Caprese Avocado Toast

Drescription

Tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil—the building blocks of caprese salad--lend a creative twist to a standard avocado toast recipe.

Ingredients

2 slices 100% whole-wheat bread
1 avocado
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
2 slices fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
4 slices tomato
4 leaves basil, torn
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar

Directions

Toast bread until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
Mash avocado in a small bowl. Stir in lemon juice and pepper. Spread the avocado mixture on the toast. Top with mozzarella, tomato, and basil. Drizzle with vinegar.

Lunch

Turkey BLT Wraps

This delicious kid-friendly twist on a classic BLT includes turkey. The extra protein makes a filling, healthy lunch to pack up for school or work.

BBQ & Grill

Grilling gives these shrimp tostadas a boost of smoky flavor. Skewering the shrimp prevents them from falling through the grates while getting even char on each side. If you have a grill basket, you can throw them in that instead; just make sure to get them into a single layer so they don't steam.

Pancake

Slightly Adapted Mamo's Potato Pancakes

My stepfather, Ronnie, loves his with ketchup -- but I wouldn't brag about that!

Quick & Easy

Spinach & Artichoke Chicken

Inspired by artichoke dip, we made a creamy cheese topping to serve on quick-cooking chicken breast cutlets for an oh-so-satisfying meal.
