It’s Tuesday darlings! And that means TOSTADAS!

Last week I posted about making Roasted Cauliflower Tostadas and since I had some leftover tostadas, I wanted to show how easy it is to use them for a different kind of meal. Plus, it involves avocado two ways – so I just had to share a new favorite with you.

This week I bring Breakfast Tostadas. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why not feed yourself something new and fun. Plus it’s packed with all kinds of green goodness to keep you energized throughout your busy day. Did I mention these only take 15 minutes from start to finish. Talk about a Breakfast of Champs!

Seasonal transitions can be quite amazing as you get to pair so many wonderful ingredients while keeping your budget light for that fancy wine you will be pairing your meal with.

It’s Tuesday lovelies!

Look at those hungry hands. I can’t blame her. Clearly, she is my daughter if she’s reaching for extra lime.

I’m a sucker for Taco Tuesday but I swoon for Tostada Tuesday. Actually I adore tostadas any day of the week as I find they are less messy to eat and oh-so-fun to decorate.

I like to make the most out of our seasonal fresh fare, while adding huge amounts of avocado, herbs and spice.
