It is a cloudy and rainy day here. I sure am missing Summer right about now. I’m sure you guys are tired of me complaining about my lack of Sunshine, and hate for Winter. I am so excited for it to be in the 50′s tomorrow.
I cannot believe I just said that.
Since there will actually be a sunny day, we are venturing into NYC in the morning. We are going to check out the Art Museums and have a picnic in Central Park. Yes I will still be bundled up with a cup of coffee in hand, but at least it will begin to feel like Spring is right around the corner!
I have been living off burrito bowls as of late. They are such an easy way to cram in a bunch of high fiber beans and veggies to your diet! I love this recipe, let me know if you try it!
