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 am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Raspberry and chipotle! what a combo. I love this idea. I could put chipotle in anything and be happy.

Chipotle is a flavor I’m learning to love as I use it more and more!
Holy yum! This jam reminds me of the sauce in one of my favorite appetizers from a little restaurant in Kansas. It was raspberry chipotle sauce combined with cream cheese and black beans, and it was served warm with tortilla chips. The best!

Is it So Long Saloon by chance?…
If so, check back on Tuesday…

BTW, I just saw in your bio that you went to Purdue – I did too! Aero engineering for me. Crazy about that shooting this week…
Yes, So Long Saloon! We lived in Manhattan for a few years while my husband worked on his PhD. Can’t wait to see what you’ve cooked up on Tuesday!
Goodness, what a coincidence that you are a Purdue alumna too! Yes, so crazy and so sad.
this is definitely one i’ll need to make, great flavor combo 🙂
Oh gosh, this is such a fun flavor combination 🙂 I can’t wait to try this out!
I am super excited to try this recipe out. I love idea of the sweet of the fruit and the heat of the pepper. I will let you know how mine turns out.
*I just moved to Boston which is how I found your website. I’m sorta sad that you moved back to Ohio because I would love to meet you. 😀

Hope it turns out well for you! We love this jam. It’s really good on a breakfast sandwich.
Oh, yum! I’m a great fan of using jams, marmalades and chutneys with meat in the crockpot or as a glaze on roasts. This would be perfect on a pork tenderloin.
how do you make it without the jam maker? I have a breadmaking machine that can make jelly, would it work about the same?
Are there any water bath instructions?
Thats look so delicious.. nice sharing
