I mentioned in a previous post that I had never tried asparagus. I know, weird right? I love vegetables, especially green ones. So why did it take me more than 26 years to try this one? I don’t really have a good reason. Finally, curiosity got the better of me and I bought some the […]
I don’t really like breakfast cereal in general, but I heart granola big time. It’s just full of crunchy, oat-y, goodness.
