This one’s for the lot that has to wait until 6pm to enjoy their turkey dinner. Or for anyone who wants to enjoy a truly naughty tasting breakfast smoothie, that isn’t bad for you! Have this the day of, the day before, or the day after- I promise this pumpkin pie smoothie is the perfect way to start your holiday. Yes, it tastes exactly like chilled pumpkin pie filling, yes it is packed with protein, and yes, believe it or not it is vegan 🙂 so no one has to deal with a puffy tummy after one of these.
I really wanted to call this post my “Top 10 meal prep tips for anyone too hungover on Sundays or peeps who ain’t got time for that” but the formatting was all off, so, I went with “working crowd” assuming you know what I meant.

So when it came time to pick a place to eat for our Friday night celebration, I handed Brett the list and told him to surprise me. On Friday night at 8:00pm sharp our uber rolled up to Hub 51, and we eagerly headed inside. Continue Reading
Last Saturday night my friend Jackie and I had a night out on the town. Not knowing where to go for dinner, but eager to find a new place that did gluten-free right, we settled upon Sunda: A New-Asian restaurant that has an extensive cross-cultural menu, and an even more impressive gluten-free menu. So we strapped on our heels and headed to River North; what awaited us was worth the adventure! Continue Reading
This past Friday night was girls night out! The weather was perfect; it had finally cooled down a bit in the city, so my girls and I hopped in an uber and headed into Wicker Park in search of some poke and piña’s. What we found at Mahalo did not disappoint! Continue Reading
