Avocado + Tempeh Bacon = Love

I find it hard to dislike anything about this sandwich, I find it hard to dislike anything when avocado is involved. Homemade tempeh bacon is paired with avocado then sandwiched between two slices of toasted bread with spicy arugula & greenhouse tomatoes. This is a super easy sandwich to make on the fly, it is the sandwich that Justin and I rely on when we are procrastinating about dinner - super easy and always a crowd pleaser, our go to sandwich.

"cheezy" potato broccoli soup

I never tire of soup - take last week for example, I had a very long work week which consisted of a 8:30am-8:00pm 4 day week which meant no gym time and absolutely no desire to cook dinner when I got home. The super hero of the story - soup, chowder & stew cooked  in my crockpot! There is nothing better than coming home from work and having dinner ready to enjoy without a second thought.

Justin and I never tire of soups this time of year, if I had my way we would eat soup at least once a day; and sometimes we do. The past few weekends we have been home bound due to snowy windy weather, a couple Sundays ago I made this soup which made the entire house smell so so good.

sweet or savory baguettes

 

Despite the pictures in this post not being super pretty or all that great, I still had to share. You know, how could I not share a recipe for chocolate almond stuffed baguette or the most amazing olive & artichoke stuffed baguette. Come on people - bread and chocolate? 

I think so, it would be a crime not to share this with you.

multi seeded crackers

Homemade crackers - they have been on my must make list for over a year! To tell you the truth, for reasons unknown, making my own crackers intimidated me. Well not anymore; they actually are super easy to make and so much tastier than your typical store bought version, not to mention a heck of a lot cheaper.

One of my favorite snacks - crackers & hummus. I found myself day dreaming about these crackers during the day, calling Justin panicking 'cause I thought he would eat the last of the crackers before I got home. Luckily he knows me all too well and made sure to save the last of the crackers for my afternoon snack.
