6 (Easy!) Ways to Top Avocado Toast
Saturday, November 16, 2019
Edit
Guyyysss….I’m excited about todays post!!! Maybe because I’ve been wanting to share this with y’all forever or maybe because I have a slight obsession with avocados or maybe because it’s one of those posts where I actually like the the way my photos turned out. Testing recipes constantly and making sure everything works and tastes good for you guys is obviously the big picture here but if the pics don’t look good, then who’s gonna wanna eat it? That’s kind of my thinking here.
I’ve been doing this blogging thing for a year now and photography has been the hardest part of it all. I’m still learning so much and sometimes don’t give myself enough credit as I look at everything through a microscope and always find the flaws and how I could’ve done it better. And then sometimes I have days, where I’m like “I think I’m getting the hang of this…” so this post is one of those days. So, please don’t mind while I enjoy my proud moment here because God knows when the next one will be. ugh.
Avocado though. Let’s talk avocado! Who hates spending a fortune on avocados only to bring them home and find that they are over ripe and brown inside? Ummm…that would be me. That’s my life’s biggest pet peeve. Yep, LIFE’s. As in capital letters. Nothing worse than a brown avocado when you just spent over $2 on one. That’s why I keep telling hubby we need to move to CA..avocados are way cheaper and people are way happier
