I'll be the first to admit that I have somewhat strange taste in food. If it's herby and a little out there, I'm sure to love it! When we go out to a fancy place, I usually pick the dish with ingredients I've never heard of in my life. Most of the time I can't get enough of it! I prefer to think of my taste as exotic and adventurous. I never have been simply a "meat & potatoes" kind of girl. I'd much rather have this dish than steak. Weird? I have a flamboyant side, ok! Anyway, Kale has recently become my favorite veggie. Seriously, I bought a HUGE bag on Monday and you really don't want to know how much is left. It is a great ingredient for so many dishes. I've tried a lot of things, but this is my favorite kale meal I've made so far. It's super easy and can be whipped up in under 30 minutes. Enjoy!

Sprit lead me where my trust is without borders Let me walk upon the water Wherever You would call me Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander And my faith will be made stronger In the presence of my Savior (From "Oceans" on Welcome Zion)

This lady next to me is a gem. I can't even describe how wonderful it was to spend the morning with her as we explored this little coastal town. We've been friends for 7 years and counting. She is precious beyond words. Anything is fun with her around! We don't get to see each other too often so we make sure to document everything when we do...or at least I document it. :) I love that we have the same definition of fun. We're both the adventuring type. She does make one great adventuring partner. :)

One of the things I love most about my job is the opportunity to travel. Sure, it can get old, but there is one place that never tire visiting - my hometown. I love Jacksonville. There are so many different areas to explore. This weekend I got to visit some of my old favorites and also found some new places! I'm a "get out and see things" for fun kind of gal, so ate it up! Having my hubby there with me is the only thing that could have made it better. Still, my wonderful family and sweet friends come in a very close second. Anyway, it was a jam-packed few days. Here are a few snippets...
