wholesome apple & cinnamon breakfast bread
This wholesome apple & cinnamon breakfast bread saved my sanity this morning. Thanks to eye teeth charging their way through her swollen, red and very sore gums Miss G. was once again refusing to eat. She was one very cranky little girl. And rightfully so.

Only requiring 4 ingredients and taking no more than 10 minutes to prepare this simple lunch or supper is superb. Its savoury, wholesome and completely scrumptious. If you're a fan of vegemite you are ...
