Weekly Pick: United Run for the Zoo

Take a run through the Lincoln Park Zoo this Sunday for the United Run for the Zoo. This race is one of Chicago's oldest running events and probably the most entertaining since you actually run past the animals. I'll be running the 10k so if you're in Chicago stop by and cheer me on!

Tasty Tuesday: Dinotto

Now that it's officially summer it's time to scope out all the best patio spots in the city. So if you're looking for some amazing Italian food and one of the best outdoor patios in Old Town head on over to Dinotto. This restaurant is cute and cozy (which is exactly how an Italian restaurant should be) and the food and wine menu offer something for everyone. I'll definitely be back to this patio before the end of the summer!

Tasty Tuesday: Salted Brown Butter Crispy Treats

I found this amazing recipe on Cupcakes & Cashmere for Salted Brown Butter Crispy Treats from Smitten Kitchen. I was a little skeptical at first because I love the classic Rice Krispie treats but these were a huge hit. The brown butter gives them a nutty caramel taste, and the sea salt produces the perfect sweet/salty flavor. This recipe is a keeper.
