Do you ever go on vacation and just sleep? If it’s a beach vacation, I’m especially guilty. I needed a beach vacation so bad, one where I could just relax, drink, eat, sleep, and do nothing. Mexico was the ideal location for me since I love Mexican food. And yes, my Los Cabos post is coming soon. While in Mexico, I found myself taking naps on our balcony where I could hear the sound of beach waves crashing. It was magical, I slept like a baby. The last time I slept outside like that was when I visited India as a kid. I cherished every minute of my time in Mexico because I knew I’d be back at work soon. Getting back to work is always hard the first week, but thank God it’s Friday. 🙂 Onto this Kale Cranberry Curry Wild Rice Salad. Since there’s kale in it technically this qualifies as a salad. This delicious kale salad is flavorful, nutritious, has crunch, and good fats. Enjoy!
