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.

Oh can’t wait to try this. Thanks for the recipe.
I like the idea of adding sweet potatoes! It looks very comforting and hearty for a cold winter day.

I love that this chowder has sweet potatoes in it! That alone ramps it up to a need-to-try-immediately status.
I made it last night! I didn’t have chicken stock, so I used beef stock – still good. The dash of cayenne is great and I loved that it has sweet potatoes! Brought the leftovers for lunch today 🙂 Yummy!
I have never had potato soup with sweet potatoes. It looks awesome! The bacon and cheese on top is definitely a necessity 🙂
Great chowder. I loved the creaminess of it. I added chopped carrots to it, they were a nice addition. I served it vegetarian style, without the bacon on top, and it was still yummy.n
I made this for dinner tonight. The sweet potato is a great addition!
