and you can customize them however you want.

I love trying new restaurants and exploring new places around the Chicagoland area. Thanks to the TikTok girlies for providing restaurants to try!
