Beet and Basil Toast

What does a slice of toast wear to bed?
Jammies.

In the morning, sometimes I crave something really earthy.  We recently planted our front herb garden and back vegetable garden, and I had some great basil to use.  I decided to make a quick and healthy Beet and Basil Toast.  The sweetness of the beets really compliments the basil....and who doesn't love goat cheese?!  This also would probably make a yummy appetizer.

Here's what you need (for 1 toast):
1 slice of whole grain toast
1-2 tablespoons of goat cheese
5-6 fresh basil leaves, sliced
2-3 roasted beets, sliced

Toast with Goat Cheese, Tomato and Balsamic

Why is breakfast in bed so easy?
It's just a couple of rolls and a turnover.

Ok, Okay.  I will admit, I am a bit of a morning coffee addict.  I love it.  I especially love the automatic Nespresso milk frother that was given to us as a wedding present.  Coffee topped with warm frothy milk and cinnamon powder is like waking up in a relaxing snuggly cloud.

Some days, I skip breakfast all together and opt for multiple cups of cloudy goodness.  Today, I was craving something savory in addition to my coffee...Toast with Goat Cheese, Tomato and Balsamic.

Here's what you need:
1-2 slices of whole grain/whole wheat toast
1-2 teaspoons of plain goat cheese
slices of fresh tomato (any kind would work, I used small vine here)
1 teaspoon of reduced balsamic vinegar (or a thicker, aged more balsamic would also work)
salt
pepper
