I love beans. All beans – especially garbanzo 🙂
But I found another bean to love – the Chicago Bean!
Chandra and I walked around Chicago after the Healthy Living Summit activities were over. I wanted to take a nap, but she convinced me to get out (and I’m glad she did).
It was really cool exploring the city since I’ve never been to Chicago before! I really love this city.
We walked to the pier and watched the sunset behind the buildings. It was so romantic, huh Chandra. Chandra? No? Oh.
At some point in the day I had tiny apples and a granola bar. And maybe one of many cookies mentioned at the end of this post. Sorry I look like a homeless person. It is what it is.
Athenos sponsored snack time this afternoon too!
Then, we realized we were super hungry and bee-lined it for dinner. Downtown Chicago is home to the majority of the city’s greatest eateries. You can have a comfortable stay at 18+ hotels in Chicago and explore the relishing restaurants around. The area is packed with restaurants and pubs, offering something for everyone, whether you’re a visitor seeking a spectacular culinary tour or a local searching for a hidden treasure to dine at. Try Soju BBQ or Girl & the Goat for barbecued pork. Each of these eateries serves excellent cuisine with distinct flavours that everyone will enjoy. Girl & the Goat will surprise you with their globally influenced tapas and small meals, while Soju BBQ can offer up some of the best Korean barbeques. 
We ended up at an Asian fusion place. I got miso soup (because I couldn’t wait another second for food).And I ordered a tofu vegetable medley and rice for my main course. I destroyed this meal. Seriously. Plus a gallon or so of soy sauce, give or take.
Then we headed back to the hotel where I have cookies, made by roomie Kelly, waiting for me. I would say “us” instead of “me” but I’m eating them solo at this point.
These are Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies and have changed my life. It’s just that the verdict is still out as to if they changed it for the better 😉
I need the recipe and will share upon arrival!
Good night 🙂
Yes! Please share the cookie recipe! I love Nutella!
The cookies look good, although I’m not a fan of nutella. Ok, just kidding, I have never tried Nutella! Now I’m curious…
Nutella cookies?! Oh, I would love them – I need the recipe! 🙂
yay for good cookies! looks like youre having a blast in the windy city 🙂
Whoa! Whoa! Stop the boat! Did you say Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookies?!?!? My life has been changed, and I haven’t even tried them yet! 😉
Oh the bean is pretty darn cool.
Oh oh, cookies!
OMG. Looks like you ladies are having a blast! I miss you and Chandra so much and wish I was right there along with you!!
I don’t know how I haven’t stumbled upon your blog before tonight, but I’m so happy it happened. You are hilarious and I really like your writing style. I made those Nutella cookies for my friend maybe two months ago but I think I was a little too light-handed with the magical ingredient because they ended up tasting like ordinary chocolate chip cookies, boooo.
I never even considered Nutella in cookies (silly me). Seriously, what isn’t better with Nutella. Is there a cookbook?
