Kale Pesto Quinoa Bowls

kale pesto quinoa bowls // my bacon-wrapped life

I’m baaaaaack! Four days later, I’m still recovering from the most incredible weekend filled with champagne, guacamole, and Jell-O shots (hey, I never said it would be classy, okay?).

creamy mango green smoothie // my bacon-wrapped life

I swear, it’s merely a coincidence that my first blog post as a born-again California girl is a green smoothie.

Cross my heart. I made this bad boy when it was the middle of dreary, cold February in Chicago, when it seemed like everyone around me was sneezing and sniffling and I was like, “GREEN SMOOTHIE, HAAAAAALP!” I promise you, my bacon consumption will not decrease one single bit after moving to The Juicing State.
