{RESOLUTIONS & AVOCADO TOAST}

I Have quite the love/hate relationship with New Years resolutions. There is too much pressure to become a better person at the flip of a switch and I for one, am not about it. On the other hand, I believe that, for myself at least, there is always room for improvement. So, instead of making one definitive resolution this year, I have decided to set a few goals for myself and I decided that this blog is the perfect place to document these goals and the strides that I make to reach these goals. Without further ado, here are my goals for 2015:

1. Start eating healthier
2. Continue to exercise regularly
3. Learn to better manage my money
4. Score my dream internship
5. Consistently upload posts to this blog

One final announcement before getting into the recipe; I have recently started an internship with CollegeFashionista as a Style Guru at my university. This interview will extend throughout my second semester and I could not be more excited. For those of you who have never heard of CollegeFashionista, it is a community of college students across the country who upload weekly posts about the style happenings on their campus. This internship has always been something that I have really wanted to do and I am overjoyed to finally have the opportunity to do so. That being said, if any of you think this sounds like something you would be interested in, I would definitely recommend checking out their website, collegefashionista.com, and sending in an application. But if being a Style Guru doesn't sound like it is for you, I would still suggest checking out the website for fashion inspiration because it is seriously awesome. 

Okay, so that was my spiel about what has been happening with me lately and now for the avocado toast recipe. This recipe could not be easier and it is one of the best (guilt-free) things I have ever tasted.

Ingredients:

One avocado

Bread (whole-wheat is what I prefer but you can use any kind)

Extra virgin olive oil

Balsamic vinegar

Sea salt 

Black pepper

STEP 1: Toast yo' bread. I actually toasted mine in a conventional oven on the broil setting. I toasted each side for less than two minutes and just kept an eye on it to make sure it didn't burn. Using a toaster will always work (plot twist).

STEP 2: Cut your avocado into large chunks after peeling it and taking out the seed.

STEP 3: When your toast is ready, drizzle a small amount, or more if you desire, of the of the vinegar and olive oil.

STEP 4: Mash your avocado chunks with a fork on top of the toast.

STEP 5: Top your toast off with some salt and pepper.

TOO EASY, HUH?
