WHAT WE EAT: Avocado Toast

eye roll. how cliche, right? wrong my friends, so wrong. While avocado toast seems to be all the rage 

these days, it's for an excellent reason. I promise. 

Here's the deal: I'm not a foodie. 

We generally eat pretty healthy over here, but it's not because I love healthy food, it's because I love my family. (girlfriend does buy the occasional bag of "Nacho Doritos" or "Chicken in a Biscuit" at the grocery store - old habits die HARD). BUT, avocado toast is all it's chalked up to be. Crunchy toast, creamy avocado, cool crisp tomatoes, salty parmesan & sweet balsamic glaze. 

Yes, please! It's almost as good as a chocolate oreo milkshake!  #fatkidatheart #oreos4lyfe #treatyoself

 Here's how we do it: 

I like to use a loaf of vienna or pugliese bread from the grocery store bakery. It's sweet & chewy inside, and has crispy crust. We toast it lightly and start layering while it's warm. First up, AVOCADO. I use about 1/3 of an avocado (more or less - whatever you fancy), and slice 2-3 grape tomatoes in half for the next layer. We keep ours in the fridge, as they keep their crisp better that way. Next up - shredded parmesan cheese - you really don't need to much of this, a little cheese goes a long way in the salt department. I drizzle some Balsamic Glaze on top (probably my favorite fridge essentials - SO good on everything! We use this one)

Finally, I top it off with a generous amount of freshly ground sea salt. And VOILA! You're done! 

This is not only a great lunch, but a healthy snack for the kids (baylor is obsessed), and it also makes a great appetizer for parties (just cut your bread slices in half or use a french baguette instead). 

Hope you enjoy! #henandco on instagram so I can see pics of YOUR avocado toast!
