BRUSCHETTA AND SPINACH TOAST – SIMPLE SNACKING
Follow my blog with BloglovinSnack time is my favorite time of the day 🙂 My savory snacking usually involves vegetables, greens and toast in some creative way but this time I was craving a classic – bruschetta and spinach toast with avocado (toast without avocado – is that even possible?!).
