The insane BBQ spread at Green Street Smoked Meats
I officially have a new favorite restaurant in Chicago – Green Street Smoked Meats. I won’t talk about it too much because I’ll be writing a review of it in the coming weeks (I have too many good meat pics not to share). We went last Friday and it was SOOOOOO GOOD.
Serious picnic eats in Lincoln Park
We had our first picnic of the season on a gorgeous Friday afternoon last week. Give me a wedge of stanky cheese, some fresh berries, and a few trashy mags and I am the happiest girl alive!
This breakfast ice cream was my favorite thing I saw online all week. I mean…bacon and fresh-made waffles in ice cream? Genius!
Summer is here! At least it feels like it for now. It’ll probably go back to being near-freezing and sleeting next week based on recent Chicago weather patterns, but for now give me a giant ice cream cone from Annette’s (the above was their incredible carrot cake flavor) and I’m the happiest gal in the world.
A fresh blueberry-peach smoothie and a giant bundle of asparagus from the farmers market
First things first: I had the best time at the Green City Farmers Market’s first outdoor weekend of the year. Brad was busy Saturday morning, so I had a “me” morning of strolling the farmers market leisurely, sampling everything, and watching adorable dogs and babies run around everywhere. Take-home spoils included: a fresh peach and blueberry smoothie made by a girl on a bike (seriously), a rhubarb spelt scone, an enormous bundle of asparagus, and an embarrassing amount of samples of Wisconsin cheese curds. I love the Midwest! I’m going to try to make it to the farmers market much more this year + hopefully share the seasonal goodness with you all on the blog! (Side note: why is every single person at farmers markets wearing gym clothes? There is NO WAY you ALL already worked out by 9am! Right…right?????)
