Hey-o Minneapolis friends!
Did you know? Common Roots Cafe in the Uptown area is where it’s AT.
Common Roots Cafe was recently featured on the Eat Better America Healthy Restaurant Road Trip as a tasty and healthy restaurant in the Minneapolis area. I’ve been hearing good things about this place for a while, so when given the chance to try it out, it was an easy yes!
Although the quantity of food we ate probably doesn’t qualify as healthy (macaroni and cheese with spinach walnut pesto, basil, mozzarella and Parmesan as a STARTER), it felt awesome to enjoy a meal of fresh, organic, creative food that was locally sourced.

This breakfast is my baby.
Ever since February when I needed a break from those yummy pumpkin oats, I’ve been getting myself out of bed with this. Every.single.day.

Hot, fresh, baked spicy fries are going to come out of your oven tonight. They just are. And I’m putting you under citizen’s arrest if you don’t cover your face in garlic cheese sauce.
Did I say face? I meant fries. Fries, face, maybe both.
As you can see from my extreme close-up photos, I’m having trouble keeping my face away from these little guys.

You guysss.
I’m looking at the world through Mexican-flavored glasses.
I may not definitely do not have the looks, the suave, or the rhythm whatsoever, but I swear I have Mexican flavors in my soul. Mexi-Italian fusion skinny pasta? I’m telling you, it’s gotta be in my soul.
I did take salsa lessons once.
I would be lying if I told you it was just a teensy bit bad. Ay caramba.

Sometimes I get to the end of the day and realize that I didn’t eat ANY vegetables all day. Like, zero. Usually it’s a Monday and it’s the day after Easter.
Wait, are there vegetables in teriyaki buffalo chicken wings?
No? No.

Easter Highlight #9: Wearing my sunglasses minus one sun glass and not being the first to realize it.
Easter Highlight #8: “Daddy Took the Bunny” – an original vocal composition by Bjork sung from behind the wheel of a Honda Accord. This is seriously my life.
Easter Highlight #7: Cheesy potatoes take two.

I'm a teacher, pug lover, and dessert enthusiast. When not in the classroom, I'm in the kitchen. And when not in the kitchen, I'm in a food coma. Juuust kidding. Pinch of Yum is a place where I share pictures and recipes of my favorite foods. Enjoy! -Lindsay
