What’s for Dinner?

It’s a week of festivities, plain and simple. My birthday, for one, which is always celebrated  in a mom’s choice kind of way. And this year happens to share a date with the Academy Awards, one of my favorite holidays! My veggies will star in a pizza, bubbly, and cake kind of celebration. As if that’s not enough, Mardi Gras falls mid-week, and certainly a little red beans and rice (+kale) is in order!
