Yes my friends, it seems… (shall I say it)… that spring has sprung?
HALLELUJAH!
To celebrate, meet the perfect recipe to add to your March repertoire. It’s dead on for when you’re just not sure if you want to sludge through the mud and leftover snow to dig out the ol’ grill but you want to keep things light and fresh. Because comfort food is so February and you no longer want to cry because you are deathly cold and stuck in the house eating carbs to find happiness (happy dance, happy dance, happy dance).
Alright. Back to the kitchen, dancing optional. Super light, super healthy, this Old Bay Skillet is just what you need to get one step closer to rocking that itsy bity teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini on spring break. Or this suit (affiliate link) which, in my opinion, is even better. So chic!
Sigh, isn’t spring fun?
