Ingredients 2 cup(s) spinach, baby leaves, packed 1/3 cup(s) uncooked orzo 1 cup(s) grape tomatoes, or cherry tomatoes, halved 2 tsp white wine vinegar 1/4 tsp table salt 1/4 tsp black pepper…
  • I'm with you!!! Going through hell in Cali and I only started yesterday - want to fall over dead just doing frigging jumping jacks. I'm determined to make it through the first level without stopping for breath. We CAN DO THIS!!!
