A benefit of teleworking is the luxury of being able to stop and fix myself a meal. Normally I just throw whatever I can grab into my lunch box... or play, "What is the least obviously unhealthy food in the vending machine?" Last week was the first week back to school after winter break, and my general inertia towards getting out of bed meant I wasn't especially into the idea of eating breakfast. I was however, interested in something a little more like brunch, so I decided to try out some variations on toast.
RECIPE: Ricotta-Orange Toast & Hummus and Cucumber Toast
MODS:
- For the ricotta-orange toast, I used cottage cheese and a Clementine. I also did a sprinkling of cayenne instead of red pepper flakes.
- I liked this recipe so much that I actually made it multiple times this week. I drizzled on some olive oil on the first go-'round, but I skipped it without missing it later in the week.
- For the hummus and cucumber toast, I made my own hummus with black-eyed peas leftover from last week loosely using this recipe.
- Since I already knew that I wouldn't miss the olive oil, I skipped it.
- I made my own faux za'atar by mixing up some thyme, marjoram, spiced sesame seeds in roughly equal quantities... but I spotted actual za'atar at one of the smaller grocery stores in my area, so I'll have to give it a go for real sometime in the near future.
VERDICT: KEEPER!
