Have you ever eaten a meal and immediately wished you could time travel back to re-live the experience?

Now this isn’t one of those simply make/order another one questions.

Her realization that it was just for the image made her say ‘yes you can use it.’ To my delight.

Those regular work days.

You know the ones that start with Mon and end with Fri.

During those days I tend to eat granola or cereal with yogurt and fruit or something equally as healthy.

They’re often placed in the vegetable category, yet they never assume themselves to be anything but who they are – a savory member of the sweet family.

They can mix with either side. And mix they do, they love to paired with unique and creative ingredients to give your tastebuds a kick.

In simple terms they are a chameleon.
