-        <h3>Description</h3>
-        <p>
-            Yes, I'm a millenial and yes I love me some avocado toast.
-            Bite me. :p What I love even more, though, is just how versatile
-            this dish is. 
-        </p>
-        <p>
-            Avocado toast can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be.
-            Sometimes, I just want just the bread and avacado. Other times, I'm
-            gormet it up, taking as much as a half hour to get my toast ready!
-        </p>
-        <p>This recipe will focus on the basics, but you can do up your avocado
-            toast however you want to. 
-        </p>
-        <p>And with that in mind, let's get to it!</p>
-
-        <h3>Ingredients</h3>
-        <ul>
-            <li>One medium to large avocado</li>
-            <li>A couple slices of nice quality bread</li>
-            <li>Butter or olive oil</li>
-            <li>Optional toppings and condiments of your choosing</li>
+        <ul class="recipe-menu">
+            <li><a href="../index.html">Home</a></li>
+            <li><a href="./greenbean-casserole.html"> Green Bean Casserole</a></li>

+            <li><a href="./stove-popped-popcorn.html">Stove Popped Popcorn</a></li>
         </ul>
 
-        <h3>Steps</h3>
-        <ol>
-        <li>Heat up some butter or olive oil in a pan.</li>
-        <li>Soak up that melted butter or oil with the bread.</li>
-        <li>Toast it. Now you have a few options here:
-                <ul>
-                    <li>You can leave it in the pan and let it toast that way, or/li>
-                    <li>You can remove the bread and toast in an oven or toaster.</li>
-                </ul>
-                Personally, I prefer letting my bread toast on the stove on medium heat.
-        </li>
-        <li>While your bread toasts, slice up your avocado. I know some 
-                people like to smush the avocado to hell. If you're one of those
-                people, more power to you, but I'm not about that life. If I
-                wanted guacamole, then I'd make that... properly --- but you do you. ;)
-                Also, <strong>keep an eye your toast!</strong> Toasty bread has a
-                way of sneaking up on you.
-        </li>
-        <li>Add the avocado to your toasty bread and enjoy! <em>Ooorr...</em></li>
-        <li>Gourmet it up and add some of your favorite toppings to it.
-                I personally enjoy fresh greens, roasted tomato, cheese, mustard,
-                and sometimes the occasional fried egg and hot sauce - but that's
-                getting into sandwich territory lol.

-        <p>
-            Green bean casserole has been a favorite of mine since childhood.
-            It's creamy, cheesy, crunchy, fresh and <em>super</em> easy to make!
-            It only takes a few minutes of prep and about 30 minutes of cook time ---
-            depending on your oven of course. 
-        </p>
-        <p>So without further ado, let's dive in to the recipe!</p>

-                water from the green beans in reserve.
-            </li>
-            <li>In a large baking pan or oven safe skillet, add the cream of
-                mushroom soup and green beans. Mix evenly.
-            </li>
-            <li>Take half of the french onions and mix them in with green beans.</li>

-            </li>
-            <li>Once the bake time is over, take the casserole out of the oven and let
