Fun Finds For Mom

My new favorite lunch

Hi friends. I have many half-written posts that I need to finish. But in the meantime, I thought I’d share my new favorite lunch. It’s pretty simple, but so delicious. So just in case you’re looking for something new to munch, here it is. I toast a Thomas Bagel Thins bagel (love these), spread a shmear of whipped cream cheese, top with avocado slices. Then here’s the secret. Grind fresh black pepper and salt on the avocado before topping with tomato slices. Then when the tomato slices are on, top these with freshly ground pepper and salt too. I usually add some salad or carrots and snap peas since I’m trying to eat more vegetables lately.

I made this for a couple friends lately, and they both loved it. One pointed out that the salt was particularly good. It was the Pink Himalayan salt from Trader Joe’s, which to be honest, I bought to show my daughter who loves pink. But it did end up being quite tasty. The pepper I use is regular old McCormick. It’s basically a disposable pepper grinder that you find next to all the spices in the grocery store. Yummers.

I promise – more posts, giveaways, and a funny story about how I got a pea out of my daughter’s nose coming son. Oh sorry. Did I just ruin your appetite?

    When you lived in SoCal, did you ever try these at DP Harbor? So yummy. You MUST try sprinkling lemon pepper on top…and add thinly sliced red onion (if you like onion). It’s mind-blowingly good. Now I’m craving this for lunch…

    Andrea – I never did try them at the harbor, but now I want to! Also, I’m kind of getting sick of this lunch since I’ve eaten it so much. My new love is Trader Joe’s Crunchy Curls. I could eat them for a meal, and today I practically did.

    Have a great lunch Sarita!
