Today was all about “time.” Tee time, that is. I was lucky enough to play golf with Mama Bender at 10:15 a.m., which also just happened to fit the criteria for #FebPhotoADay. Even though I had a rocky start – I choose to blame it on lack of practice in Chicago – we had a […]

Something New
When I saw that today’s #FebPhotoADay was “something new,” I figured whatever something was should revolve around food. Then I found out Mama Bender had grand plans for breakfast. Our mission? To replicate the Walker Bros. and Original Pancake House classic: the Dutch baby. What is a Dutch baby, you ask? It’s also known as […]
True Food Kitchen Telephone
The title is a nod to the “before and after” category on Wheel of Fortune. I’m a proud game show nerd. Though I admit to having a slightly irrational fear of flying (nothing a good cocktail can’t cure…) it is amazing that through the magic of air travel, I can be in Chicago for lunch […]
Won’t You Be Mine?
Happy Valentine’s Day! A big thank you to the Benders, who inspired today’s #FebPhotoADay – “heart” – with their Valentine’s Day package. The chocolate-covered strawberries were beautiful! Not to mention delicious. We had a great holiday here in Chicago. Though we technically celebrated at Wildfire last Friday, I couldn’t help but cook something special up […]

Bobby’s Chobani Taste Test {Video + Giveaway}
Before we get to the goods, I will allow you all the chance to peek inside our closet. Yes, I know. Try not to get too excited about this fantastic opportunity. 😉 It’s the subject of today’s #FebPhotoADay. Space is at a premium, so we split it 50/50. As you can see, Bobby’s wardrobe is […]
Makes You Happy
Happy Saturday! Today is extra happy for many reasons. When I learned that today’s #FebPhotoADay was “makes you happy,” I knew my picture would involve my plans for the afternoon. Ultimately, I found the perfect combination: breakfast mimosas and quality time with Jill! We met up at Blackie’s for brunch. One thing led to another […]
Thanksgiving?
I was on the phone with my mom earlier today. When she asked what my plans were for the evening, I told her that Bobby and I were heading to Wildfire for Thanksgiving. “Thanksgiving?” “Er…no. Valentine’s Day.” Clearly I am stuck back in November. Fortunately, I now realize that it is, in fact, February 10, […]
