Baked Avocado with Egg





I recently saw a post on Facebook about this quick and easy healthy breakfast option...then I saw it again on Twitter, then I saw it again on Instagram... and I quickly realized that this recipe was going viral right before my eyes.

Of course I don't believe anybody who re-posted this recipe actually tried it nor will they ever, but the picture made them salivate enough that they decided to share this creation with the rest of the world....so I decided to test it for you.

I have to admit that this is a stoner's dream recipe for a few reasons: it's fast, it's easy, and it's a good alternative to the RedBull and M&Ms you usually have for breakfast.

Now I will say that calling this a "recipe" is a bit of a stretch since it really just consists of cracking an egg in an avocado half and adding a few spices on top before throwing the concoction in the oven for a few minutes...but that's why it's a healthy stoner's best friend: It is literally made in less than one minute and bakes for about 5-10 minutes depending on how you like your yolk (soft or hard).

Depending on how hungry you are, you might want to crack a second egg in the other half of the avocado...especially if you have the munchies

As far a being a viral recipe....I'm still a little surprised that this item would make people click on their mouse enough times to share it with the world but then again some people think deviled eggs are worthy of entering a cooking contest..

Enjoy this as a breakfast item, a snack or even as an appetizer.

Bagel Party



There is nothing like an easy but colorful and tasty breakfast to start the day on the right foot. After rolling a morning spliff by the sun, we threw two bagels in the toaster and waited a few minutes for the bagels to become golden. We proceeded to smoke the joint during our wait and sipped on our coffee while cutting up the delicious toppings. We covered our bagels with cream cheese, wild smoked salmon, avocado, cherry tomatoes and red onions. We added a splash of lemon, some salt and pepper and I poured myself some rosé wine before biting into this giant savory treat. It took us less than five minutes to put it all together not including the dish washing time, but I'm not quite sure how long my it takes for my dishwasher to wash the dishes

So if you have a freezer and a knife, cut yourselves a few bagels and throw them in there for emergency snacks. Sometimes it's just about having a few ingredients for our stony stomach to be happy.
