    Like most other things in life, this blog mostly consists of happy little accidents.

Join me, won’t you?

    Okay, so I know this smoothie is green, but before you run from the room screaming, just check out all the goodness I’ve put in here for you.

    Broccoli for fiber (it’s important), and kale because I love you.
