Avocado PesTOASTS with Roasted Cherry Tomatoes—see what I did there? ?anyway, these are toasts topped with, yes, avocado pesto and some roasted cherry tomatoes. I’ll share the recipe below! Is there anyone else here who love mixing some homemade basil into some mashed avocado? I discovered the flavour combo probably 2 years ago and really enjoy the nice twist. I also topped these off with some roasted cherry tomatoes for some really good and satisfying toasts!
Also, I hope everyone’s have a good mid-week so far! It hasn’t been the smoothest and most productive week for me—I guess there are just really those days when you’re trying to find the motivation to get things done. Just trying to take it one day at a time and find what works best for me. I guess this is one of the struggles of working remotely and not having much structure to my days but I really enjoy the flexibility I have to make my own schedule so I’m really grateful for that. Have a great Wednesday!
