I like the idea of eating salads, but I am incredibly picky about dressings. I want something that’s fairly healthy and tastes good too! It’s dangerous for me to walk down the salad dressing aisle at the grocery store because so many of them sound good. I usually give in and purchase one, but more often than not after testing it, my exhilaration quickly fades away as I realize it tastes so-so or even worse - disgusting! Read the rest of this entry »

I recently came across a list by Men’s Health of the 20 Worst Foods in America and was appalled by the horrific amount of fat and calories in some of the foods we eat. As I was reading the list, I noticed that Outback Steakhouse came up once or twice. Upon reading the nutrition facts of some of their “specialty dishes,” I decided to NEVER go there again.

It’s almost been a week since Easter, and my family still has leftovers stocked in the fridge. It’s getting hard to cram anything else in the refrigerator, so that means we better finish off that food fast! I was the unofficial photographer on Easter, so I snapped tons of pics of the delicious grub we had. Check out the recipes for the tasty dishes below! Most of the recipes we used are Greek, so you can find loads of them there!

Every Tuesday morning, I’m stuck driving into downtown Chicago, attending three back-to-back classes at Loyola University Chicago, hanging around and doing homework for about an hour and then going to a meeting. It’s a long day, to the say the least. Although I usually pack a light lunch to get me through that second class, during my break between classes and my meeting, I always make sure to head down the block to the wonderful little restaurant, the Soupbox.

For Lent this year, I’ll be giving up meat. It’s day three and I already feel like I’m being majorly challenged. I’m a picky eater as it is, so cutting out all my chicken and beef isn’t giving me as many options for dinner. The first year that I fasted from meat, I was eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches almost every day.
