thrifty thursday: avocado toast

With Stefan still settling into the new job he just started at the beginning of July, the two of us haven't quite gotten into the rhythm of a nightly routine.  Rather than plan for each week's meals ahead of time, we've been playing it by ear - making a decision after we've both arrived home and are half starving from our days.


Last week, we were too lazy to venture out to the store for ingredients, but didn't feel like wasting time with eating out, so instead we peaked into our pantry for those things about to go bad.

Chief among them were a pair of avocados and a crusty baguette: the perfect combination for a delightfully simple and incredibly cheap weekday meal.


Simply slice bread into manageable chunks and toast in the oven.

Then take your extra ripe avocados, chop them up guac-style, and season with salt, pepper, and paprika - an essential spice around these parts.

Once your toasts are golden brown, spread them with your creamy creation:

Don't be fooled: while simple, this meal hits all your basics: protein, healthy fat, carbs, deliciousness.  


What's your go-to, easy-as-pie weekday dinner?
