SAVORY VEGAN BREAKFAST | AVOCADO PESTO ON WALNUT RYE TOAST ๐ฅ๐ ๐ฅ
Good morning lovelies. I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine just started with this yummy savory morning treat. Though I'm more a sweet tooth in the morning, it's market day today so we didn't have much fruits and veggies left to make a yummy, sweet green morning drink.
If you have been following my blog then you may know we bought a bakery with a friend 2 months ago. Though I would never have thought to open a bakery as we don't eat bread very often, when we saw a bakery up for sale it was the perfect opportunity for my friend and baker from Belgium.
For a while, he had been dreaming about moving to Cambodia or any other (preferably tropical) country that isn't Belgium to get a whole new and different experience. But life has been tough for him in the past few years, so when we called him to let him know there was a bakery up for sale the disappoint couldn't be any bigger as he didn't have the money for it, but he realised this was an opportunity he might only get once in his lifetime.
That's when my hubby and I decided to team up with him and buy the bakery together so my friend could start living his dream too... so here we are.... proud bakery owners.
All that to say, that even though we do not eat bread very often, we always have some in the freezer made by my friend with love and wholesome, organic products. Local if possible. All flours are glyphosate free!
Walnut rye is one of my favorites.....
The beauty of sharing homegrown foods
And what made this savory morning toast even better... the other day I traded some of our homegrown bananas and papayas from beautiful organic avocados my friend has in her garden.
Though I love living in Cambodia for many reasons, the abundance of fresh fruits and veggies growing everywhere is just wow. We all have so much and it brings neighbors and friends together to share. Just as our ancestors did..... FREE HOMEGROWN FOOD ROCKS!

Mmmm! Avocado toast is possibly my favourite meal. I'm missing it here in Morocco the avo's cost a fortune.
Really. Here in Cambodia locally grown, organic avocados are around $3-4 a kilo. Wish I could send you some.
Avocado pesto sounds and looks really tasty! I'm a bit jealous of you having all those fruits and veggies straight from the garden, it sounds too perfect to be real! ๐
Thanks! Avo on toast lover here hehe. Every country has its pros and cons. Fresh fruits and veggies, plenty of free, wild animals and super friendly people are the things keeping us in Cambodia. Have a lovely day.
Sounds really great, I'd love to visit Cambodia! You too have lovely day! ๐
Avocado toast is pretty much a staple in my breakfast rotation, so this is right up my alley! My boyfriend thinks that with the way temperatures are warming up here we may finally be able to grow avocado trees in our yard. ๐ Not quite sure if it's that warm yet, but we'll see.
At least that's a bonus of climate change :( We are having a particularly tough start of the rainy season... heavy rain for 2 weeks now. Almost non-stop. Luckily we live on a hill, so many people are flooded right now. The climate is def changing. Enjoy the heat and sun ;)
That is crazy! I'd much rather get avocados elsewhere than see such violent weather pattern changes. Seems to be changing all over the place. I know farmers here were having trouble this year because they never know what the weather is going to be like. :/
I hear you. We need to change things fast before we ruin everything.

I have to confess Amy, I love bread and I can live on bread, avocado and tomato,lol. So if I eve come visit you, this is all I need plus some fruits, lol. And I am so happy for all three of you, living your dream ๐ ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐๐
Easy peasy. Though avocados have their season I reckon. Not sure when my supply will run dry. But always some fresh fruits and bread around hehe! Have a lovely week Lena!
I guess I will have to aim on avocado season, lol...........have a lovely week too Amy ๐ธ๐๐ธ
SO envious of your organic giant avo! And your bread making skills are on point! ๐
Gotta love my friends. Fresh avocados and a baker with 20 years experience. They truly made this dish.
Hehe good friends to have! ๐
Oooh what a handsome and nutritious plate of fresh food! I adore your photos in amongst lush greenery, it always makes everything so appealing, and my mouth practically overflows with drool as I scroll down haha :-) You sure are lucky to have an abundance of amazing fruits & veg. Great recipe, great post!
Thanks, Joanna! The garden is quite lush and wild these days with the non-stop rain.
