Avocado Breakfast Toast
My own twist on the traditional popular breakfast avocado toast. I make this all the time but never measure anything. For Mother's Day, my mom requested that I write this recipe down for her, so I attempted to measure as I went. And after I wrote it all down, I then decided that, since this is the third time someone's asked me for the recipe, maybe I should include it here. Feel free to play with the spices, as I normally always just add to taste. The cheese I typically use is just whatever I have on hand at the time. Sometimes pepper Jack or sharp Cheddar, but mostly the star here is the avocado spread which I've tweaked over the years. I hope you all enjoy.
Walnut Pumpkin Cookies
These walnut pumpkin cookies are frosted with maple frosting. There has never been a person who has not loved these cookies, even those who do not like pumpkin cookies. A family recipe for 35 years, it has won 1st prize at a cookie exchange and a pumpkin contest at work. I usually triple the recipe!
Quick and Easy Clam Chowder
The best ever clam chowder you have ever tasted, and it is easy and fast. You will pass this recipe along to your family and friends. If you like more clams you can always add more. Sometimes I will also cube potatoes and throw them in.
