I’m super excited about the new eco-friendly, sustainable Garden Collection from H&M!  The collection is fun, flirty and full of flowers for summer!  The bulk of the collection is $29.95 so it’s insanely affordable.  The collection launches tomorrow – March 25!

Did you know cocoa is one of the most highly sprayed products in the world?  I didn’t know that until I just read it from EcoFabulous.  I’m a huge fan of Green & Black’s chocolate, which is organic, sustainable and decadent.  It is the kind of chocolate that you savor rather than chow down the entire bar as fast as you can.  YUM!

Terragusto – Chicago

TERRAGUSTO-CHICAGO

Saturday night I finally was able to score a reservation at Terragusto on Armitage.  Since they opened the new location several months ago I’ve been trying to go but I never call far enough in advance, somehow I actually called on Saturday was able to grab a reservation for that evening!

The venue is small and intimate with low lighting.  The service is attentive but not intrusive.

The house wine is only $4 a glass or you can BYOB.  The organic pasta is made fresh daily and they use local and sustainable products whenever possible.

Salad - I didn't have this but as there were no photos online of what I ate I thought this would be beautiful to display!

My girlfriend and I split the “sformato” which is a silky, warm vegetable custard topped with mushrooms.  It was extremely light and melted in your mouth.  For my entree I had a wide ribbon pasta with portobella musrooms, red pepers and onions in a mushroom ragu.  The sauce wasn’t heavily poured on just enough to cover the noodles but not drown them.  It was phenomenal!  I’m already looking forward to going back and taking Eric since he’s been wanting to go as well.  The pasta was so fresh and the dish itself was full of flavor.  The portions are just right – they leave you full, not stuffed and you’re likely to not bring anything home.
