avocado toast

January 16, 2015

We have eaten avocado toast for years. We like it best for a snack or light lunch – easy & healthy! Our version of avocado toast is pretty straight forward: toasted whole wheat bread, a sliced, perfectly ripe avocado, and topped with some cracked black pepper. Sometimes we get a little crazy, and sprinkle crushed red pepper on top! That is until we read this article recently in Bon Appétit – 5 (New!) Ways to Top Avocado Toast. Life changer! Avocado toast has taken on a new meaning around here. Which one sounds the best to you?

Our gin cocktail recipe search is still happening! Check out this one called Rubies & Thorns. The blood orange/lemon-thyme combination of this one intrigued us. Plus the blood orange juice is full of anti-oxidants so it’s good for you too! Keep your favorite gin cocktail recipes coming…

Cheers,

tory burch’s south side cocktail

It’s no surprise we love a good cocktail. When we were staying at Four Seasons Austin last month, we ordered a gin cocktail– which is not at all what we usually order! But we were intrigued and really liked it. Since then we’ve decided to search for the best gin cocktail recipes, outside of the classic gin martini. In our opinion, Tory Burch can do no wrong, so we had to try her favorite gin cocktail recipe: Tory Burch’s South Side. Because of the fact that she designs incredible shoes, handbags and clothing we knew we could trust her cocktail choice. And believe us when we say it’s a great combination & beautiful, too. As our search for the best gin cocktails continues, please send us any of your favorite recipes!
