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.

This looks delightful! Especially for this snowy Boston weather today 🙂

It’s snowy here in Cincinnati too. Not quite as snowy as Boston, but I’m not complaining about that!
This looks great! I love rutabagas and parsnips, especially in stews!

I was glad to try a recipe with rutabaga!
I hope the cruise was fun! This sounds like a great winter dish.

We had a blast on the cruise – wish we were still on it!
