What I'm Reading Now: Harry Potter

I know what you're thinking: How has she never read Harry Potter? Well I picked up the first book years ago and just wasn't hooked so I resorted to watching a few of the movies to stay connected to the hype. While walking through the library over the weekend the first book was available so I decided to give it another go and now I'm completely obsessed! Looks like I'll be reading all 7 books for the next few weeks.

Are you a Harry Potter fan?

Tasty Tuesday: 2 Sparrows

Ok if you're on the hunt for a fabulous brunch in Chicago look no further and head over to 2 Sparrows. The food focuses on local produce with a menu full of your brunch favorites all with a gourmet twist. I mean who doesn't love a homemade pop-tart? I ordered the Market Quiche and was loving every bite of the flaky crust and seasonal vegetables. Be prepared for a slightly long wait for a table as this place is on the hot list in Chicago, but the food and service is well worth the wait!
