Yep, it was that kind of weekend!
One of the highlights of the weekend: Tofu Caprese Salad!
I’ve always LOVED traditional Caprese salad….. tomatoes and basil are two foods that I could eat every day and never get sick of them. I find the smell of basil absolutely intoxicating and I love how it jazzes [...]

I'm a school social worker who is also a newlywed (and had a Big Fat Greek Wedding, no less!) living in Chicago. I am starting this blog to talk about the training process I will go through to prepare for the Chicago Marathon, while also raising awareness for Ceasefire, a Chicago anti-violence program.
