My sister (Emily Dean) started a blog of all the delicious recipes she's tried and her family enjoyed. I thought it was a great idea! Instead of having to remember what book or website or magazine I found recipes, I thought I would compile them into a blog. I may not be completely consistent with entries, but it's not really for you anyway. However, feel free to enjoy any of these recipes! I will try to add notes after I cook/bake them. Happy Cooking!

Chicago...chicago...the talk of the town...
My friend Anna Parker and I decided last year, after a trip to NY, NY, that we would take a trip in the states every year until we could afford to have a grand trip to Europe or Hawaii or somewhere wonderful. This year we went to Chicago. Neither one of us had ever been so it was a good choice. We decided to drive because we needed a good road trip. We drove up to South Bend, Indiana to tour the Notre Dame campus. It was beautiful!! Good decision to do that. We had to drive through Gary, Indiana...Gary, Indiana...Gary, Indiana..(Music Man anyone?) and arrived in Chicago about 8pm, checked in our lovely Travelodge (which is a great step up from the hostel we stayed at in NY!) and walked around. Chicago is absolutely beautiful at night! While there, we went to the History museum and the museum of Science and Industry, a double decker bus tour, hung out at the 'bean,' went to Navy Pier, went to Second City (which was hilarious!), went to a Cubs game (Go Cubies!) ate a piece of pizza the size of my head (for only $5!) and walked about 10 miles a day. We had an incredible time and I hope it makes it back in the rotation sometime soon. If you haven't been, I highly suggest taking a long weekend trip!
