breakast, the most important meal of the day

i love the idea of breakfast on weekends. on weekdays, i eat whatever is most convenient, so there's not much interest there. while i'm tempted to shell out $20 to have breakfast cooked for us, i try to make breakfast for us so that I can be sure it is relatively healthy and cheap.

Here's what we had this weekend:

Cranberry walnut bread from picketlane bakery with hillshire farm ham. the bread was yummy, dotted with sweet cranberry and walnuts, even better when toasted.

someone at work mentioned that the south americans like to put avocados on toast and have it for breakfast. i know avocados have good fat that is good for peeps with high cholesterol so decided to make it for him. using rosemary sourdough from costco, i toasted it, drizzled olive oil over it and rubbed raw garlic to give it that wonderful aroma garlicky bite without it being too overpowering.  sliced some avocados and laid it on top and finished it with some sea salt and black pepper. this is so yummy, the crunchy bread with the creamy avocado, accented with garlic, salt and pepper...mmmm...
