blended salad

veggies are so pretty.

i ended up running a bit late to thanksgiving, because i was so captivated by the colors

of the kale and my favorite green bowl.

showing up to a thanksgiving meal late with a salad makes for an

unintended win-win situation.

i ended up bringing much of my salad back home with me, because everyone was already full, but it's so good and i get to have it for lunch today, that's my win.

here's the RECIPE for the garlicky kale salad.

i stopped by the ewings house (the ones who inspired me to start eating this way)

to see the family, as they are all spread across the states

and

be re-inspired for my journey-of-vegetable-love.

patty said one of her favorite things is this:

a blended salad

carrots

spinach

frozen banana

(don't let this fool you, i still have not spelled spinach right on my own)

juice the carrots

blend the carrot juice, spinach and banana.

it was amazingly delicious.

time consuming and my whole dish dryer is full of appliance parts, but it's so worth it to start off the day with something that nutritious.
