I flew out of Long Beach today and always forget how much I love this airport until I use it. I was checked in and through security in under ten minutes!

Dinner Salad
I think all entree salads should be BIG HUGE. And I love making my own salads and throwing any and all random fridge goodies right in 🙂 There is something so satisfying about throwing all your produce in one big bowl and everything melding well.
