Al forno is an Italian phrase that describes something that is at or from the oven. I think Presidents’ Day banana bread fits that description quite nicely. 🙂 Bobby has been requesting that our overripe bananas be put to good use for weeks now. In honor of his day off yesterday, I whipped up a […]

Look, Ma!
Two hands! We’ve come a long a way from our tandem bike accident during our honeymoon in November. It may have taken 12 weeks, but Bobby’s doctor finally gave the “OK” yesterday to remove the bright blue cast that had become a comfortable part of our lives. Only joking, of course. Bobby couldn’t WAIT to […]
Traveling Pans, Healthy Hearts
My good “blend” Mara first initiated me into the Sisterhood of Traveling Pans way back in June of last year. Since then, the Sisterhood has met several more times, but with the wedding, honeymoon and holidays, I have regrettably not been there. That all changed on Sunday night in the city. The theme? Heart healthy, […]
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I can’t help but post this picture. It’s my very favorite. Hope that you all have a wonderful Monday! Find something to smile about whether it’s the snow melting (thank you), a particularly good workout or an extremely delicious piece of dark chocolate. 🙂 Bobby and I will be eating at one of our favorite […]
Green + Gold: The Super Bowl Champions Soup

#SnOMG + My Accent Vlog
Happy Groundhog’s Day! I can’t even justly describe how crazy last night was here in Chicago! We had everything from 50-60 mph winds to “thundersnow,” which means exactly what you’d think it does – thunder and lightning when all you can see out your window is a blur of white flakes. The big storm has […]
Cheese, Swine + Wine
As promised, a review of Dralion is at the end of this post (hint: it was incredible). But first, I want to tell you about the most exciting events of the weekend. On Saturday night, I saw Guster with my friend Lauren. They were amazing! What, you can’t make out their faces? I blame the […]
{Not In My Back} Yard House
Hi Friends!! Is it Thursday already? What a week. I’m actually very excited for tonight because I am taking Bobby out on a date. 🙂 I gave him tickets to see Dralion by Cirque du Soleil for Christmas and we are off to the the-a-ter (do I sound cultured?) tonight. Yes, it sounds like a […]
