RECIPE: SIMPLE MIXED TOAST

my sister in law is in town from michigan (where steve was born and raised) and we have been spending much of our time side by side in the kitchen, creating meals together and i absolutely love it.

our little town has a beautiful bakery that makes incredible bread so i picked up a loaf for sunday's dinner but ended up using it monday for breakfast. the sun was shining so incredibly yesterday morning and it was really beautiful making this in our kitchen while they talked at the table over coffee. the fresh flowers made me so happy too (flowers always do that to me actually)
