Nice one Shell . Sounds like my current habbit too... hate avacado tho', but my daughter loves them.

Tell her to chop an avocado, mash it and use it instead of mayo on a turkey sandwich. It's way better for you and tastes awesome. I like it mixed with salsa too to make a seat of your pants guacamole.

Ezekiel bread, toasted, lightly drizzled with olive oil, slathered with fresh avocado, topped with sliced hothouse tomatoes and sprinkled with coarse sea salt. One of my favorite breakfasts.

that sounded so good i nearly ran to your house to bum you.

and steal your breakfast.

That sounds awesome, Epi. Yum.

Alright, I have two more for you guys. However, I very rarely measure things, so you're going to have to play it by taste on these ones.

Get a nice focaccia bread and cut it into "points" (triangles). Brush it with olive oil mixed with sea salt, rosemary and roasted garlic. Lay it flat on a pan with the brushed side facing up. Put it in the oven. While that is toasting, chop a red onion and a tomato. Put these in a saute pan with just enough balsamic vinegar to change the color. Let it cook until the onions are soft. You may want to half cook the onions before adding the tomato. Reduce this completely. In other words, there should be no soupy balsamic juice in the pan. Remove the bread when it is lightly brown and spoon some of the tomato/onion mixture over it. Sprinkle shaved or shredded parmesan on that and put it back in the oven until it melts. Enjoy!

Get a flank steak and pound it flat until it is a long, thin rectangle. Not too thin or it will break. Smear roasted garlic and sea salt on both sides. Lay the steak flat and put blue cheese crumbles, sauteed diced onion and chopped sundried tomato all over the top. Next, grab one of the short sides and roll the thing up like a long cinnamon roll. You may want to press the ingredients into the steak as well as you can so they don't fall out during this process. Put it in a roasting pan with the crease facing down. (the crease is the point where you stopped rolling) cook it until it reaches the desired temperature. Slice it into cinnamon-bun shaped steak awesomeness and eat.

We do not have such a thing as "brown sauce." It sounds unappetizing.

I got this one out of the Band of Outsiders zine. It's called Bananarchy French Toast, and it is amazing. I don't even like bananas, but this was So. Fucking. Good. Serves 2-3.

bread slices
2 medium bananas
2/3 cup of soymilk (I used almond milk and it was great)
3 tablespoons of maple syrup (I added more)
1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon (again, I used more)

1. Blend everything except the bread until smooth.
2. Pour into a flat, shallow dish and soak bread slices 1 minute on each side.
3. Transfer bread to an oiled skillet. Cook first side until lightly browned (about 3 mins), then flip and do the same to the other side.
4. Serve with fresh fruit, preserves, or maple syrup. I used strawberries and syrup.
