One of my main foodie resolutions this year is to eat more whole, natural foods. I want to make as much of the food that we consume as I can at home, to control the ingredients and the flavors and make sure there’s no weird aspartame lurking where it shouldn’t. I mean, we all need some full-blown, no-holds-barred cheddar goldfish or potato chips every now and then, but for the everyday, I’d like to try to up the ante on the natural-ness of our food. Honestly, it’s not that I’m generally bad at this, but we all have room to improve, right?

Foodie Favorites – August 20, 2014
Oh yes, there was some serious brunching this weekend
Hey guys! How has your week been going? I seriously cannot believe how fast August is flying by…that’s what happens when you have visitors 3 weekends in a row! Not that I’m complaining about lots of food and sightseeing and fam time, of course. Now on to this week’s Foodie Favorites!
Tropical White Chocolate Coconut Granola Bars
The best, best thing about living in Chicago is that as soon as the weather shows even the slightest signs of heating up, people really freak out. The lakeshore path is filled with runners and bikers, restaurants bust out their outdoor patio furniture, and everywhere you look, people are drinking beer outside and laughing with their friends. The upside about the weather being absolute crap for much of the year is that people don’t waste a second of a sunny day, and there’s nothing like the energy in the city in the summer. It makes the rest of the year (almost) totally worth it.
