Spring is officially upon us. And with it comes a new season and all the change this season brings. We hope you are enjoying the extra sunshine and all that is blooming. We can’t think of the Easter bunny without thinking about carrots. Our carrot granola crumble takes a new spin on a traditional dessert. We think the Easter bunny would approve and hope you do too 😊.
