Toast for Lunch

Every so often these days, in the midst of some fun outdoor activity, I remember the fact that I won’t be going back to school in August – and I get SO excited. 

I’ve been working this summer, but the nature of the work means all I need to succeed is a wifi connection and my laptop. And despite the fact that I am working, the absence of class and homework makes me feel indefinitely on vacation. In an average week, I gravitate between Peet’s, Philz, Starbucks, and home, never staying in one place for too long, but always well-caffeinated. 

I eat lunch at home, usually. It’s inexpensive and never rushed. A super light and budget-friendly meal I’ve been making is an open-face sandwich… Because it feels more sophisticated than the usual deli fare, and due to the more delicate composition, takes longer to eat. 

This particular version has a schmear of ricotta cheese, a soy sauce + lime + avocado mash from Pinterest, thinly sliced red onion, and black pepper. A balanced and not-too-filling midday bite. 

Do you eat toast for lunch? What are your favorite combinations?
