Four simple breakfast toasts that are perfect for the fall! We're using hummus as our base then topping them with four incredible autumn flavor ideas!
Shove over smoothie bowls, I've got a new breakfast obsession: TOAST. Being abroad, away from my blender, my powders, my greens, I've been eating a lot more toast. It's on almost every menu here and I've been loving every minute of it!
