Happy February, everyone! January has been a doozy of a month for me, for many of us. I’m sorry to report that I haven’t stuck to my new year’s resolutions. I still wake up to check my emails and social media accounts the moment I roll out of bed (sometimes, while I’m still in bed). In an attempt to declutter the house, I managed to create more clutter–I have cardboard boxes lying all over my house. Yikes! Despite my apparent inability to commit to life goals at the moment, I am not discouraged. It’s a brand new month. Let’s whip up another green smoothie and seize the moment! Without further ado, here’s the February produce guide!
