Avocado Mango Smoothie, aka The Joann Special
Avocado, Mango, Goat Cheese and Coconut Smoothie, with a hint of vanilla, balsamic vinegar, and… fresh basil! It might sound like a strange combination, but it works so utterly beautifully, I can’t even find the words to express it. You HAVE to try that one for yourself.
687. Waldorf Salad
Having spent the past few months unemployed (which is about to come to an end :) ), I’ve been trying to at least use my time productively by making myself slightly more interesting lunches than just the standard soup or sandwich. The other day I decided to make myself a Waldorf salad, and topped it off with some grilled chicken. I’ve seen Waldorf salads with a few different bits and pieces added to them, but I kept mine to the basics - apples, celery, walnuts and a light mayonnaise dressing.

Damn Delicious: Loaded Potato Skins -
Every time Jason comes home, I love fattening him up. He’s completely deprived of quality, homemade food when he’s up north so I make it a mission to have his favorite foods all lined up. These potato skins was one of the many fattening, artery-clogging food items that I made for him when he…

Garlicky Chicken Sandwich with Swiss Cheese, Avocado and Sun Dried Tomatoes
This was our lunch today and features Romaine lettuce from the edible front yard garden. Yumm! This is easy, I bought all the other ingredients from TJ’s this morning, including the ciabatta rolls.
Heat a skillet to med high, add a little grape seed oil. Season boneless skinless chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Add the chicken pieces to the hot pan and don’t move them until they get a golden crust on the bottom. Crush 2 cloves garlic with a garlic press, spread the raw garlic on the uncooked side, flip and cover, leaving the lid off at the side to let some steam escape. Keep cooking until cooked through and the juices have reduced a little. About 10-15 minutes. Add chopped Swiss cheese and partially cover again until melted. Remove to a plate and let rest for a minute.
Cut ciabatta rolls in half and toast under the broiler or in a toaster oven being careful not to burn the tops of them like I did.
Slice avocados, shred lettuce. Spread a little mayo on the top bun, add some sun dried tomatoes, julienned or sliced if they aren’t already. Place the chicken on the bottom, add shredded lettuce and avocado. Season with salt and pepper. Yum!
