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 like to stuff my squash with something savory, like spicy sausage stuffing but your dish makes me re-think the whole concept!
WOW this looks so good! Thank you for this recipe!
I’m so glad you liked this. It is absolutely one of our favorite side dishes this time of year. Your pics are beautiful!
what an awesome recipe!!! keeping it in mind…..
This looks so delicious! I have an acorn squash sitting on my counter at home…
This looks awesome! I roasted an acorn squash the other night and chopped it up and threw it in a salad. You’re making me wish I had stuffed it instead though!
I linked to this recipe from Examiner. 🙂
This is awesome! Thanks for the post, the pics are great. Have never tried this before, it is a must. Also we will certainly be telling all of our walnut loving friends about it. This is a perfect post for #WalnutWednesday!
These looks fantastic!! great post 🙂
WOW – these do look like the perfect side dish. Will definitely have to give them a trial run before turkey day.
hmm… is this something you think could be adapted for use with butternut squash? Obviously not really “stuffed”. I have a butternut that I’m looking for something to do with…
Yum!!! 😀
What a delicious and tasty looking recipe! It just screams Fall!
