Just a small portion of the epic batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (Brad’s mom’s recipe!) that I baked up on the 4th of July
Hey guys! How was your 4th of July? I spent the day cooking, loungin’ by the pool, and of course watching fireworks! Dinner consisted of panzanella salad, our favorite brown sugar garlic flank steak, and, of course, way too many of the above cookies. Such good eating!
Greek street food at the Wells Street Art Festival – seconds before I took one bite, then dropped the entire plate all over my lap and the curb. It was awesome (not).
Welcome to this week’s Foodie Favorites! Last week we talked about the best BBQ in Chicago instead, so I have lots of good stuff saved up for this week. Apparently I’m really into sweets lately? Let’s roll with it.
Today is a super extra special day.
We have three major things going on today, all of which deserve a massive celebration of epic proportions:
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!
