Fried Egg And Avocado Sandwiches

Cookbook author and meal planning guru Aviva Goldfarb says, "Recently I became obsessed with making the perfect fried egg sandwich, asking everyone for their ideal recipe. Ultimately, I settled on this delectable combination but you might also enjoy adding steamed spinach, roasted peppers, mayonnaise, tapenade, or bacon. We used cheddar and jalapeño bread from the farmer’s market, but assuming you can’t find that, you can use sourdough, challah, French bread, even English muffins."

I used just enough caramel to make this dessert delicious but still guilt-free.

Garlic Mashed Potato Soup

Author Aviva Goldfarb: "This recipe was suggested to me by 10-year-old Ames Williford, of Pennsylvania, who makes this soup for her family.
