Strawberry Spinach Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette
Before the new year I decided that I would stop eating meat and go on a plant-based diet. We’re well into the second month of the year and I’m still holding on. It’s actually been easier than I thought it would be because I always preferred fruits and veggies over any type of meat. I…
