Simple, beautiful living.
Happy New Year! We’ve been enjoying time together and eating lots! I whipped up a batch of the Avocado Salsa from Chef in Training. Super delicious and healthy.

I started with a cupcake pan sprayed with non-stick spray. I lined each cup with shredded hash browns (they come in a bag in the refrigerated section) that I added salt & pepper
