Smashed Avocado, Black Bean + Roasted Tomato Toasts

Smashed Avocado Toasts

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I spent the majority of mine recuperating from a nasty cold that entered my life late last week. By Friday, it had quite the grip on my energy levels, and I ended up spending the entire day snuggled up in bed. When I finally woke up, Jack had apparently become quite concerned and had his little cat face just inches from mine with a paw nestled against my cheek. Pets always seem to know when we're in need of some extra love.

Something about this cold held my appetite captive for most of Friday; however, after finally emerging from an 18-hour slumber late that afternoon, I was starving. Having made the above open-face sandwich earlier in the week, it was fresh in my taste buds' memories and seemed like the perfect thing to ease me back into the waking world.

Seeded bread is toasted and slathered with freshly smashed avocado and black beans, and the loveliness really comes together with the addition of cumin-dusted roasted tomatoes and a sprinkling of pepitas. The combination creates a crunchy, creamy, and flavorful sandwich that is full of healthy nutrients. The perfect cold-busting, taste bud awakening, and satisfying meal.
