peanut butter yogurt

Hello friends, I hope you had a good Easter. Where I live in Texas, we are excited about the eclipse on Monday. Reportedly, my backyard is "in the path." I wish you could join me.

Even if you're not a fan of spinach on your plate, I'm confident you'll enjoy it in my latest bread machine recipe. The spinach adds interest and a fresh feel, but it doesn't overwhelm the rich tastes of sweet caramelized onions (don't worry, you don't have to caramelize onions to make this bread) and Parmesan cheese.
