When your girlfriend who you haven’t seen in a minute sends a photo via text of her backyard garden bounty with the caption, “Would you like any of these?”And the “these” are fresh jalapeños, tomatoes and lettuce you cant help but say, yes! Honestly, I will always be more excited to spend more time with her but all the better when she wants to share the fruits of her labor. We all need friends like that, friends who know what we love and what we will appreciate.

I’m a texture girl by nature I’ll eat just about anything with a crisp or crunch. Well, just about anything. Granola has always been something I have loved alone or as a topping since I can remember and once I became a mom the term “crunchy mom” was something I couldn’t wait to embrace.
