Chicken Tortilla Soup
A long time ago, my friend showed me how to make this delicious chicken tortilla soup. Every time I make it I think of her, and it never gets boring. There are so many flavors going on in this simple, comforting soup. You could make it vegetarian if you wanted to by omitting the chicken, using vegetable broth, and adding more beans and corn.

Crunchy Avocado Toast
Simple, yet filling and delicious is how I would describe this red bell pepper and cucumber avocado toast recipe. I always roll my eyes (and you should too) at the price of avocado toast on restaurant menus – $15? No way. It is so incredibly easy to make at home! The toppings on avocado toast seem to be endless. This recipe uses fresh chopped red bell pepper and cucumbers to add a crunch factor to the creamy, smashed avocado base. Avocados are known to be a healthy fruit because of their healthy fats (monounsaturated), fiber and B vitamins. They keep you feeling fuller longer, which can help with weight loss,…
