Day #26
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Sean:
Every holiday I make Kristen a holiday themed breakfast. I had to search a bit to find a healthy Valentine’s Day breakfast recipe. (A lot of recipes claim to be healthy.)
This morning I made Kristen Ezekiel bread French toast topped with berries and mini egg and veggie muffins that I arranged into a heart shape. Success!
Why Ezekiel Bread?
