A Love Note & Beet Toast

Oh long lost blog of mine, don’t be mad at me. I didn’t forget about you. We’ve had hurdles to overcome and I still don’t know if we’re really ready to get back together. First, my computer died which really made seeing each other difficult. Then I moved, moved in with my boyfriend, took over 2 people’s jobs at work… and we really lost touch.

But every time I put the extra effort into a unique dinner or indulgent dessert, I think of you. So here I am with a glimpse at lunch from this Saturday.

Beet Avocado Toast with Goat Cheese

1 slice sourdough bread
1 golden beet
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt/pepper/cayenne
1/2 avocado
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 ounce goat cheese

Preheat oven to 400. Slice beet into 1/4” slices and spread onto a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Roast for 12-15 minutes, until tender.

Meanwhile, toast sourdough bread until desired crunchiness. Mash avocado with salt, pepper and lemon juice. Spread onto toast, top with sliced beets and sprinkle goat cheese. Serve immediately.
