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.

    I love using veggies as a healthy substitute for pasta. My favorite is a little more obvious – spaghetti squash!

    Also, I got your DM about the photo. I’ve been crazy busy but I’ll email it to everyone tonight!

    This looks so good! Yummy produce is really the only thing I’ll miss about summer time. I came across your site earlier today while searching for a pumpkin spice cheesecake brownie recipe (which I plan on making tomorrow btw). You have some great recipes and I’ll definitely be returning!
