Out & About: Chicago Edition
Chicago trip!!! It was GREAT. It was SHORT. I want to go back. I wish I could have spent more than a full day there, but when I think about it, I got to see a lot in such a little amount of time. I was going to post these in My Everyday Life series last week but then I realized that there’s too many of them. So here we go! Out & About: Chicago Edition!
Prosciutto & Fig Panini
Reason #328 why you need a panini press: PROSCIUTTO & FIG PANINI. Because juicy black missions figs (which are currently in season) are sandwiched between salty prosciutto, peppery arugula, creamy brie & mozzarella and sweet fig jam in this extraordinary panini. You are kinda missing out.
It’s like a fancy salad meets a fancy sandwich.
A sweet and savory crispy crunchy OMG look at those sexy grill marks SANDWICH. Need anymore reasons?
I’m here to discuss!

That time I saw Oprah…
Hello friends!
I just got back from a SUPER quick trip to Chicago and unfortunately don’t have a recipe for you today. BUT! I have a good reason. I traveled with my friend Amy (who worked hard at getting tickets) to see the live taping of Oprah and Dr. Brené Brown’s Lifeclass!!!!!!!! It was surreal/glorious/life-changing and ahhhh-mazing. I left feeling completely inspired and feel ready to do some serious life work. I also really want to go back to Chicago. That city is awesome and I wanted to eat at SOO many places but only had the chance to eat three meals there. Boo!
Anyways, I need to get settled back in our routine here, but I just wanted to say HELLO and let you know I’m thinking about you. I’ll most likely be chatting with Joy about seeing Oprah on our podcast and am working on a post about my experience & trip to Chicago, so STAY TUNED.
But for now…. OMG OPRAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH. She was sitting in that empty chair right behind us. We were freaking out!
