Crusty french bread. It’s my downfall. I basically spend 41% of each day attempting to figure out, “What meal can I create that create a delicious vestibule to dip crusty french bread?” The answer, unfortunately for my carbohydrates intake, is pretty much everything.
Thankfully, this healthy Greek Salad leaves me full enough that my baguette-a-day addiction has dissipated.
