I came across a restaurant that serves naturally raised, local meat, whole fats AND everything they offer is gluten-free, so I had to share! Sassy Spoon, located in the Nokomis neighborhood of Minneapolis, is a gem!

If you think about it, life only happens in the present moment. Deciding to try something new or making a different choice can only happen in the ‘now’ moment. I share this topic because something that derails many people when they want to change their food choices is, “I’ll start tomorrow.” If the changes you’re […]
