Avocado Toasties

Let's begin with something simple. These delicious open faced sandwiches could not be easier to make and are a perfect summer lunch! I found this wonderful recipe in my Chloe's Kitchen cookbook. (Highly recommend) They make this California girl feel right at home.

Avocado Toasties:
Sliced bread (I like sourdough, but I'm sure it would be great with anything!)
1/2 ripe avocado, pitted and sliced
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Red Pepper Flakes

Toast up the bread on both sides. Spread out the avocado between the 2 slices. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Chloe also suggests a light squirt of lemon, but I prefer it without. Feel free to try it both ways!

Welcome!

I am so excited to begin this blogging journey. I have tried a few before, and like many endeavors, they often burn out over time. But my renewed love of cooking this summer better be here to stay, and creating this blog just allows me a record of some of the fun, new dishes I try out. It is also a place that I hope you can borrow ideas from, or even add comments with your own successful ideas! My dream goal is to post once a day with a good foodie idea, but I am realistic that shooting for perhaps 5 days a week is a better starting point. I am going to pull out a few posts from the past week all at once, as it has been a rather delicious week in this house! Finally, I want to credit my awesome husband for all of the pictures on this blog. His photography skills are amazing and he makes all of my food look so good. Bon Appetit!
