Two days ago, I mentioned the generous and wonderful bounty basket that I received from Relay Foods. It was bursting with fresh greens, strawberries, and mint–a wonderful offering, if you ask me.

I hope you all had the most lovely of Christmas celebrations! And that those of you who don’t observe Christmas had a happy Tuesday. My holiday was low key, which was the right mood for this season. There was gift opening by the tree, followed by hot yoga, followed by some time with a good [...]
