Pregnant or TTC? Here’s How to Build Your Baby’s Iron Stores Before Birth ?? Iron matters long before your baby starts solids. In fact, your baby builds their iron stores in the third trimester—and that prenatal foundation can make a huge difference in their growth, energy, and immune resilience postpartum. But good news: you don’t need synthetic supplements to do it. You just need real, traditional foods that support iron absorption, copper balance & gut health. ? How to Support Baby’s Iron Stores Naturally: ✔️ Eat organ meats 1–2x/week (like liver—loaded with iron, copper, B12 & vitamin A) ✔️ Sip meat stock daily with soft meats + sea salt ✔️ Pair iron-rich meals with vitamin C (like sauerkraut, cabbage, citrus) ✔️ Minimize excess grains/legumes that block mineral absorption ✔️ Eat pastured egg yolks, red meat, ghee & root veggies ✔️ Prioritize nutrient synergy: iron + copper + retinol = magic ✔️ Request delayed cord clamping at birth (1–2+ mins at the minimum) ⚠️ Most iron supplements are constipating and poorly absorbed. Traditional foods do more and work with the body’s design—without side effects. ? Building strong iron stores in utero helps your baby: – Thrive through the first 6+ months without needing supplementation – Avoid fatigue, sleep issues, and low appetite – Support brain development & red blood cell production – Lower the risk of early anemia or nutrient depletion This is how our great-grandmothers did it. And it still works. ? ? Want my full blog post? ?

Wrigley’s iteration has roast beef, garlic aioli and a sweet red pepper for garnish.⁠ ⁠ “The jibarito sandwich was actually created here in Chicago,” Mary Ann Culleton, executive chef for Levy at Wrigley Field, said at a preview event Wednesday morning. “We believe we’re the only baseball park featuring that this season.”⁠ ⁠ Tap on our bio link to read more.⁠ ⁠ — — — ⁠ ⁠ Photo 1: The Jibarito Sandwich, a gluten-free option on a plantain bun with roast beef, garlic aioli, lettuce, tomatoes and garlic butter. ⁠ ⁠ Photo 2: The Ranch Bombs come with a spicy honey drizzle. ⁠ ⁠ Photo 3: The Short Rib Sliders feature an 18-hour smoked beef ribs and barbecue sauce.⁠ ⁠ Photo 4: Clark the Cub (left) and Mary-Ann Culleton hold the Baseball Donuts that come with a vanilla frosting as well as a choice of blueberry or strawberry jam in a pipette.⁠ ⁠ Photo 5: The Puffy Taco has carne asada, lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and cheddar in a crispy flour tortilla.⁠ ⁠ Photo 6: The McCain Super Crisp Chili-Lime Fries with tajin seasoning, cotija cheese and corn crema.⁠ ⁠ Photo 7: Featured drinks that will be available at Marquee Classics in Section 117.⁠ ⁠ ?

The James Beard Foundation announced Wednesday the finalists vying for its coveted Restaurant and Chef awards, and among them are five Chicago chefs and restaurants, including first-time nominees Galit (@galit_restaurant) and Kumiko (@barkumiko).⁠ ⁠ “I was just doing some cleaning and repair stuff, and then my phone started blowing up — I was like ‘What’s happening?!’” said Julia Momosé, Kumiko partner and creative director. “It’s really incredible.”⁠ ⁠ Kumiko, a Japanese dining bar in the West Loop, was nominated for Outstanding Bar. Momosé, who has a staff of 18, said Kumiko’s first-ever semifinalist nomination in January was already a whirlwind.⁠ ⁠ “When I first opened Kumiko, awards were always one of those things that I was hopeful for, that the work we were doing would be recognized, someday — but not necessarily that we existed to win the awards,” said Momosé, who won a James Beard Foundation Media Award in 2022 for her book “The Way of the Cocktail.” “We just wanted to exist and simply be a reflection of the heart and dedication and care and talent and passion for hospitality and for food and for beverage.”⁠ ⁠ The James Beard Awards are considered to be among the nation’s most prestigious honors for the culinary industry. This year will also commemorate the 35th anniversary of the awards and celebrate what the foundation calls the “transformative role the awards have played in honoring culinary excellence and shaping the evolution of American food culture.”⁠ ⁠ Along with Kumiko, local finalists include Galit for Outstanding Restaurant, and three Chicago finalists in the Best Chef: Great Lakes category, which encompasses Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio: Thai Dang of HaiSous (@haisouschicago); Chris Jung and Erling Wu-Bower of Maxwells Trading (@maxwellstrading) ; and Noah Sandoval of Oriole (@oriolechi).⁠ ⁠ Tap on our bio link to read more. ⁠ ⁠ -----⁠ ⁠ Photo: Kumiko partner/creative director/mixologist Julia Momose is a James Beard Foundation nominee in the Outstanding Bar category.⁠ ⁠ ?

