    Fancified Avocado Toast

    Step up your brunch game with this outside the box take on Avocado toast. Instead of using “toast” we opted for mini waffles. They sure are a crowd-pleaser, they’re hearty, healthy and they look super cute too! 

    Waffles

    • 1 1/4 Cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
    • 1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar
    • 1 Teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 Teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 Cup
    • 1/2 Cup plain greek yogurt
    • 4 Tablespoons butter, melted

    Topping

    • 4 eggs
    • 3 small tomatoes
    • 1 small avocado
    • Salt
    • Pepper

    Place waffle batter in a large bowl, whisk all ingredients together until smooth and combined. Drop spoonfuls onto waffle iron and cook to your desired “done-ness” 

    Place 1 waffle on a plate, top with fried egg, avocado slices and 2 slices tomato. Sprinkle with salt and pepper!

    Enjoy this tasty weekend breakfast!

    Superfood Breakfast Cookies

    This is the perfect ‘grab and go’ cookie. They are not only nutritious and loaded with superfoods like pumpkin, flax seeds, cinnamon and of course some chocolate but they’re also really durable, I like to pop one into a baggy and toss it into my purse to curb my afternoon “hangriness”!

    Preheat oven to 325

    • 1 cup oats
    • 1 cup flour
    • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
    • 1/2 cup walnuts
    • 1/2 cup pepitas
    • 1/2 cup rasins
    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 2 tablespoon flax seeds
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    • Pinch salt (about 1/4 teaspoon) 
    • 1 cup canned pumpkin
    • 2 tablespoons butter, melted 
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 3 tablespoons agave nectar 
    • 1 tablespoon milk

    Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside. 

    Mix pumpkin, butter, and agave together until fully incorporated. Add dry mixture and fold together until partially combined, add milk to moisten the mixture and continue to mix until fully incorporated.

    Drop equal sized cookies on a cookie sheet and flatten each cookie. 

    Bake 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

    Makes 18-20 cookies depending upon your scoop size!

    Enjoy these tasty morsels, they’re exceptionally good with coffee or tea.

    Antipasto On A Stick!

    Antipasto is top on my list of “go-to” appetizers! The only problem is that most require plates, and cutlery, leaving you with even more dishes to do at the end of your soiree! Enter Antipasto Skewers! They offer the perfect mixture of everything and are a tasty “2 biter”. Be sure you have some cute cocktail napkins, and cocktails of course, and you’re good to go! 

    Antipasto Skewers: Purchase your favorite Antipasto fixings. I always opt for a combination of the following:

    • Olives
    • Salami
    • Artichoke hearts
    • Sun-dried tomatoes
    • Mozarella cheese
    • Fireroasted peppers 

    Gather some cute skewers and start building! It doesn’t get much more simple than that!

    My formula usually starts with mozzarella and ends with an olive!

    Happy Hosting!
