Recipe: My Favorite Avocado Toast




I just HAD to share this delicious Avocado Toast recipe with you today! It's half a real recipe I found somewhere for inspiration and half my own test. But I assure you, it's delightful! I put my own spin on it by adding some parmesan cheese + a drizzle of honey and oh.my.gosh. The honey makes it!! Four of my favorite foods are on this toast: bread (#noshame), avocado, cheese, and honey.

Ingredients:
- baguette
- olive oil
- avocado
- lemon
- salt, pepper, and I used "everything seasoning" from Trader Joe's
- parmesan cheese
- honey (mine is from Little City Honey)


First I sliced up the bread into small pieces, put a THIN drizzle of olive oil on them, then put them under the broiler to get them a bit toasted.

Next I sliced up my PERFECT avocado. I couldn't believe how amazing this one was! I also cut my lemon to great ready for a few steps from now.



Here's all our ingredients!



Once toasted, I laid a few slices of avocado on each piece of bread, topped with a pinch of salt, pepper, and everyday seasoning. Sprinkle with some parm cheese!

Next I squeezed a dash of lemon juice on top.

Then finished off with a drizzle of honey.

I have to tell you about this honey really quick-- it's a new-to-me company called Little City Honey and I was SO happy to find them because they are local to Michigan! I've heard that it helps your allergies to consume honey that is local. I got a few different types of honey from them to try-- lavender (makes my tea soooo delicious in the morning!), regular honey (used here) and cajun honey (my friends used this on their shrimp they grilled for Memorial Day weekend and said it was great! I don't eat seafood ;))

If you're getting married, they do honey favors in really sweet bottles! Check them out here.


So that's it-- all done! Quick and easy and scrumptious!

What's your favorite avo toast recipe? Please share!!

Happy Wednesday!

Recipe: 10 minute Chinese Chicken Salad


I'm excited to share one of my favorite spring and summer recipes with you today! It's a Chinese Chicken Salad recipe that my mom taught me and it literally takes 10 minutes to put together. #winning

Ingredients:

Chicken (can be a rotisserie chicken, chicken breasts that you grill up or Trader Joe's precooked chicken, like I used this time)
3-4 green onions
A bunch of grapes
1 can mandarin oranges
Butter lettuce
Romaine lettuce
Crispy noodles
Slivered almonds
Sesame oil
Sesame vinaigrette
Champagne dressing (my fave! we use it on everything!)

Here's the chicken I used this time, but I do prefer using rotisserie:

The only prep you have to do is slice your grapes into smaller pieces, cut your mandarin oranges in half, chop your green onions, and toast your almonds. I put them in this baking dish for 5 minutes in 350 degree oven. (This worked great, because I also baked some rolls to go with dinner :))


Once everything, except your crunchy noodles, are in the salad bowl, I do 1 tablespoon of each of the following to make my dressing. If you really want to go for the authentic Chinese Chicken Salad taste, then skip the champagne dressing, but I think it brings a lightness to it. I love the taste of the mix.


Healthy and delicious! I love the crunch this salad has. Give it a try and let me know what you think! We really enjoyed it this past week :)


Happy Wednesday!