Starting Dairy or Struggling With Your Toddler? Here’s Where to Begin ?? Healing your child’s gut with GAPS? Don’t skip dairy—just introduce it the right way. Spoiler: it doesn’t start with cheese or yogurt… it starts with whey drops. ? Whey (strained from 24-hour yogurt or kefir) is low in lactose & casein but rich in probiotics. It’s the gentlest way to test dairy tolerance and begin seeding the gut with beneficial bacteria—without triggering symptoms. ? Why Start with Whey? ✔️ Seeds the gut with friendly microbes ✔️ Low allergen potential = gentle for sensitive bellies ✔️ Easier to digest than milk or yogurt ✔️ Helps you see if your toddler’s gut is ready for more dairy ? Start with just 1 drop daily in meat stock or water. If tolerated, double slowly. It’s a tiny step with BIG healing potential. Once whey is tolerated, slowly move through the GAPS dairy stages: ? Ghee → 24-hour yogurt → butter → kefir → aged raw cheese. One at a time, with care. ? Want my full dairy intro guide? ? Comment “INTRO” and I’ll DM you: ? “Introducing Dairy on GAPS: A Step-by-Step Guide Starting with Whey Drops” You’ll get: ✔️ My toddler’s real-life GAPS dairy timeline ✔️ Recipes for homemade yogurt & kefir ✔️ Signs of dairy sensitivity & how to pause safely ✔️ Store-bought brands I trust when raw isn’t available This journey isn’t about perfection—it’s about healing with intention & confidence ? #GAPSDiet #ToddlerNutrition #GutHealingFoods #WheyDrops #HomemadeYogurt #FermentedFoods #DairySensitivity #BabyEczema #HolisticMama #RealFoodKids #WestonAPrice #NourishingTraditions #HealingFromWithin #HomemadeKefir #ToddlerHealth

Zinc for Babies & Toddlers – The Unsung Hero of Growth, Gut & Immunity ??? Zinc may be a trace mineral, but its impact on your little one’s health is massive. From brain development and immune strength to gut repair and mood regulation, zinc is a must-have for toddlers—especially those with eczema, gut issues, or picky eating. Why Zinc Matters: ✔️ Builds the brain & nervous system ✔️ Strengthens immunity and reduces inflammation ✔️ Supports gut lining repair (hello, eczema + sensitivities) ✔️ Helps with appetite, taste, sleep & meltdowns ✔️ Aids in wound healing, collagen & skin barrier strength Common Signs of Zinc Deficiency: – Frequent colds or ear infections – Eczema or diaper rash – Loss of appetite – Poor growth or weight gain – White spots on nails – Tantrums, fatigue, or focus issues Zinc-rich animal foods (like organ meats, beef, lamb, oysters & egg yolks) offer highly bioavailable zinc + synergistic nutrients like vitamin A, copper, and B12. ? You don’t need a supplement—you need nutrient-dense whole foods prepared the right way. ? Want the full guide with: – Zinc benefits for babies & toddlers – How to support absorption – Signs of deficiency – A full list of zinc-rich foods – PLUS 3 toddler-friendly zinc-loaded recipes? ?

