Ok I don’t know about you but I’m ready to lighten things up around here.  The last couple weeks have been all about histamine intolerance, thyroid disorders, diabetes, and leaky gut.

I planted a heck of a lot of arugula in my garden his year so be prepared to see a lot of arugula recipes in the coming weeks 🙂

This recipe is quite sweet and it’s not something we make every day but it’s fun to add some sweetness to balance out the spice of the arugula.

Stay tuned for more arugula recipes cause there was a lot of it in that raised bed I harvested this past weekend!
