I’m sorry, guys. I promise streusel-topped butter-laden apple-y pumpkin-y things are coming soon, but just not today. Besides, it’s the official last day of summer!

This is an issue I feel strongly impassioned about. Homemade ice cream for the people!

Hello everyone – hope you’re having an awesome week! We had so much fun with my parents and little brother last weekend. We managed to tour Northwestern, see an outdoor concert, ride bikes along Lake Michigan, spend an afternoon at the Art Institute, and eat our faces off all weekend, so I’d say it was an insanely successful Chicago visit! Here are my foodie favorites for this week.
