Rainier cherry season is my favorite! Also, today is my favorite holiday of the year - Summer Solstice! The longest "day" of the year which means the most sun ☀️ too bad it's pouring in Chicgao right now but I'll be able to spend the lovely long days in Denver this weekend!!! Can't wait 😁 . . . . . #cherries #cherryseason #rainiercherries #snack #organic #fruit #nutrients #nutrientdense #fiber #paleo #primal #glutenfree #grainfree #dairyfree #health #healthy #realfood #jerf #wholefoods #sweet #sweettooth #yum #TFFtravels (at Chicago, Illinois)

You have two minutes to call. Do it now. If you don't know what to say @indivisibleteam has scripts you can read. The immigration policy of separating families is evil, hard stop. #keepfamiliestogether Repost from @oliviawilde

Lunch was spectacular. The food and the company 😘 @sawa2993. If you live in Minneapolis and haven't tried Kado no Miss yet you MUST. 🤤💕✨ . . . . . #sushi #fresh #fish #local #mpls #minneapolis #minneapolisblogger #mn #bestoftwincities #glutenfree #teamwhiterice #dairyfree #health #healthy #realfood #wholefoods #yum (at Kado no Mise)

New go-to lunch lately has been buffalo chicken salad wrapped in blanched collard greens! Super easy, quick(ish) to prep, Whole30 approved, and delish 😁 I don't have a recipe, but would anyone want it?! . . . . . #lunch #buffalochicken #collardgreens #collardwrap #whole30 #paleo #primal #glutenfree #grainfree #dairyfree #sugarfree #easy #mealprep #healthy #health #morevegetablesthanavegetarian #freerange #local #farmfresh #realfood #wholefoods (at Minnehaha, Minneapolis)

Local pork chops rubbed with @samehwadi's Garam Masala spice blend and braised lemony kale 😍 Super happy I made 4 chops so I can eat another tomorrow! . . . . . #dinner #porkchops #local #pastureraised #pasturedpork #kale #garammasala #spices #healthy #health #diet #paleo #primal #whole30 #glutenfree #grainfree #dairyfree #sugarfree #easy #realfood #wholefood #fresh #yumtown (at Minnehaha, Minneapolis)

Homemade "Chipotle" from @40aprons was pretty great! We added @tillamook white cheddar because *yum* and subbed Anaheim peppers for poblano because our co-op didn't have them. A little more intensive of a recipe than I normally make (ie too many dishes and lots of veggie prep) but it tastes amazing! . . . . . #dinner #paleoish #primal #glutenfree #grainfree #morevegetablesthanavegetarian #cauliflowerrice #chipotle #health #healthy #healthyfats #pastureraised #grassfedbeef #local #organic #realfood #jerf #fit #fitness #fuel #yum (at Minnehaha, Minneapolis)

A surefire way to make your healthy smoothie better is to add a big scoop of vanilla ice cream 😉 It is a holiday weekend after all! Hope everyone is having a lovely day! (at Minnehaha, Minneapolis)

After having a couple alcoholic beverages at a wedding last night beer didnt sound good today for being on the lake. Switchel to the rescue! Perfect way to stay hydrated and up on electrolytes 😍 I always post about the lavender lemon flavor but it's the BEST! Next time you need a boating, hiking, grilling, etc beverage you should really try switchel if you haven't! . . . . . #switchel #superiorswitchel #ambassador #drinkswitchel #drinksuperior #mn #minnesota #minneapolis #lake #lakelife #minnetonka #hydrate #natural #naturalenergydrink #thirstquencher #lavender #lemon #yum (at Lake Minnetonka)

