Courtesy of NaturesPath.com Recently while perusing the cereal aisle I found Nature’s Path Peanut Butter granola. Their packaging has changed so it may look new.

Meyer Lemons must be the most magical little citrus bursts on the planet. Ever since we first met, I’ve been enchanted, delighted and surprised by their sweety-tart, lemony-orange exuberance. They provide a brilliant lemon flavor in essence of mandarin orange without the acidity. They can be used in any recipe that calls for lemons and […]
