Summertime in the Chi

The Magic of Chicago and Lakeshore Vibes

From one of my favorite songs by Hayley May, John Summit, and Lee Foss:

And there ain’t no city that is quite this pretty
Like summertime in the Chi
As the breeze is blowin’, breathing in this moment
And we ride down Lakeshore Drive

You can’t argue with that—Chicago in the summer is pure magic. If you haven’t experienced it yet, what are you waiting for? During my Upper Midwest adventure this past July, I squeezed in a stop in the Windy City to meet with a couple of potential clients. Spoiler: the trip delivered all the charm, views, and vibes you’d expect from “Summertime Chi.”

Assorted plant-based bowls and dishes at Life Alive Organic Café in Boston, Massachusetts

my favorite life alive bowl

Yesterday, I made my version of the Green Goddess Bowl, a dish we made at Life Alive in Boston. It’s Brown Rice topped with Steamed Kale, Broccoli & Tofu, Fresh Avocado and a Ginger Nama Shoyu Sauce. A nutritious, filling and satisfying lunch!
