8 Key Rules of Thanksgiving Turkey Safety
Can you believe Thanksgiving is next week?! Slowly but surely, our plans are coming together for the food-centric holiday.

May Favorites
It’s been a rainy AF May over here—so much so that it’s apparently the second wettest May ever in Chicago. As it’s continued to warm up, I’ve decided to fully embrace the frizzy hair (yes, let’s pretend it’s a choice). Despite the humidity (which I didn’t miss when we lived in San Diego), I’m thankful…
Adding Healthy Habits vs. Breaking Bad Ones
Trying to live a healthier lifestyle can be overwhelming with all the so-called “bad” foods and habits out there that you’re allegedly supposed to cut out cold-turkey to reach your goals.

Sweeten up halved walnuts with maple syrup for an addicting snack that also makes for a great hostess gift. The first time I made this recipe was about three years ago when I wanted to make a homemade gift for my now father-in-law. I’ve always liked the idea of making a food item to give…
How to Never Run Out of Gift Ideas
Coming up with gift ideas can be time-consuming, frustrating, and just straight-up impossible at times—especially if you wait until the last minute.

October Favorites
First things first…Happy Halloween!! I decided to carve a pineapple this year to mix things up, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

September Favorites
Fall has arrived! And we’re nearing the holiday season! I’m puuuumped about both of these (though I’m not too thrilled about the noticeable difference in daylight hours lately).
