Bacon and Avocado Grills

1. Toast Bread.
1a. You can butter your bread, or use cream cheese. I do not like to do either, myself. Any of these options will work.
2. Place enough bacon to cover your bread under your grill - however you do it. Or, you can cook it in a frypan but that will take longer I suspect. I have an LG Solardom so I put it on the top shelf of the microwave for 5 minutes, turn it over, and do the other side for 4 mins. When you have done that, it will look like this.

3. While the bacon grills, once you have toasted the bread, cover it in avocado. I like to slice mine and arrange it creatively on the bread. Some like to mush theirs up. Either way is fine. Mine look like this.

4. When the bacon is grilled, arrange it prettily on top of your avocado covered toast. Like this.

5. Cover the bacon with a slice of cheese. I like the Aldi vintage sliced cheese for me, but for you feel free to use any cheese you like.

6. Place grills back in the oven until the cheese is melted how you like it.

7. Eat!

It’s moments like these..

When you have a desperate craving for microwave popcorn and none in the house since you accidentally cooked the last packet a *tiny* bit too long yesterday causing smoke and possibly even fire that you begin to realise the benefits of being the opposite of Mother Hubbard.

Yes, Lightening. Me too. :) Until this time last week I had two packets of microwave popcorn squirrelled away in my cupboard. In fact there is so much shiznit in my cupboards currently yet I can’t find an eatable snack because all I want is what I don’t have!  I have plenty of potato chips but I do not want them. They’re not hot, buttery, freshly popped popcorn..