Raw Milk, A2/A2 Dairy & 24-Hour Yogurt for Babies & Toddlers ?? Thinking of introducing dairy but your little one has eczema, reflux, or a sensitive tummy? You’re not alone—and you don’t have to avoid it forever. The secret is choosing traditional, properly-sourced dairy that nourishes the gut instead of stressing it. ✅ My go-to gut-healing dairy picks: ? Raw milk (sourced safely) – Enzyme-rich, full of bioavailable nutrients & immune support ? A2/A2 dairy (like goat, sheep, Jersey cow) – Easier to digest, less inflammatory ? 24-hour fermented yogurt – Breaks down lactose & casein, loaded with beneficial probiotics ? Breast milk is rich in cholesterol, saturated fat & enzymes—and the right dairy mimics this beautifully when introduced intentionally. ⚠️ Most store-bought yogurts? – Short ferment time – Added sugars, gums, thickeners – Low in active cultures That’s why I make 24-hour yogurt at home using raw or A2 milk, and introduce it gently—paired with meat stock, fermented veggies, or broth-based meals to support the gut lining. ? We waited on cheese until 12 months, starting with raw, aged sheep cheese for vitamin K2 and easier digestion. ? And kefir? GAME. CHANGER. for diversifying gut flora and improving tummy issues, eczema & food sensitivities. ? If your child has eczema, reflux, slow digestion, or nutrient deficiencies, traditional dairy might be the missing gut-healing link. ?

Your baby’s brain is over 60% fat—and breast milk? It’s made up of 50–60% fat too. So why are we still being told saturated fats are “bad”? ?? Breast milk gives us the blueprint for feeding growing babies: ✨ High in saturated & monounsaturated fats ✨ Naturally rich in cholesterol (critical for hormone & brain development) ✨ Very low in unstable PUFAs (polyunsaturated fats), balanced by nature with vitamin E So where did the fear come from? Decades-old studies linked cholesterol to heart disease—without considering inflammation, blood sugar dysregulation, nutrient deficiencies, or the role of ultra-processed foods. ➡️ Even large clinical trials (like the Minnesota Coronary Experiment) found that replacing saturated fats with seed oils lowered cholesterol—but increased mortality risk. ? Here’s the truth parents need to know: ? Saturated fats (like ghee, butter, beef tallow) are stable, nourishing & great for cooking ? PUFAs from seed oils (canola, soy, sunflower) are inflammatory, unstable & highly processed ? PUFA overload contributes to gut issues, eczema, blood sugar crashes, and hormone imbalances ⚠️ Hidden seed oils are everywhere: – “Healthy” baby snacks & puffs – Nut milks & plant-based yogurts – Seed flours, dips & toddler crackers ✅ The solution? Real fat, smart balance: ? Cook with saturated fats ? Include monounsaturated fats like olive oil & avocado ? Get natural PUFA from wild-caught fish, egg yolks & nuts ? Avoid vegetable oils and ultra-processed fats daily ✨ Let’s raise kids on real food that fuels their brain, gut & immunity—not lab-made oils. ? Want the full science + practical tips? ?

