My Cheating Toasts

My Cheating Toasts


I have been trying to increase my use of fresh fruits and vegetables. But, after my last avocado turned to mush because I did not use it quick enough, I bought a jar of guacamole and some other per-prepared foods.

Sadly, the brand of guacamole I bought had no avocado in it. Will need to look for a different brand that has avocado.

Also, while I do make various salsas, I use them as dips or side dishes. I prefer to use canned salsa as a spice. So, I am going back to my canned, jarred and per-prepared resources.
