Tara's Tidbits®: Wherever I go, wherever they have it, I order avocado toast. I guess you could say I’m a little bit obsessed with it. When I make it at home, I go all out. I use multigrain bread, because it’s a little thicker and gives the toast more oomph.
This version is perfect for making with kids, and it's amazing for a Halloween-themed lunch or brunch. Don't be afraid to get creative! This would also work well for a little witch... maybe using watercress for her wild hair!
