Breakfast Day 22
Bread made with home ground whole wheat flour [source: Eatwell] and Butter [source: Straus] Salt. It has come to my attention that Napa Valley Naturals Olive Oil may not be made with olives from Napa. It's not a brand I would normally use, but I happened to have some in the pantry that needs using up. I don't have time to research or contact the company to find out more right now, so I am giving this product a new category colour: "grey area"! [source: Napa Valley Naturals],
