Instead, I'm using the cold as a reason to "never get comfortable," and be super productive at work and go to the gym. Yeehaw! Polar vortex!
This week for lunch, I've fallen back in love with avocado toasts. Maybe because my face is so dry from the cold, and there's only so much Olay you can stand to put on in the morning. Seriously, while I was making the toast, I just wanted to mash the avocado into guacamole and put it on my face. Is that weird? Avocados are magic for your skin. And they remind me of warmer climates. Like a beach. With the sound of the ocean. And a margarita or two. Or four. But who's counting. ME, because I just got lost in a daydream to distract myself from the Snowpocalypse. Anyway, tell me this doesn't look delicious:

For these toasts I used multigrain bread from Niedlov's, an artisanal bakery in Chattanooga, skim ricotta cheese, one ripe avocado, salt and pepper, and a few dashes of red pepper flakes to give the toast some heat.
It's such an easy base recipe to add whatever other things you want. Blueberries would be delicious when they're in season, or sliced cherry tomatoes to brighten the color. The toast is your oyster!
Anyway, so next time you want something refreshing, simple, and healthy for lunch, whip up a couple of these guys. They're avocadelicious...(so punny).
