  • Papaya + Berries for Breakfast In Bed

    This breakfast has a very specific purpose: fast breakfast so I have more time to stay in bed with my electric blanket on these cold mornings.  Confession: lately the number of days when I can only get myself up in time to throw my hair up, do some minimal makeup, and get out the door…
