Toast is to 2015 as black leggings were to 2010.
They weren't a big deal until we made them a big deal.
I mean we all had them laying around. These old things?
But it's no longer just toast. And they weren't just black leggings.
It's an epically satisfying breakfast. It's the most comfortable pair of "pants" that have ever graced your legs. Ordinary life staples turned extraordinary a la sorority girls and/or twenty-somethings with an unhealthy addiction to instagramming their brunch. AKA me. AKA you.
Do you see the connection here?
I love cashew cream so hard. I usually throw it in soups and casseroles and enchiladas and things of that nature, but today, the cream by itself is the stahhh. I've already chatted your ear off about how it makes everything foodgasmical to the next dimension. I actually think cashews coined the phrase "I can't believe that's vegan."
Thank you, cashews, for making things so gosh darn deceptively creamy without any cream at all.
Pumpkin toast is the best thing since sliced bread which is ironic because that's what it is. I'm sorry that I just made toast even more basic that it already was. You're not even mad about it.
Eat your pumpkin toast in your shiny American Apparel leggings with straps around the foot or in your mom's faded pair from the eighties.
Eat your pumpkin toast with a pumpkin spice latte in a fuzzy plaid shirt with a fuzzy plaid scarf. So basic and so beautiful.

While I imagine it doesn't last long, still I have to ask.... Store in fridge? How long will it remain good? Thinking of giving as gifts to others!

Nothing has made me feel older than "Eat your pumpkin toast in your shiny American Apparel leggings with straps around the foot or in your mom’s faded pair from the eighties." I'm going to go reserve my spot in the nursing home now... 😉

Cashew cream is definitely one of the BEST things ever! I LOVE that you used it on toast. The pumpkin doesn't hurt either 😉

Dang girl, I like the way you think. I had this on my to-make list but you've just gone and done it. And very well, I might add. This is the toast is of the F-ing century! Mark my words. 🙂
Also, did you hear that American Apparel claimed bankruptcy? I guess their shiny leggings didn't catch on hard enough, ha!

I'm okay with being basic. The fact that toast is a "thing" in San Francisco (a ton of restos have toast menus wtf...) and that it may be a reason why I want to move to SF shows jut how basic I am. We have bigger problems to tackle than our basicness

I'm all about the cashew cream, especially when combined with pumpkin. OH and love the toast to leggings comparison--it's weirdly accurate in the best way.
