Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and I love a hearty breakfast that involves a little bit of everything and let’s me start off my day right. But let’s get real. When you’re running out the door,…
Every Tuesday I like to share a new recipe with you all… but what about how I find recipes and where I get inspired. There are tons of websites out there and recently I keep going back to In Good…
Today, I’m excited to have Tommy from SMAK on the blog featuring an oh, so delicious recipe. Tommy and I have known each other since high school, but haven’t seen each other in years. After a recent bump-in, Tommy and…
There’s nothing more that I enjoy than a hot bowl of soup in the fall and winter months! I try to whip up a different batch every week that I can pair with a sandwich or salad for lunch, or…
When the air turns crisp and the leaves begin to change, I start craving more substantial food. Something a bit heavier, a tad bit greasier and what I like to consider “comfort food”. I’m not a big bread eater in…
This recipe is a combination of two and they just so happen to work perfectly together! I’ve never had a big sweet tooth- they used to force me to eat my birthday cake when I was a child – but…
Today I’m sharing a delicious recipe with you all. I absolutely love zucchini and after pinning this recipe recently, I knew I wanted to give it a try. I love soups- warm, chilled, all year. They fill you up and…
Good Morning! Today I am sharing a new recipe that I’m pretty smitten over. I had pinned it a while back and knew that once the weather finally cooled down, it would be the first thing on my list. I’m…
Good Morning lovelies! Since it is officially September (crazy, I know) and Fall is slowly creeping up on us, I thought we should chat some fall recipes that are a must to try for the season. I’m talking everything and anything…
Well good morning world! Today on the blog we’re back to whipping up some tasty recipes. I found this recipe from Foodie Crush and it makes me miss all things Italy. I’ve got to get back pronto and get my…
THE RECIPE This salad was inspired by a similar one I tried years ago on a vacation in Costa del Sol, Spain. I remember I was so taken aback by the flavors that I ordered it every day for lunch.…
When summer rolls around I pretty much have a Mediterranean diet; fish, veggies, salads and pasta. These foods are light and don’t weigh you down in the heat, not to mention extremely healthy for you. I was raised on this…
“Cooking is like love, it should be entered into with abandon or not at all.” Harriet Van Horne, ‘Vogue’ 10/1956 {Persian Love cake by Manger. Too beautiful to eat…} I absolutely love eating at a restaurant; surrounded by the chatter…
In the thick of planning a trip for a client to Italy, I always get so excited to experience some of my favorite destinations, all over again, through their eyes. It also happens to be one of my favorite destinations for a solo trip; a surrender to the senses, to la bellezza in all its forms. The Italians just do it right. Mentally revisiting some of my favorite spots in this itinerary, including an idyllic stay in Porto Santo Stefano.
One of the more relaxing weekends I’ve had in a long time. A reminder that they shouldn’t be so sporadic and few in between. As I slowly ease into the new year, and in an effort to return to the joy of writing, there’s a new post on welcoming 2024 - how I’m planning on filling my cup this month, what I’m looking forward to and more simply put, a monthly check-in with myself and with all of you. x
I’ve been holding on to our wedding photos like a secret note in my pocket I just wasn’t ready to share quite yet. I wanted to hold on to the feeling a bit longer, before the moment felt fleeting.
After endless months of planning, weekly budgeting and saving, all the stress, our wedding day was a beautiful coming together of cultures, traditions and worlds. We were showered with love from near and far and we never lost sight of what this day was truly about – celebrating our unexpected love story. A story we will continue to celebrate.
Sharing with you today a small and intimate look at one of the happiest moments of our life together. I really do feel so very lucky to call this man my husband.
Thank you to @nicolettazarifi for capturing our special day on film and to @feelyourfilms for bringing them to life in a video we’ll cherish forever.

I spent the last week back in Chicago after two long years and while I crammed in way too much in 10 short days, I left feeling recharged and at peace...
I got to spend time with my mom and stepdad, even though it`s always too short and too fast; rented my apartment to a lovely couple; saw friends I haven`t seen in years and hit up most of my favorite spots including eating an excessive amount of Chipotle. Chicago weather behaved for us and even put on a fabulous Fall show, my favorite time of year.
And while I know the reasons why I chose to leave Chicago, it doesn`t mean that it`s not still a very important part of my life and of who I am. It seems, sometimes you need to leave home to truly find yourself. I was able to share all these amazing moments, in my (other) city, in our other home, with my husband, family and friends. I know how blessed I am and I never take this life I`ve built for granted.
A small ode to my other city, sweet home Chicago!

Proud to have been able to pen this piece for @hello_going as @airserbia rolls out their first direct flights between Serbia`s capital city of Belgrade and the "Windy City" - and my hometown of Chicago -after a 30-year hiatus.
While this article is meant to act as a comprehensive guide to flying Air Serbia; it is also a nod to Air Serbia’s long history and authentic culture and cuisine making it an affordable and competitive option when looking to hop the pond.
Finally got around to writing the first - of many - posts on Morocco while taking gardening tips from the beautiful Le Jardin Secret - a lush, green oasis in the heart of the medina in Marrakech. #mangogirls
