Delicious & Healthy Breakfast - Toast, Guacamole, and Egg

I love breakfast. So. Much. Today, instead of the usual greens-and-fruits smoothie I whip up with my Nutribullet (aka the best investment I've ever made), I decided to put a little more effort into my breakfast. I thought of this creation the night before and based my recipe off of one that I later found, but added my own flair to it. The recipe below serves one person.

Ingredients:

• 1 avocado
• Lemon Juice 
• 1 tomato (or as much as you prefer)
• Salt & Pepper 
• 1 piece of multi-grain bread (or any you prefer)
• 1 egg
• Olive Oil
• 1 basil (optional)

Steps:

1. Scoop out the inside of the avocado with a spoon and mash it up in a bowl.
2. Slice the tomato and add it into the bowl along with some lemon juice and salt (to taste). Mix.
3. Toast your bread (of course, you may do this whenever during the process!).
4. Heat your pan and add the olive oil, then add your egg (I cooked mine sunny side up because it was prettier, but feel free to make yours however!). Add in salt and pepper on the yolk.
5. Spread the homemade guacamole on the toast, put the egg over it, then add the basil on top!

This recipe doesn't take a long time and is super simple (especially if you're a mediocre cook like myself). My mom and I thought it was delicious and will definitely be making it a lot more often!

“Hello & Welcome”

New bloggers always tend to publish a “hello & welcome” post when starting a new blog. However, we’ve decided to rid of this tradition and the typical “please support this blog post (although we do appreciate your support and will continue to try our hardest to make this blog the best it can be)” and start off with a different topic: our vision.

Both Mindy & I (Katie) are very excited to have finally started our blog! As you might have already realized through our url, banner, and blog theme, minimalism is a style we both admire and (attempt to) incorporate in our everyday lives. As rising seniors in high school, the opportunities to flaunt and embody a sense of style are not always the easiest to come by (style and the SAT never seem to fit in the same sentence no matter how hard we try.) That is why we’ve decided to start our blog! This blog is our beacon of hope to express our vigor and passion for simplicity and how it intertwines itself into our world- whether it is through fashion, art, or even common household items (more to come on this subject). Minimalism is simple yet sleek, charming yet chic, and a force to be reckoned with.

We hope this blog serves as both an outlet for us to develop our sense of style while inspiring our readers to see the world of minimalism (among other things) from our eyes.
