Today was toast day, sorry we didn't get this up ahead of time, but it's here now. This is the link that inspired this great day of MOPS. If you have ever wondered how to make food more creative and didn't think of toast first. After reading this you will! There are so many ways to create ANY tastey meal with toast. It's not just a breakfast food. Today we tried out some of the things that others had brought in, and some were quite good!
