Quick and Healthy Dinner for One
Hubby had to work late last night so I was on my own for dinner. We didn’t do our weekly meal planning and grocery shopping, so I had to throw some stuff together. I got inspiration from a recipe from Allrecipes.com. This was a great meal that literally took 5 minutes to make and kept me full all night. And it was really healthy!!
Goat Cheese / Pesto / SDT open face sandwich
2 pieces whole grain bread
1 oz Goat Cheese
~2 Tbsp pesto
Sun dried tomatoes
Preheat oven to 350. While oven is heating, assemble sandwiches.
Put a sheet of foil on a cookie sheet. Place bread on foil and spread cheese on bread. Spoon on pesto (as much or little as you like). Top with sun dried tomatoes.
Bake for 5 minutes until heated.
Quick steamed Squash
1 summer squash – cubed
1 tsp olive oil
seasoning of your choice – I used Mrs Dash chicken grilling seasoning
Put everything in a microwave bowl and heat for 60 seconds. Stir and heat 60 more seconds.

Oops! ingredients list omits shrimp and corn. Sounds intriguing tho and I’ll experiment.
I enjoy reading your recipes and have tried quite a few to great success.
Altho I no longer live there (thanks endless winter!) I grew up in MA so I enjoy your short bio. Great site.
Thanks!

Thanks for pointing this out! You’re right the shrimp and corn aren’t in the recipe. I’ll update it now.
The winters are ruthless in MA for sure!
Thanks for responding, Wicked Awesome. And thanks for indicating the amount of shrimp to be used.
But the amount of corn is still missing in the ingredients list although its included in the directions … so I’ll improvise. Thanks for a great recipe.
Sorry to be such a pain in the patootie.

Sorry for all the confusion! I didn’t use corn when I made this recipe. The original recipe called for 1 cup of frozen corn.