Toddlers need protein—but here’s WHY it really matters ??  Part 1 of my Toddler Nutrition Series is all about the right kind of protein for brain development, gut health, immune support & steady growth. ? In the first 5 years, your child is: ✔️ Tripling brain size ✔️ Building tissues, bones & immunity ✔️ Developing mood, memory & metabolism ? But not all protein is created equal. ❌ Powders & puffs? Incomplete + low bioavailability.  ✅ Animal-based proteins are COMPLETE—rich in: – Heme iron – Zinc – B vitamins – Fat-soluble vitamins A, D, K2 Without these, protein doesn’t absorb properly—and your toddler misses out on critical fuel for development. ? Top proteins for toddlers: ? Meat stock (yes, it counts!) ? Pastured egg yolks ? Beef, lamb, chicken ? Wild sardines & salmon ? Raw cheese, kefir, yogurt ? Small amounts of organ meats (like liver) This approach helped my daughter heal eczema, improve digestion & reduce food sensitivities. ? Want my full protein guide + gut-friendly toddler plate ideas? ? Comment PROTEIN and I’ll DM the blog post! ? Need my FREE guide to real food toddler meals that blend protein, fat & gut support? ?

It’s been more than two years since we’ve held the Critic’s Choice Food Awards.

Did you know your baby’s brain triples in size by age 2? ?? That kind of growth depends on fat—and not the low-fat kind. Healthy, nourishing fats are essential for brain development, hormone production, gut healing, and immune support during infancy and toddlerhood. And what’s breast milk made of? ✔️ Saturated fat ✔️ Cholesterol ✔️ Omega-3s Nature knew exactly what babies need. So if you’re a mama focused on reducing inflammation, supporting digestion, and building long-term health, fat is your friend. Here are 3 of my favorite traditional cooking fats for babies, toddlers (and even dogs): ? Coconut Oil – Antimicrobial, gut-healing, and easy to digest. ? Cultured Ghee – Full of butyrate & fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K. ? Beef Tallow – Rich in CLA, nourishes brain, skin, and gut lining. And don’t forget these 3 powerful whole foods: ? Pastured Egg Yolks – Choline for brain development. ? Avocado – Healthy fats + fiber for steady energy & digestion. ? Wild Salmon or Sardines – DHA-rich for vision & cognitive health. ✨ Want to learn how to use these fats safely, how much to serve, and how to nourish your whole family—baby to dog? ? Comment “FATS” and I’ll send you the guide: “The Essential Healthy Fats Guide for Moms, Babies & Dogs” ??? #HealthyFatsForKids #ToddlerNutrition #BabyBrainDevelopment #GutHealingFoods #NourishedBabies #RealFoodForKids #FoodIsMedicine #HolisticParenting #WAPF

The rising profile of women in the wine business has done much to reshape an industry long considered a boys club.⁠ ⁠ While statistics on women in the American wine industry are scarce, in recent generations women have flourished as winemakers and sommeliers, top executives and critics, educators and more. According to UC Davis, a top incubator for American wine professionals, since the 1990s, roughly half of the graduates of the school’s viticulture and oenology program have been women. In the past decade, the number of women undergraduates enrolled in the program has consistently, albeit slightly, surpassed that of men.⁠ ⁠ The Tribune spoke with four prominent women in Chicago about some of the challenges they’ve faced and how they’ve navigated their careers in wine.⁠ ⁠ Tap on our bio link to read more.⁠ ⁠ -----⁠ ⁠ Photo 1: Alpana Singh, a former master sommelier, is seen at her restaurant Alpana in Chicago on March 14, 2025.⁠ ⁠ Photo 2: Regine Rousseau, a veteran wine educator and sommelier, tries a sample of a 2024 Gassier Côtes de Provence Rosé before appearing on WGN-TV Daytime Chicago for a segment titled “The Rise of Women In Wine” on March 13, 2025.⁠ ⁠ Photo 3: Maverick Beverage Company portfolio manager Rachel Driver Speckan stands for a portrait before hosting a wine dinner at El Che Steakhouse and Bar in Chicago on March 12, 2025.⁠ ⁠ Photo 4: Master sommelier and adjunct professor Jill Zimorski, left, shows Marvin Gibson, 21, right, and Carter Wideman, 22, center, how to open a bottle of brut rosé sparkling wine while teaching a course on wine and beverage management at DePaul University in the Loop on March 11, 2025.⁠ ⁠ ?
