\"Hot<\/p>\n

Oh man. You guys, I am exhausted<\/em> in the best possible way - the way that only comes after a weekend in the sun, camping within earshot of the waves, and surrounded by a million new friends. This weekend was a total push outside my comfort zone - I spent all weekend with 11 other people who I didn't know\u2026 like, at all. With no buffer. Friends of friends! THROWN TO THE WOLVES! JK, they weren't wolves (but we did determine a lynx, arctic hare, and flying fish among our spirit animals).<\/p>\n

\"Hot<\/p>\n

This is precisely the type of situation I'd normally say \"Um heck no that's terrifying\" to, but \u2026 not anymore! And I'm SO glad I went! We surfed all day Saturday, got pizza, crammed everyone into a tiny campsite (thank you kind rangers who didn't make a fuss!), and did it all again on Sunday. Once we were all surfed out, we just sat on the beach enjoying the company, scenery, and post-surf exhaustion. Seriously, good times. I know I say this pretty much every week, but I'm SO glad to be back in Portland. The people here are top notch!!<\/p>\n

\"Hot<\/p>\n

Now it's a Monday to rival all Mondays (read: can't get out of my sweats and will likely be drinking hot beverages allllll day long), and it's feeling super fall-ish! It's gray (yay!) and slightly drizzly (yay!) and perfect for hot food. I am PSYCHED FOR HOT FOOD! Just wait until I start cranking out soups again - are you guys excited? I'm so excited.<\/p>\n

For now, we'll stick with easier hot things. THIS DIP! This is kind of ridiculously simple\u2026 mostly just cooking the kale, and melting the cheese. It's that easy. And you know how I feel about goat cheese! But HOT goat cheese? Yeah, it just goes up a a notch. This is the distant cousin to spinach artichoke dip - but with substantially less cheese, and kale as the main veg attraction. I'm in.<\/p>\n

\"Hot<\/p>\n

Did you guys have a good weekend? Do anything fun? What's up this week? I'm getting ready for FEAST<\/a>! and all the goodies that come with that. Mostly that means I'm trying to eat veggies and exercise in preparation for the massive amounts of food\/drink I'll be consuming this weekend. GET READY!<\/p>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>
