Every Midwesterner has a different reason for loving the Midwest. Some cite the friendly people, always there to help out a neighbor. Some love it for the sports teams, which are many and well-supported. Some love the sprawling natural beauty, from dunes to lakes and back again.  Me? I love the Midwest because it feels …

One of the best things about the Midwest is its commitment to dairy. In other parts of the world (cough cough the coasts), diary-free options run amok, with oat and almond ruling the average coffee order. And I’m all for that for them.

Cheese curds are a singular delicacy so delicious I’ll forgive them for being a product of Wisconsin. Hey, I can’t help it I had a really annoying art teacher in middle school who was a huge Packers fan so now I have a negative association with all things Cheese Head. Except for the cheese itself, …

‘They don’t serve you enough water in Europe’: Americans develop strange belief that Europe ‘makes you dehydrated’

Americans are obsessed with water. Between Stanley cups, and bottle filling stations, to that bottle that holds scent cartridges that make your water smell good… we’re always getting nifty with our H20. And for good reason! Water is essential to not only survive but thrive. But does that apply when we’re abroad? Apparently not, according …

I recently returned home to the Midwest and it reminded me of how much I love it there. Things move a little bit slower, people are a little bit friendlier, and there’s plenty of green space to take nice walks. The Midwest gets a bad rap for being boring or bland, but to me, it’s …

Ah, corn. The staple crop of the Midwest. It’s not uncommon to see fields and fields of it while driving through the middle of the country. Isn’t there even a name for the kind of madness that overtakes you when you’ve been staring at cornfields for too long? Corn hypnosis? Or am I making that …
