Hummus, Avocado and Tomato Toast

I have seen so many  pictures lately of people eating avocado toast and it looks so yummy!  I decided to give it a whirl and I loved it.  However, I wanted to bulk it up a bit so it would be more of a lunch.  I am absolutely in love with this recipe and it is so filling and delicious.
 
Ingredients:
  • Whole wheat toast
  • 1 tablespoon hummus, regular or flavor of your choice.
  • 1/2 avocado, smashed
  • Tomato slices
  • Splash of balsamic vinegar, regular or white
  • salt and pepper, to taste
 
Directions:
  1. Toast your bread.
  2. Apply Hummus and top with avocado and tomato.
  3. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper.

Sweet and Spicy Fritos

On our last trip to Costco my husband decided we needed  a giant variety box of snack sized chips.  This box is gigantic and it does not fit in my pantry, so it is sitting on the kitchen floor staring me down.  Seriously, how do you say no to your four not so secret lovers all day long? (Frito's, Doritos, Lays, and Cheetos)  You don't!  Instead, you add butter and brown sugar to make them oh so fancy.

Ingredients:
  • 4 snack size bags Frito's (4 oz)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 3 dashes Tabasco

Directions:  Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  Melt butter and mix in sugar, cayenne, paprika and Tabasco.  Place Frito's in a roasting pan and pour sauce over the top and stir together.  Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
