A New Way to Avocado Toast

I'm sure most of you are acquainted with the concept of avocado toast but for those who aren't, it's fairly simple: you put avocado on toast.

My mom loves avocado no strings attached. She's that person who will willingly eat it straight doing nothing to it. My dad trained himself to like it. And then there are people like me, who do not like it and cannot train themselves to like it (I've tried!). So if I'm going to use avocado, it's purely to provide the structure of the recipe and I will doctor it up a lot so I don't have to taste it. Just ask anyone who's ever tried my avocado pesto sauce. The base is avocado but you can't taste it at all.

Despite my disdain for avocado, there are two ways to do avocado toast that I actually like, and that's saying a lot because how can a person who truly despises avocado like anything where it's supposed to be the star?

Two ways:

1. Spread my avocado pesto sauce on toast
2. Mix guacamole of choice with salsa verde of choice (in any ratio you want. I did 2 parts guac to 1 part salsa) and spread that on the toast

Both the above are avocado based and they're both green so you can follow the trend and probably fool a few of your Instagram followers.

Product Review: Seneca Original Apple Chips

Occasionally, I'll buy or be gifted some new products to try, and a big source of said products I try are airplane snacks. I know a few flight attendants, and I also know a few people who travel a lot because of their jobs but don't work for an airline. American Airlines is through the roof when it comes to both healthy and not so healthy vegan snack options, and the options, especially in first class but probably also in main cabin, rotate seasonally and are ever changing. My travelling friends and family bring home some of those items for me to try and see what I think of them. Some I have liked and some I haven't. One of the products I've been introduced to this way is Seneca Apple Chips, original flavor. I wouldn't rank them quite at the top but I would absolutely not rank them at the bottom either. This post will cover my thoughts regarding the taste, nutritional profile, and what I'd be inclined to do with them. What I like about them Not greasy or me

Trader Joe's Frozen Açai Review

If there's one thing I look forward to in the morning (let's face it, I'm not a morning person) it's a smoothie. I love smoothies. Açai is a new favorite. After having several açai smoothies using the powder from Wegman's, I was ready to try the frozen form and see which one I like better. I'm not sure if it's because they're frozen but the frozen form takes forever to blend so I had the blender going long after the rest of the smoothie was of a uniform consistency. So it's not for the impatient but good things come to those who wait so this is a good patience exercise. In terms of the final product, I loved it. I like that the flavor is much more pronounced with the frozen form than with the powder form. Trader Joe's never disappoints! So please do yourself a favor and give frozen açai a fair chance. You will thank me later!

Cinco de Mayo as a vegan

Happy Cinco de Mayo! When you think of the anniversary of the Mexicans winning the Battle of Puebla, what comes to mind? For me, it's food, food, and did I mention food? You will meet few people who love Mexican food more than I do. One of my favorite things about Mexican cuisine is how easy it is to make it vegan and on Cinco de Mayo, I don't need an excuse to load up on it. I made taco bowls for lunch today from cooked quinoa, lettuce, tomato, red bell pepper, salsa, and a chopped black bean burger patty. The salsa I used is the Tostitos original one. I grew up loving Tostitos products and I'm super happy that I don't have to give them up to live this lifestyle. My go to black bean burger patties are from the brand "Gardein", which makes plant based imitation meats 100% vegan and all of them that I have tried look and taste like the real thing and are quick and easy to prepare and I absolutely love them. What vegan Mexican foods do you like? How did y
