Friday & Saturday

I stole this idea from Mrs H but edited a few things, as usual. Mostly because I didn't have all the right ingredients. This is a personal salad. Make for yourself for a snack. All the amounts would be doubled, if not tripled for two.
Tomato Salad
olive oil
1 Roma tomato, sliced
10 black olives, pitted
1 tbsp green pepper, diced
1 tbsp white onion, diced
1 tbsp mozzarella, cubed
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1 tbsp agave nectar
sea salt
dried oregano
dried thyme
dried rosemary
fresh garlic, minced

In a mason jar, combine olive oil, vinegar, and agave. Add salt, oregano, thyme, rosemary, and garlic to mix. Seal and set in freezer.
Saute diced onion and diced pepper in cast iron skillet. Slice tomato and arrange in bowl. Add mozzarella and olives. Top with sauteed veggies. Pull dressing out of the freezer and pour on top.
Place remaining dressing in refrigerator. Enjoy :)

Of course, for breakfast, I had a bacon egg taco. For dinner last night, I had a veggie salad (all of my veggies diced and thrown together). For lunch yesterday, I had a grilled cheese sandwich.



Grilled Cheese
4 slices of Genesis bread
2 Roma tomato
1/4 cup red onion
1/4 cup green onion
1/4 cup green pepper
Spring lettuce
mozzarella
olive oil
Dice one tomato, red onion, green onion, and green pepper. Saute in olive oil. Drizzle bread with olive oil. Slice remaining tomato, and mozzarella. Grill bread on cast iron skillet. After you flip the bread, add the cheese, tomato, and lettuce. Place sauteed veggies on top of lettuce and add second slice of bread on top. Leave on skillet for a few more minutes to let the cheese melt.


Tonight, we're supposed to be grilling salmon. We'll see how that goes.

Wednesday Thursday

Yesterday, Mrs H made black bean patties. EPIC! She got the recipe off of Food Network. She also made some cheesy grits to go on top of the black bean patty. At first, that sounded gross to me, but if Mrs H thinks it's good, I'll give it a try. It was not only good, but it was grrrrrrrrrrreat! I'm putting it on the menu for next week. There are a few things to edit to make it vegan, but I can make it work, hopefully. To my few and far between readers, if you have yet to visit Mrs H's blog yet, go now. She's great. For lunch, we just ate here and there, like usual. For breakfast, I had a bagel with eggs and a banana. Today for breakfast, I had another bagel. Dad wouldn't buy me the donuts that I really wanted because "They're not on the diet." From the man that tells me everything needs meat. For lunch, Dad took me to a neat little burger joint. I worked there a few summers ago and I trust the meat. It's not healthily cooked but it's not from testosterone pumped cows. They buy their beef from local farmers. I appreciate that. For dinner, we're either gonna do a Fiesta Salad again (Jason really liked that but I didn't care too much for it) or we'll do my new Grilled Cheese. I haven't decided yet what I want to fix.

Tuesday - Breakfast

I created this morning. It was completely on a whim. I mentioned to Jason that we might have avocado sandwiches and leftovers tonight. He said "Ooo! Let's put some of that mozzarella on the sandwiches!" I thought Hmmmmm.... That's a nice idea. But grilled cheese is a better one! So I decided to make grilled Genesis bread mozzarella cheese sandwiches. But oh my! That wasn't good enough. I needed onions. I need peppers. I needed taste and flavor and pizazz! Viola! New awesome sandwich has been created!!
Grilled Cheese
4 slices Genesis bread
4 slices mozzarella cheese
1 slice red onion (4 or 5 actual rings)
1/4 cup green bell pepper (diced)
1/4 cup green onions (diced)
1/4 cup portabella mushroom (diced)
extra virgin olive oil
Brush the bread with olive oil. Cover pan with thin layer of olive oil to grill. Place bread on skillet, once hot. Saute pepper, green onion, and mushroom together in separate skillet. Set aside. Flip bread and place cheese on each slice. Grill onion. Put half of the veggies on one side of bread and cover with opposite bread slice. Use other half of veggies for the second sandwich. Enjoy!
