Resolutions. Every year, I look back on my computer and read my list of goals that I made before the new year. Last year’s resolutions were probably similar to many of your own….exercise more, watch television less and do more for other people. (Okay, I didn’t get much exercise in while watching TV but I …

Foodie Fun Day: CHILL 2012
I officially have been going to food events for over year. And there is one consistent thread that runs through each event…my mouth waters. Whether it is the rich aromas that roam through the halls or my first view of a perfectly plated dish of food…my mouth waters. When I see the chefs walking in …
Foodie Fun Day: Food & Wine Chef Showcase 2012
I don’t know what it is about the Food and Wine Chef Showcase in Chicago that makes me smile, it just does. Not just any smile, but a smile that makes my cheeks hurt. It is the kind of smile that resonates through your whole body and makes you put a spring in your step. …
Dragon Ranch Moonshine & BBQ: A Foodie Fun Day
A little fun fact to start off your week…In Chinese astrology, the dragon is the only animal of the zodiac year that is fiction based. So it makes sense that Dragon Ranch Moonshine and BBQ which opened this year seemed too good to be true. (Now the fun fact makes more sense doesn’t it??)Located in Chicago …
Chicago Gourmet 2012: THE FOOD
The last three days, I have sat down at my computer numerous times to write about the food at Chicago Gourmet this past weekend. I view my notes and pictures and immediately get hungry and feel the need to snack. Preferable snack on food from some of the best chefs and restaurants in Chicago. But …

Foodie Fun Day #20: The Lucky Monk
“Elevate your soul.” Is this the motto for a church? Nope. How about a beach yoga class? Nope. It is the part of The Lucky Monk’s motto “Delicious Food and Drink and a Welcome Warm Enough to Elevate Your Soul.” Named in honor of the Trappist Monks (beer crafting masters), The Lucky Monk located in …
N9NE Steakhouse Chicago: Foodie Fun Day #19
Anyone who knows me knows I love numbers. Big , small, rational or irrational, I look at numbers and my brain fires up. (Okay, I am a little OCD and I just love to count things.) So the first time I saw there was a restaurant called N9NE Steakhouse, I was intrigued. This past Friday, …
Foodie Fun Day #18: Season’s 52 Oakbrook
Surprises. They happen every day and are around every corner. I think surprises are one of the most exciting parts about food. You can take one ingredient and prepare it many different ways. It can taste completely unique even if it is something that has been around for years. So when I was invited to …
Foodie Fun #17: The Olive Branch
You walk into the grocery store and go down the aisles. You buy the items you need. You aren’t given the option to taste everything you buy or in some cases know where it is made. You do it because, in most cases, that is your only option. But let’s say you could go into …
