Yesterday I was scolded for not wearing socks in our new apartment’s wood floors after receiving a splinter in my heel. Who wears socks on wood floors though? I’m certainly not going to!

Have you ever made a collard wrap? Today’s Veda Collard Wrap are inspired by Pickled Planet’s, Veda Sauerkraut that I picked up at our local Whole Foods.
