What I [Baked/Roasted/Grilled] Wednesday
I’ve been whipping up a lot of things in the kitchen these days. A lot of easy things.
So obviously, I’m going to show you what I’ve been up to!
Breakfast: Baked
I had so much fun with the Samoa Granola, that I made a cookie dough granola recipe that turned out even better than I imagined. (It’s also low in calories, fat, and sugar… so come back Friday for the recipe!)
I had a banana smoothie (in a bowl, because it’s more fun that way) topped with freshly baked granola for breakfast.
Lunch: Roasted
Ok, the Kashi meal wasn’t roasted. Just popped in the microwave.
It was pretty good… for a microwave dinner (although Kashi meals tend to be expensive… so I feel they should be held to a higher standard…)
I hate it with a side of roasted broccoli, leftover from the night before. I literally just sprayed it with olive oil, added salt & italian seasonings, and roasted until tender. Easy? Yes.
Dinner: Grilled
I re-made a meal that Alexa and I tested out during her visit. Fancy pants grilled cheese.
Fancy Pants Grilled Cheese
- 2 slices whole wheat bread
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp parmesan cheese
- 1/4 avocado, sliced thin
- Ketchup + Siracha for dipping
I just grilled it on my george foreman grill, but it would work just as well in a frying pan. Served with a side of carrots and hummus!
I seriously can NOT wait to make that granola! And that grilled cheese reminds me of the grown up grilled cheese at my favorite diner in NJ – so yummy!
Ooh that banana smoothie looks amazing!
your smoothies looks so goood! like icecream! yum.
i could also definatly go for that grilled cheese. i bet the avocado makes it heavenly! 🙂
Grilled cheese is one of my favorite sandwiches ever! I love your “fancypants” version!!!
You have no idea how excited I am for cookie dough granola!
Such fun loving spring time food. I love all things roasted and grilled. I think I need to fire up the grill at my house now 🙂
I have been a bit of failure in the kitchen lately…I’ve been “assembling” a lot. 🙂
I want a granola swap!!!!
We should totally do that!!!!!!
Target sometimes has the Kashi meals on sale 😉 fyi
will you eat cooked carrots or carrot muffin from “real” bakery?
You and your taunting us with granola recipes ;D Can’t wait to see this one–the last looked so good too! And your way of cooking broccoli=my favorite way to cook broccoli. And brussels sprouts. And most every veggie, haha. I’ve been baking some sweet potato, roasting some asparagus and grilling…well, it sure would be nice to have a grill!
