Finding Joy in Healthy Living
Nothing says summer like a creamy, chocolatey, melt in your mouth frosty. And now, you can have the classic treat guilt free!

For as long as I can remember, this Red Leaf Lettuce Salad has been a staple at all of our major family events and get-togethers. Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays… You name it – we always requested it. 😉 In fact, we still request it.

My very first blog post! I’ve been dreaming up this little piece of the internet for months, and I am so excited to finally make it visible to the rest of you. I hope you’ll come often, and stay awhile!
