While in LA for work we checked out @mrsfishla and it was worth the hype!

Got to spend some time with @matrescencefitnesscoaching

Sometimes a place that has a great ambiance doesn’t match with the food, but that is not the case here.

We did the special where you got a free drink at their sister restaurant @perchlosangeles . We got the 4 course prix fixe menu, with marinated cucumber, potato salad, wonton slam tacos, a nigiri platter, and yuzu cheesecake.

Everything was amazing!

My drink was the OTONANO AMASA
haku vodka, matcha, calpico, yuzu, green tea. It was delicious!!

I made the viral dirty cabbage and it was so good!

I always forget about cabbage as a veggie but I love it!

This had cabbage, Italian sausage, chopped peppers and onions, tomato paste, beef broth, and garlic!

So filling - high protein, low carb!

5 ingredient @traderjoes meal!

Whole wheat pita, olive tapenade, hummus, cucumber, chicken.

This is perfect when you need something easy, or when it’s too hot to cook!

Come with me to Bend, Oregon.

We stayed at @tetherowresort and the homes were absolutely stunning and big enough to fit our large group. We had access to all of the amenities too!

We went on a hike at Tumalo Falls which was absolutely gorgeous. We tubed down Tumalo River, and explored downtown Bend.

On my last day I even had time to enjoy @mcmenaminsosf Soaking Pool which is only $10 for an hour and it was an amazing way to end my trip!

The one pan curry dumplings are sooo bomb!

I used @nicolemcmom recipe and it’s such an easy weeknight meal that you can add to many things. I paired mine with a cucumber salad and it was perfect! The curry gives some extra flavor that you don’t normally have with dumplings and adds some flavor to your meals!

I travel to Tahoe monthly and it’s my favorite little getaway.

Whenever I’m solo traveling here I love grabbing some dinner and eating at the beach. I stopped at Sonney’s BBQ and got a brisket sandwich and went to read at Kiva Beach. It’s always so beautiful.

I ended my night with ice cream from @castlerockcreamery. Their flavors are always on unique and good!

Early morning I did some lakeside yoga with @tahoerisingyogacenter and if I could start every morning like this I totally would!

Summer time is my favorite for matching sets! I just got back from Hawaii and felt like it was the easiest thing to throw on while still looking put together and being able to get some movement in. Brands are tagged in the photos! by @balanced_des

Lettuce Wraps are one of my favorite meals when I want something fresh and healthy! They’re so easy to put together and they do great for leftovers for meal prep.

One year of consistency, a year ago I switched from Pilates to weightlifting and it has made a huge difference. It’s so fun to see myself getting stronger and I’m doing things. I’ve never thought I’d be able to do. I’m running races, lifting heavy weights and just set up for my first Hyrox and I’m not even done yet!

Tuna Pasta Salad inspo from @jackiehartlaub_

This meal is so easy to make, allows for a good amount of protein, and makes enough to have extra for additional meals! I also loved this for a hot day because it doesn’t involve a ton of cooking! I will definitely be making this again!
