Smoked Salmon, Creme Fraiche on Toast from Nature's Pride

Cool breeze, light traffic on the highway, and warm coffee in hand - it's a beautiful morning. I haven't appreciated life much lately. Sometimes you ignore what you have. As long as you get yourself back and don't take things for granted, that's all good. A lot of things have changed at work, and my health has been not so good. I was frustrated at the situation but on the other hand it's not that bad. It makes me stronger and helps me see things I haven't been able to. When things are changed from the way they used to be, people can have a hard time adjusting to it. Do we just make it seem too difficult? This is nothing compared to those who have more problems or worse problems. I should chin-up, smile, and good things will come.

Life is beautiful but complex. That's the beauty of it. You either enjoy it or don't. I choose to enjoy it.

Nature's Pride is working with Food Buzz to promote their new product. With their generosity, I received one free package of whole wheat bread from Nature's Pride and Food Buzz. Since we tend to make things too complicated, I will make something simple but flavorful. There's no recipe really. You just have to put it together. It's the dish you can't screw up! I cut out bread by using 2" biscuit cutter. They are so cute and good for bite size morsels.

Crunchy from the grains, sweet from raw honey, creamy sour from creme fraiche, and  saltiness from the smoked salmon work beautifully together. It's perfect for an appetizer or cocktail party.

Thank you Nature's Pride for another great product!
