Hello and say hey to the last day of February, and Friday!
This week it was feeling like spring so I made this hearts of palm salad. It’s one I make during these mid-season blahs.

During my junior and senior years of college, I had this beloved cookie flavor from the art department vending machine at least once a week. I think it’s the only thing that got me through those 3-hour classes.
