Well, that backfired in the way of a massive caffeine headache, minor flu, and my body being all like “why you think you can take away everything we love at once? Not happening.” Not happening indeed. That little cleanse lasted about 3 days before I was like “give me all the coffee and wine and tortilla chips. Muahahahaha.” Even though things are back to “normal” these days and I have all of my loves back in my life, I’m still craving lotsa whole foods. There’s nothing like a vacation filled with overindulgence to send you running back into the arms of your beloved salad. Me: “I’m so sorry I ever left you. Please, please, please take me back.” Salad: “OK, fine.” This salad is everything good about winter all rolled into one.
