Pour yourself a mug of Coffee Cocoa and settle down, friends. It’s time for a story! Once upon a time, there was a 20-year-old girl working as a nutrition department clerk at a grocery store in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Tidbits and Treats
DreamChamps
What a week! I am officially back in the swing of things after a few days of R&R in Arizona. There is nothing quite as rejuvenating for me as a trip to the Southwest in the springtime. The weather was absolutely spectacular last week and even though I am now back in Chicago, I feel […]
Just Answer Me This
If you could be somebody else for a day, who would you be and what would you do? This may seem like an odd question to ask on a food blog, but I promise it will all make sense in my next post. Can’t wait to hear your responses. There is no limitation to what […]

Hustle Up the Hancock
…and what a hustle it was! A big thank you to everyone who provided tips, advice and well wishes on yesterday’s post. Our journey up 94 stories was truly an adventure, and I’m happy to say that not only did we make it – we can’t wait to do it again! We arrived at Hustle […]
What Was I Thinking?
Today I am going to be running as fast as I can up this 100-story structure. That’s right. I am hustling. Up the Hancock. For charity, which is about the only sane part! What was I thinking? 😉 I think I was thinking it would be a lot of fun and I’m sure by the […]
