So for the past few weeks, Tyler has been going kayaking/boating with our friend Raleigh. He'd always come back desperately tired, but full of smiles and stories of how many times he rolled over in his boat in the water, or how he went down a rapid upside down...my thoughts were always...yes, fun. Upside down … Continue reading Nigh Kayaking and Pecan Pina Colada Oats

Garlicky Greens: Kale Edition
Kale is amazing. Seriously, I love it. Flash-cooked, sauteed, steamed. It's got an amazing crunchiness that makes it like candy to me.
