Summer is a blessing and a curse. Do you agree? …at least from my point of view as a working mom. I have a 9 yr old son and, for me, summer means juggling my schedule around his camps and time with him when he isn’t at camp. No week is the...

I went to a café the other day on my way to a meeting. It was a small one in a local grocery/sundry store. It’s in a sort of hippie town so it had the possibility of being a hidden gem. The menu wasn’t much but I was excited to see they had matcha...

Winter squash. I love it. I’m not sure exactly when my obsession began but I think it was a Butternut Squash Ravioli with a Brown Butter and Sage Sauce at a little Italian restaurant in Chicago somewhere near Halsted and Diversey in the mid- to late- 90’s. I...
