Overview:

This blog is a random concoction and blend of my thoughts, interests, and daily observations. Currently, I am a lover of tea, indoor house plants, trying new foods, and learning about different cultures. I work for the public schools and despite all the downsides that most of us are aware of, it is a job that I am grateful for and feel proud to show up at everyday. Some thoughts here will reflect my experiences at work.

Renegade Craft Fair - Chicago

Published on Sunday, September 10, 2017 Leave your thoughts »

Division St, Wicker Park (Sept 9th and 10th)

The Renegade Craft Fair on Division St. is one of my favorite festival type events that takes place in Chicago. They have a fantastic variety of food trucks available along with hundreds of vendors for handmade jewelry, ceramics and pots, home decor and accessories, candles, artwork and prints, perfume, honey and various sauces, and Chicago themed goods such as coasters, tote bags, cutting boards, and more.

 Food Highlights

Empanadus carries my absolute favorite empanadas that I have tried in Chicago. They have heaps of menu options and are served with a delicious chimichurri sauce drizzled on top. It was worth the 20 minute wait in line. We opted for the beef, chicken, and corn fillings. The beef empanada was my favorite due to the finely ground beef, onions, slices of boiled egg, and spices. Complete yummy goodness!
Boo Coo Roux Cajun Centric Cuisine, Food Truck
Another savory and mouthwatering discovery were the Cajun Fries and Shrimp Po-Boy from Boo Coo Roux. Cajun cuisine is a definite weakness of mine and this brought back lovely memories of a New Orleans vacation I took earlier this year, where I devoured a rotation of oysters, po boys, and gumbo for every single meal.
