Welcome to Simple Bites, Full Hearts Podcast, a comforting space for parents of children aged 5 to 7 years who want to nourish their children well, without overcomplicating mealtimes. I am Alisha Blanks a Registered Dietitian and Lactation Consultant. 

Listen, parenting comes with a huge number of responsibilities and nourishing your child is one of the most important and sometimes, most overwhelming. As a mother of two growing boys, I understand the daily challenge of putting three balanced meals (plus snacks!) on the table.

Let’s make mealtime feel lighter, together.

Alisha’s Avocado Toast with Scrambled Eggs

Ingredients 

Avocado (Fresh Avocado or Prepackaged Avocado Mash)

Bread (Dave’s Killer Bread – White Bread Done Right)  https://www.daveskillerbread.com/white-bread-done-right 

Eggs

Olive Oil

Fresh juice from a lime 

Salt 

Pepper 

Recipe 

Avocado Mash 

Carefully remove the skin and seed from a ripened fresh avocado. Place the green flesh of the avocado in a mixing bowl. Using a metal fork, mash the avocado, this is something that your 5–7-year-old would enjoy doing with you. Once your child has the hang of mashing and is doing well, let them mash on! You can move forward to something else while keeping an eye on the mashing. Once you and your child have finished mashing the avocado to. Your liking, sprinkle in two pinches of salt, one pinch of pepper and a ¼ teaspoon of lime juice. With a spoon, stir the avocado, salt, pepper and lime juice together. 

Scrambled Eggs 

Crack two eggs in a bowl, mix the eggs with a fork until the mixture looks yellow and the whites are fully combined with the yolks. Season the egg mixture with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper, mix the seasoning with the eggs. Once the egg mixture is fully combined, set your bowl of eggs to the side.  Add olive oil to your pan, turn it on medium to heat the oil for about 30 seconds. Once the oil is heated, turn the pan up to medium/high heat around 6-7 on a gas stove, add the eggs and allow the eggs to cook for about 15 seconds. Next, using a non-stick, heat-resistant spatula/ turner, move the eggs around the pan to ensure even cooking. Watch the eggs closely. Once the eggs are evenly cooked, they should appear a bright yellow color with a fluffy, soft and moist texture. 

Toast

Take two slices of Dave’s Killer Bread (White Bread Done Right) and place it on a baking sheet. Put your baking sheet in an oven at 350 degrees F for about 1-2 minutes. If you have a toaster, you can place your bread in the toaster instead of the oven. 

Once all items mashed, cooked and toasted, spread the avocado mash on the toast and then add the eggs on top. Repeat this for your second slice of toast and enjoy! Your heart and your mind will thank you for this one!
