    “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around every while in a while, you could miss it.” Bueller? Anyone? Anyone?

    After a hectic two weeks of workshops and travel, I was swimming in a bottomless abyss of emails. Rather than continue to tread water, I hopped out of the endless pool of email to take a chill pill. Quite literally, at Chill Meditation + Massage in River North. The studio opened in Chicago about a year ago and hosts yoga as well as mediation classes that offer a bit of stillness in an urban oasis just down the street from the Merchandise Mart.

And does it even matter? Read on for the desserty dEATs.

    Cauliflower gnocchi – love it or hate it? It should be no surprise that my love saga for cauliflower continues with another hit from @traderjoes. Light and pillowy, these puffs of gnocchi were perfection when slathered in a sage butter sauce. Get the saucey dEATs below!
