Winter Kale Salad
I don’t love eating salads in the winter time because they are usually raw, cold, and give me a sense of lightness.

Pesto Pizza
Guaranteed number one stomach ache for me: pizza Being lactose intolerant and having a gluten sensitivity, pizza is my worst enemy. I remember growing up and having pizza almost every Friday night (I usually ate at least four slices) and then claimed my spot on the couch. My favorite was the thick crust from Jets
