Two Vegan Breakfast Toasts!

Two Vegan Breakfast Toasts! Why two? Because it’s twice as nice. 😉 These delicious delights are incredibly easy, healthy, and quick to make. Everything you want in a breakfast! Lord knows, no one has endless amounts of time in the A.M. Mornings are the foundation of my day. If they start out shitty, the road is long for the rest of the day. I am a believer in starting your day right. 

The first toast is loaded with avocado & shiitake mushrooms, and the second is loaded with spicy roasted red pepper hummus (click the name for link to my hummus recipe) & Italian veggie sausage. I LOVE glorified toasts in the morning. I usually have them with a green fruit smoothie and a cup of hot water with lemon, agave, ginger, and cayenne pepper. I feel like that perfect trifecta starts my body’s day at some form of homeostasis. No doubt I need that to cope with my 10 or 11 classes/day with 25-35 kiddos/class. Sigh… This is why my thighs will always touch. 🙁 Haha. I’ll never have enough energy to go nutty enough on the working out scene and I’ll always need my medicine, I mean, wine ;), after a long and crazy day of teaching, mommy-ing, cooking, blogging, writing, and house cleaning. INSANE! Let these two fabulous toasts at least ease some of the burden of your day, too! Wanna vent about it? Do it here! Leave your crazy lives and morning stressors in the comment section. I now have Heyoya as well which means you can leave voice comments. SO cool! Let’s get to know one another and our insane day-to-days!

Lastly, my very first e-cookbook, Easy Vegan Mexican & Italian Inspired Food, is now officially available on Amazon for a mere $2.99! And, no. You DON’T need a Kindle to read it! The Kindle is free to download (mine did it automatically with purchase) and therefore you can read on your iPhone, computer etc. What makes this cookbook so unique?! I have songs and well- researched drink pairings for every single recipe including slightly racy, and “Heather-style” inappropriate commentary for each page as well! Please leave me a review if you purchase it! They’ll be more to come by the end of the summer! Thanks for all of your support! Love, FGG

This album below (and Come Away with Me) are my 2 favorite Sunday morning albums to cook to and start the morning with!

UGH! CAN’T FIX THE GIANT GAP B/W THE PIC AND THE RECIPE CARD. WORDPRESS KILLS ME!
