Netflix Show “Our Planet” 

This show is by far one of my favorites. Not only because of the pure tranquility it brings to everyone watching, but also because of what you’re watching. Each episode focuses on a different ecosystem, and what each one encompasses. My personal favorite is “Jungles”, but they are all good watches. Plus, the narration of each episode is so calming, and interesting. It is overall just a great show to have on whether you want to focus on it, or just to have playing in the background. Whether you’re an outdoorsy person or not, I am certain that anyone can find interest in this show.

Ferentino’s Chicken Caesar Salad

When it comes to mastering something as simple as a chicken caesar salad, Ferentinos has got it down to a science. With lettuce, egg, croutons, chicken, and parmesan all included in their caesar,  they really deliver the full package. In my opinion one thing that is key to a good caesar salad is the dressing, and Ferentions has one of the best. Instead of  a creamy caesar dressing, they top theirs off with a more vinaigrette type of caesar dressing that really brings the whole salad to life. Definitely the best chicken caesar salad the community has to offer. 

Looking For Alaska  by John Green 

Being the first of John Green’s many novels, Looking For Alaska is definitely  a book to remember. I am not what one would call an avid reader, but this book is one I really did enjoy. Being a story in which events and characters are grounded in John Green’s real life, this story really puts a lot of  things in perspective. It is a great coming of age story that is without a doubt a page turner.  

Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve

Located just off of Sheridan Rd. lies the somewhat hidden gem that is the Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve. I’d be surprised if anyone didn’t enjoy a nice walk at this place. With some great trails, and a view of Lake Michigan this is the perfect environment to go to escape reality, and get a breath of fresh air. Whether you’re with friends, family, or alone this place never fails. Fort Sheridan Forest Preserve is also a favorite amongst our four legged friends, so next time your pooch is giving you that sad sad look I highly suggest taking them here to make them the happiest dog in the world. 

Themed Dinners 

Over the past couple months my friends and I have done themed dinners. By themes I don’t mean like 80’s or neon themed, I’m talking more about a theme within the cuisine. Every month we pick a different theme of food to cook, then we assign certain dishes to make, and all come together bringing our assigned dish for a meal at one of our houses! We have successfully pulled off a mexican cuisine, italian cuisine, and southern cuisine night in hopes of many more dinners in the future. This is something that we all really enjoy and I highly recommend it because there’s nothing better than some great food and some even better company.
