My first “Love with Food” un-boxing video

Every month, Love With Food members receive a curated box of unique bites based on seasonal themes. This monthâ€™s theme was boardwalk. As a Love With Food member, I get to sample different products each month, earn points, and enjoy exclusive discounts to all full-sized products featured in the box.

For every box sold, Love With Food donates a meal to several food banks such as the Feeding America Network and Share Our Strength – No Kid Hungry. So when you join you are helping the more than 16 million children in America who are at risk of hunger.

Try tasty treats + help the hungry = Win!

Here’s a shot of the card that details the items in the box:

Chicago Eats: Pizza, Hot Dogs, and Italian Beef

As always, for me travel plans mean eating plans. Being my third trip to Chicago, I know I want those special items not available elsewhere.

Portillos is the go to place for Chicago Hot Dogs and Italian Beef Sandwiches. I have to remember to go hungry, After eating here, I can’t eat the rest of the day.

Preparing for pizza is mandatory as well. The guys at the train station (last time we arrived in Chicago by train) sent us to Giordano’s and we didn’t regret it one bit.

I’ve been gathering other ideas, but BlogHer usually feeds us so well that I don’t get out much during the conference. But who knows, maybe I’ll have some more finds.

Simple Recipe: Squash blossom quesadillas

Squash Blossom Quesadillas

Squash blossoms have been a surprise hit with us this summer. I’ve made them stuffed with goat cheese and sautÃ©d as a side dish. But this has been by far the easiest, tastiest treatment. Just spread goat cheese on tortillas, fan out the squash blossoms, sprinkle some cheddar and jack then top it all with another tortilla. I just put them in a pan to melt the cheeses together and they were perfect. Grilling would probably work wonderfully.
