I'll admit it. I used to hate hashtags. And then I got Twitter. And then Instagram. And then I got sucked in. I am not a crazy hashtagger, but I do use my fair share of them. And because I am feeling rather lazy today, I am going to revert to my new friend- #thehashtag- for this [...]

#WIAW: April 30, 2014 + Mexican Black-Eyed Pea and Barley Salad
April 30, 2014 in Other, Salads, SidesWell that is a mouthful, now isn't it? The truth is, I could not leave out a single word from the title because you need to know that it contains chocolate, peanut butter, and oatmeal.
