Healthy Spring Recipes From Prevention.com

Tomorrow is the first day of Spring. I had this dream before I woke up and I saw the most bluest sky ever. Everything was so bright and colourful and warm. Reality hit when I woke up to dull gray. I wanted to stay in bed because there was nothing to signify spring was around the corner. Besides the fact I had work to do and I had to haul my butt out of bed, I'm glad I did.

I printed out a coupon for a buy one get one free Dairy Queen blizzard treat. The gray sky is slowly becoming a blue sky with white fluffy clouds. The day is looking up. Now, I just found this in my email from my favourite online magazine, Prevention.com.
