Ok, I really went for it today. I had to get a phone and I went all the way for the big guns- the Iphone 6 plus. It is enormous and I totally hesitated- but every single person I know loves it, so I impulse purchased it. I am mostly excited about the sparkly case I got for it, but second after that is the camera on this bad boy. I think it will encourage me to use my phone camera more when I am with the kids (and it’s going to help my instagram game, I can just feel it!) Although, I must say- I feel a bit like I am holding a laptop to the side of my head when I talk on the phone? I think this will take some getting used to…
So in celebration of me FINALLY having a phone again, I have another #ToastyTuesday –“not a recipe” for you. So while it’s not a recipe it is indeed the best snack I have had in the last week.
I had leftover beet hummus from school lunches and slathered it on some gf vegan baguette that I had. Then, obviously I had to add crunchy Persian cucumbers. Plus I had cherry tomatoes from the garden and some olives in the fridge. When I had the first bite it was really good, but missing something….
So that’s when I added the shaved red onion, because well, that’s definitely what was missing.
This is the kind of thing I would eat for breakfast, lunch, a late afternoon snack or just in place of dinner when Pete is out of town. I love the color, the textures and the great combo of flavors. It is in fact what I had for dinner last night and then I followed it up responsibly with two of these. Ahhhh……

Yum! I’ve never made beet hummus but it always sounds so delish. Gotta try this!
I love beet hummus! This is a fabulous use for it 🙂
I am loving all of your Toasty Tuesday posts, such a fun idea! And, you are going to LOVE the 6 plus! I have it and would never go back. In fact, just try typing on one of the smaller phones next week and you’ll wonder how you ever did it! Enjoy!
Why are they making phones BIGGER, isn’t the point of a cellphone to have something small? Haha! I have the old Droid Razer Maxx and it’s big, I like a big screen, but some of these new phones are just like tablets!
