'Forn' is 'food' and 'p0rn' combined.

Cool, crisp lettuce. The crunch of celery. Sweet strawberries. The tang of cheese…

We’re moving into warmer temps and fewer clothes. I don’t know about you, but warmer weather means I want lighter foods. I loooooooooooooove salad. And I’m not talking about a side salad. When I eat a salad, it’s my main course.

Lettuce: spinach, kale, spring mix, arugula (I eat iceberg, but not often)...
Veggies: celery, beets, shrooms, carrots, artichoke hearts,cherry/grape tomatoes (yes, techinically fruit)...
Fruits: apple, blueberries, strawberries, mandarin orange, pineapple, craisins...
Cheeses: sharp cheddar, feta, bleu, gorgonzola (no bland cheese for me!)...
Proteins: Salmon, chicken, pecans, walnuts, sunflower seeds, pepitas, BACON...
