I have a new obsession. And yes, I realized I am waaaaay late to the party on this one. It is not because I think kale is gross or that I would not like kale salads. I ate them cheerfully when they were served to me. But massaging the kale? It just sounded a little…

Apple Pie Muesli; Review of Breakfast, Lunch, Tea: Rose Bakery
Soaking the oats the night before means this healthy, delicious breakfast is just quickly stirred together and then ready to eat! Affiliate links were used in this post.
