Grilled Avacado, Goat Cheese and Spinach Sandwich


I stumbled upon this sandwich tonight while I was perusing Pinterest and I had all the ingredients in the fridge...perfect.

This is a healthy and delicious meatless option...here you go!

Ingredients:

2 slices of bread (I used a whole grain with lots of "stuff" in it)
1/4 avocado-sliced
Goat cheese crumbles
2 slices Mozzerella, or other gooey, melty cheese...I used Gouda
Handful of Spinach
Prepared pesto (I didn't have any pesto, so I just sprinkled on some basil...it would have been even more amazing if I had it!)
Butter

Directions:

1. Butter each slice of bread and spread on some pesto
2. Put the cheese on the bread. 
3. Layer on the avocado slices. 
4. Sprinkle on goat cheese. (Sprinkle on some basil if you didn't use pesto)
5. Layer the spinach. 
6. Put the other slice of cheese and the other slice of bread. 
7. Cook it like a grilled cheese!

Red Chicken Curry

A few weeks ago, Amy and I made Red Chicken Curry. I love the flavors and smells of a good curry! This recipe is a staple in our house (at least 4 times a year that is). My friend passed it along to me. The secret is Trader Joe's Red Curry Sauce. If you don't have a Trader Joe's nearby, I would just skip on over to the next recipe.

Red Chicken Curry
















  • Trader Joe's Red Curry Sauce (I buy 2 jars to make a larger batch with TONS of flavor!!)
  • Broccoli (fresh or frozen) - Eyeball it! I love broc! - Cut into Bit-Size Pieces
  • 1 Small Can of Water Chestnuts
  • 2 - 3 Idaho Potatoes, Peeled and Cut into Bit-Size Pieces
  • 1/2 Cup of Frozen Peas
  • 1 - 2 Onions, Chopped
  • 2 Chicken Breasts, Cut into Bit-Size Pieces
  • Rice
















1. Cook chicken on the stove top with some olive oil.
2. Boil potatoes and thaw other veggies, if necessary.
3. Put all ingredients in a dutch oven.
4. Simmer on stove top for 30+ minutes (follow directions on the back of the Trader Joe's Red Curry Sauce jar for specifics).
5. Cook rice according to instructions while you wait.
