    tip for grocery shopping in the city- use a basket instead of a cart so then you know when its becoming too heavy to carry (also easier to maneuver around the usually small busy store)

    I remember when I first moved to downtown Chicago and was wondering how to go about grocery shopping too! One thing I found helpful was to bring a large, empty backpack with me that had lots of space but I would only keep my keys and wallet in it on the way there, then use that to carry groceries home in. That way you can free up a hand or carry more grocery bags by fitting them in the bag as well as carrying them in both hands. Sounds like a little thing but made my life so much easier on long walks with lots of groceries or in the winter!

    For the gnocchi I put it in a microwave safe bowl and add a tiny pot of water and microwave for a minute and 30 seconds and shake around halfway through. Then I pan fry it a little on the stove to get the edges crispy and throw it in the oven and spray them a little w cooking spray at 425 for 17 mins. They come out so good.
