Kale, Grapefruit, and Pepita Salad: My Diary of Us

This will be the first week in over a month that I will sleep in my own bed for more than five days in a row. I have been to the west coast, to the east coast, and then immediately spent the weekend away in New Orleans. My body is completely out of whack from not eating the right foods and not drinking enough water over the past month. This week I have been on a mission to nourish and be kind to my body because it is SO not used to the mistreatment. That's why my kale, grapefruit, and pepita salad has been the perfect lunch addition to my meal planning this week!

I've been drinking lemon water by the gallon and almost passed out from working out yesterday since I haven't been regularly doing that either...oops. And yeah, why does it take so long to get in shape and so little time to get out of shape? And then there are the cookies that are torturing me on my social media news feed from all of my favorite bloggers and I'm all like "veggies, lemon water, detox, you can do this Leigh Ann."

Butternut Squash, Kale, and Wild Rice Salad: My Diary of Us

Happy Monday guys! How was your Halloween weekend? Did you eat too much candy? We actually didn't get to eat that much candy because we ran out of the goods Halloween night, which was a good thing, but I may or may not have eaten too many of those pumpkin bars that I posted on Friday. I can't resist them at all, and if you missed the recipe then you need to make them! Since it's a new week and a new month, I will be de-sugarfying my body starting with this healthy and really delicious butternut squash, kale, and wild rice salad!

When we were in Florida two weeks ago, my friend Meg made us a wild rice salad with a ton of veggies and grilled chicken. It was so good y'all and I loved the idea of tossing whatever veggies you have in the fridge with some rice and making a meal out of it!
