Healthy Eating

     Michael is a self-taught cook and a mighty good one at that.  He didn't learn any cooking skills from his mom! 

One of our topics of conversation is food. Even though I am not a good cook, I do enjoy any food that is well-prepared and well-thought out. 

So, I am on my laptop scanning through recipes that we might try while I am here. We both are trying to eat healthier. 

This recipe was so far from what I am used to and definately not what I'd call a 'man sandwich' but I wanted to make it. That's what we had for lunch yesterday. 

And surprisingly, Michael pronounced it a winner. He's even going to add the recipe to his cookbook. 

 He headed to the garden where he picked the peppers we needed.

Then we got busy and created our sandwiches. Picture is of sandwich open face before we slapped the two halves together. 

The spread is made of cream cheese, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, lime juice and chopped chives. Then the toasted bread (we used sour dough) is layered with slices of avocado, cucumber and bell pepper. (We used banana pepper instead). 

It was very filling and quite delicious. 

I think chunks of crab meat added would be excellent. And it would make a great wrap. 

Here's the picture from Eating Well that inspired our take on it. 

It was a healthy lunch. But, we just could not resist a large Mr. Goodbar sitting on the counter so we had chocolate for dessert!
