002 – Mini Chication

You guessed it!! I finally got a vacation with the hardworking bf this summer!! We spent a few days in Chicago and it was perfect. Warm weather, good food, and ton of quality time!

Chicago summers are something special. My favorite part of the trip was after hanging with some friends we stumbled into a little Puerto Rican area on our walk home. The art, the music, the food everything was a vibe.

Our last night in town we had dinner at a black owned restaurant, Venture! Trust me you want to add them to the schedule of your next visit because the food was AMAZING!!! Here is what we had:

We also had cheese and corn cake fritter as an appetizer but we devoured it before I could remember to snap a picture!

If you are in Chicago or going I would highly recommend visiting this spot! Your tastebuds will thank you!!

Until next time.

001 – The BE of it All

Have you ever been told to define yourself? The older I get the more I find society, people and life just seem to try to put me in a box. With getting older I have decided to break that. This year I am going to BE everything and nothing if I want. BE creative, BE self-aware, BE a student and an educator, BE a writer, BE uninspired, BE multicultural, BE tired, BE me! I don’t have to be one thing to fit in to anyone’s box. And with this newfound grace and growth mind set, I have a different outlook. What better way to share the journey then to bring you along for the ride?

So welcome to Being Ande Mari. Here is my lifestyle blog where I will share parts of my BEing with you. Join me, it is going to BE MAGICAL!
