Tomato, Pesto, Feta grilled sandwich
I'm not sure this one needs explanation. If you can make a grilled cheese sandwich, it is very similar. Spread margarine on 2 pcs of whole wheat bread. Place one margarine- side down, layer fresh tomato slices, feta, black olives, and spread pesto over the top. Cover with other slice of bread, margarine side up. Cook over medium heat until both sides are crisp. Serve with fresh tomato soup for a very healthy, delish meal.
My son is home from Basic/AIT!!!!!
Since my oldest son has returned from Ft.Leonard wood, he has been on a health kick (yeah!)
this gives me a litle leverage with the other kids about eating healthier foods in place of take out or fattening, sugary foods.
A few of us went to a fruit farm and bought a bushel of mixed apples home. We have been enjoying homemade applesauce and apple crisp (healthy version) for dessert or with dinner. It was a great experience and even better for encouraging us to eat our "apple a day."
I hope you all take the time to eat the harvest of Autumn..apples, pumpkins, nuts, seeds, squash...yummy!
