I ate 3/4 of this burger in about 30 seconds before I remembered to take a picture. MELT in Leesburg is consistently rated one of the best burger places not only in the area but the country, and it did not disappoint. I may have said, “this is the most delicious piece of meat I have ever put in my mouth.” Which left my husband speechless at the overwhelming number of potential jokes. But it was damn tasty, and they have gluten free buns!! They’ll also do a lettuce wrap for a paleo option. #triedandtrue #triedandtruerestaurants #glutenfree #novaglutenfree #paleo #paleodining #novapaleo #glutenfreeburger #glutenfreemenu

I picked up these great seasonal finds today from @lidlus. I know not everyone has a Lidl nearby but if you do check it out! . Super cute silicon baking molds, also great for homemade gummies or chocolates; pretty cupcake liners for all your spring and unicorn baking 🦄; two different cuts of grass fed lamb; and a neat 3 plant planter with removable tray—can’t wait to get some cilantro, parsley, and basil in there. . . #paleo #glutenfree #grassfed #lamb #eastergoodies #seasonalfinds #triedandtruefinds #triedandtrue #realfood #paleobaking #glutenfreebaking #lidlfinds #lidl

I’ve only recently realized that it’s ok to give myself permission to NOT like certain “healthy” foods. Like spinach. I don’t like it raw in salads—the rubbery texture freaks me out. I don’t like it cooked—it turns into a slimy squishy mess. Give me kale or collards or chard any day. But I was forcing myself to eat spinach because it’s “good for me.” There’s not many foods I don’t like so I finally told myself, STOP EATING THE SPINACH. Same goes for eggplant. I stopped eating it because I didn’t like the texture of the skin, and I thought, well that’s where all the nutrients are right? So I can’t eat it without the skin, that’s wasteful! 🍆 🍆🍆🍆 Well guess what. I just really love roasted “skinless” eggplant and that’s the way I’m eating it from now on. 🤩 . . #foodfreedom #itsoktohatespinach #paleo #glutenfree #roastedeggplant #veggies #roastedveggies #spinach #realfood #cleaneating #givemeallthekale

#ugliestfoodphotographyever #hotelbreakfast 😂😂😂 . . Hey, it was either this or lucky charms at the “breakfast bar”. I’ll stick with this. So glad I came prepared! . . And who knew, freeze dried sweet potato from @sweetpoawesome and vanilla almond butter from @justins are a pair made in heaven! Rounding out the meal is organic smoked turkey breast from @wegmans. . . #paleotravel #paleohotelmeal #paleobreakfast #travelfood

Crisssssspy broccoli! You can actually hear it crunch when you bite it. It’ll convert any broccoli hater to a broccoli lover! 🥦 🥦 Also, still no working dishwasher (2 weeks today) so parchment paper is saving me, along with paper plates and the Instant Pot. I usually use my silicon mats on roasting trays but used parchment for the broccoli and yucca fries cause it’s sooo easy to clean up. Might actually be hard to go back to the mats after this.... 🤔 ♻️ . . CRISPY BROCCOLI Cut broccoli into long pieces/trees (I don’t know what to call them—however they separate naturally, if you don’t know what I mean look at the picture) (P.S. this is why I don’t write recipes), then rinse and strain. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spreading the pieces so they are not touching. Drizzle with avocado oil (any oil will work but avo results in the best crispy-ness). Lightly sprinkle with sea salt. Roast in the oven at 400 F for about 30 minutes, but start checking after 20. It’s done when it gets to your favorite level of crunch! . . #triedandtrue #triedandtruerecipe #easysidedish #vegetables #crunchyveggies #broccoli #crunchybroccoli #nodishwasher #parchmentpapersavestheday #easycleanup #paleo #glutenfree #dairyfree

My daughter requested tacos tonight and that’s just what I’m in the mood for too! And fortunately I picked up @sietefoods tortillas at @wegmans this week so we are all set. I use this taco seasoning from @rachelcooksblog to season the ground beef for drool-worthy tacos. Visit her site for the full recipe! . . #triedtrue #paleotaco #paleotortilla #tacos #tacoseasoning #homemade #realfood #nofillers #makeityourself

Yummy breakfast with my hubby at @famoustoastery in Ashburn. I love the gluten free options here! I got 2 poached eggs with gluten free toast. I brought a single serve packet of @thrivemkt ghee, smothered the eggs with it, and added sea salt and cracked pepper. So yum! They also have @mightyleaftea, which is so so good—I had Earl Grey but the green tea is great too. . . #triedandtruerestaurants #glutenfree #breakfast #ghee #glutenfreemenu #byoghee

Still no dishwasher. So all meals will be made in the @instantpotofficial until it’s fixed! Last night was Hamburger Soup based on @whatgreatgrandmaate’s recipe. Served on top a bed of organic spinach for extra veggie intake. The heat of the soup wilts the spinach perfectly. . . #triedandtrue #nodishwasher #paleo #glutenfree #dairyfree #easymeals #quickmeal #onepotmeal #soup #hamburgersoup
