You guys! I’m sorry it’s been such a long time since I’ve posted a recipe. I have a wonderful new job working for the one and only Dr. Mark Hyman (he’s kind of a big deal in the world of nutrition) and to be honest I’ve just been adjusting to a new job and taking my free time away from the computer to enjoy the amazingness of Colorado in the summertime.
