Welcome to our weekly Foodie Friday link up! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama+ Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme is Favorite Sandwich!
You thought I was done with all the guacamole recipes, didn’t you? Clearly, I’m not. #sorrynotsorry
I suppose crostinis aren’t really actually a type of sandwich, but we’re just gonna go have to go with it because this is one of my backdated recipes and I haven’t had time to cook for…well, a good while. (Yay for night shift and being perpetually tired…?)
But hooray for using existing recipes to evolve into other edible things!? This is one of the ways I used all the masses of guacamole I made after scoring 10 avocados for $5 at the Trader Joe’s anniversary sale!
Feel free to double/triple this recipe as needed. These would make an awesome (and super simple) appetizer for any type of gathering! They just likely won’t last long. ;P

Mmm I could totally eat that whole plate right now (on call probs)! On a food-related note, you’d be proud — I stowed leftover food from a workshop yesterday in our residents’ room fridge and have had it for 3 meals now. Scavenging for the win :)

Yesss! I’m definitely proud, hahaha. :D I’m on nights right now too, so suffering along with ya! ;P
You can never go wrong with avocado ????
I always change what kind of sandwich is my favourite but right now it’s ham, hummus, beetroot and salad.

Yum! This would be my ultimate breakfast recipe, Farrah! Can I use regular tomatoes instead of cherry ones?
I’m sure those would work as well! :] Just diced em’ into bite-sized pieces and you should be good to go! I need to go get more avocados…
