nourishing spring toast recipes
You cannot go wrong with the 1-2-3 toast formula for a quick and nourishing snack or light meal. Step 1: toast slices of high quality, whole grain bread. Step 2: slather with a creamy, rich-tasting spread. Step 3: top with crisp, colorful, seasonal produce. Each of these toasts use that simple formula to brings the essence of spring to your plate. Enjoy!
