It’s been far too long since my last 2017 update, hasn’t it? I can’t believe we’re already halfway through the year! SO much has been happening, and as I looked back through the past three months, it’s no surprise to see that the majority of my recap photos are of food. ?

The past few months have been busy with wrapping up the end of the school year and planning my 5-week travels across the world (say whhhaaaa?!?) and let’s see what else…

April – June

Minneapolis | Fork in the Kitchen

pics 1-3: Mom-Daughter date night to see Wicked and a leisurely dinner at Mercy beforehand.

pics 4-6: We started the Jucy Lucy tour – spelled wrong on purpose – this Minnesota classic of a burger with melty cheese INSIDE is long debated over “who makes it best”. The first stops in the tour: Blue Door Pub and Matt’s Bar. The jury is still out on the winning burger. There are several restaurants to still try out. Stay posted…

pics 7-12: Enjoying new restaurants all around the cities… Sun Street Breads, Anchor Fish and Chips, Glam Doll Donuts, Young Joni, Birchwood Cafe, Wok in the Park… I could go on and on and on…

pics 13-15: First Caprese salad of the season, sangria of the season, spring walks of the season…

pics 16-18: Farmer’s Market season, Grand Ole Creamery, Minneapolis sunsets

pics 19-21: Spitz – my new favorite place. Mediterranean Street Cart Fries are coming to FITK ASAP! Mother’s day with my tattoo-matching-mother-bestie. ZZ Ward concert!

pics 22-33: CHICAGO! Rooftop bars, brunch with sassy sangria, boat tours, deep dish pizza, French bakeries, and so much exploring!

It has been quite the whirlwind year so far. Tell me! What have you been up to the past 3 months? Can’t wait to hear about it and share more with you in the upcoming months.
