GREEN GODDESS BOWL
Lou and I are at the age where we have a million weddings. This past Saturday we had two in one day. And don’t get me wrong, I love a good wedding! Lou typically takes full advantage of cocktail hour, as he hits up every station at least twice, and then proceeds to “crush the dance floor.” I also love a good cocktail hour, a well-made dirty martini, and showing off some mom-esque dance moves (love you Mom).
So if you guys are participating in the vegan challenge this month, we totally get that social events are tempting. But when in doubt, remember the advice from my husband, and just eat something else. It’s really that simple!