Dinner! Big roasted sweet potato filled with ground beef/pork and a sunshine sauce on top 😍 this was too much food for one sitting but it was incredibly satisfying. So happy for the long weekend ahead! . . . . . #local#csa#pasturedpork#grassfedbeef#properlyraised#cleaneating#fresh#hashtagpaleo#instafood#eattolive#healthy#grainfree#glutenfree#dairyfree#crapfree#eatrealfood#fuel#fuelyourhustle#womenwholift#fit#fitness#health#strongwomen#strong#paleo#paleodiet#paleolifestyle#primal#jerf#realfood (at Minnehaha, Minneapolis)

Hey, ladies! Has anyone heard of, tried, or is currently practicing seed cycling?! I'm in the process of making some changes to try and regulate/lengthen my cycle and banish the *awful* cramps I get every 26 days! This is a jar of freshly ground flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds that I will take two tbsp of daily for the next 14 days. After that I will be switching over to ground sesame seeds and sunflower seeds! If you're interested in learning more I recommend Googling "seed cycling chart" 💛 if you've tried it, what has your experience been?! . . . . . #seedcycling #cycle #fertility #womenshealth #regulating #health #diet #nutrition #nutrients #women #hormones #balancinghormones #estrogen #progesterone #female

It's finally feeling like full on patio weather and I'm craving #allthesalads 😁 mixed greens, cinnamon honey dressing, apples, Michigan cherries, walnuts, and goat cheese plus some chicken for peotein. Super good and just what I needed! . . . . . #salad #michigan #TFFtravels #traveleats #grandrapids #thegreenwell #healthy #realfood #fresh #morevegetablesthanavegetarian #health #greens #local #paleo #primal #glutenfree #grainfree #delish (at The Green Well Gastro Pub)

Our day so far! Delish patio brunch, Portland Saturday Market, checked out Multnomah Falls, drove some of the scenic highway, and ended up at Vista House & Chanticleer Point 😁 Heading out soon for a beer with a friend and then dinner somewhere downtown! Portland, you're pretty great! . . . . . #portland #oregon #pdx #TFFtravels #scenic #travel #brunch #breakfast #tinshedgardencafe #coffee #waterfall #multnomahfalls #vistahouse #chanticleerpoint #hiking #fitness #traveloregon (at Portland, Oregon)

Hiked Beacon Rock with my best friend today. It was tough but the views we're absolutely worth it!!! We also walked to a fantastic brunch, had fancy cocktails with incredible bar food (best nachos of my life), and topped it off with a scoop of ice cream 😁 Fantastic first day in Portland! Loving it here 💕 I can't believe it's taken me this long to get here! . . . . . #portland #pdx #pnw #washingtonstate #oregon #hiking #beaconrock #beaconrockstatepark #travel #vacation #mountains #scenery #scenic #traveloregon #beauty #nature #neaturewalk #neature #thatsprettyneat #accomplished (at Beacon Rock State Park)

First stop in Portland is obviously brunch! This potato hash with pork belly was one of the best things I've EVER eaten! 😍🤤 The beautiful hotcakes were also super good but a little too sweet and rich after the Whole30. The coffee was also amazing! If I lived here I would go to Proud Mary like once a week! Ready to go hike and work off some of the sugar we consumed! . . . . . #portland #pdx #proudmarycoffee #brunch #hash #porkbelly #poachedegg #hotcakes #coffee #cafe #TFFtravels #traveleats #yum #vacation (at Proud Mary Coffee)

Here are my Whole30 results! My #transformationtuesday isn't that impressive visually BUT I had a ton of #nonscalevictories 😁 Got a bit more muscle definition, less bloated, my digestion is better, sleep has improved and waking up is much easier, my skin is clear and bright, and I'm feeling happier and less anxious! Very happy I did it and very happy to have chocolate, protein shakes, and some grains again! #whole30 . . . . . #day31 #complete #transformation #change #diet #health #realfood #paleo #primal #glutenfree #grainfree #dairyfree #sugarfree #soyfree #beforeandafter #success #minneapolisblogger #strong #fit #fitness #fitnessaddict #womenwholift #strength (at Minnehaha, Minneapolis)
