Let’s be completely honest today. I didn’t make these avocado breakfast tostadas for breakfast. Fried eggs are perfect for any time of the day, and made a speedy lunch this last weekend when I was busy!
I love it when you can pull leftover ingredients from the fridge and pantry and have the perfect amount for a delicious meal. I had three leftover corn tortillas and some cilantro from this black bean taco recipe with corn radish salsa! Continue reading

Tapenade (pronounced top-ah-nod) is a french dip or spread made from olives and other flavorful pairings such as capers and anchovies. I don’t stock anchovies as a pantry staple, therefore my garlic black olive tapenade is a vegan version of the classic!
I love garlic, and it pairs perfectly with the olives and capers in the tapenade. Did you know that garlic ranks number two as a highly beneficial superfood (right behind turmeric)? It has been linked to reducing/preventing heart disease, stroke, cancer, and infections (source). Continue reading
