Relaxing Weekend
Note the difference between my dinner when my chef roommate cooks and when I cook for just myself…
Friday night–>Chef
I loved this dish! Angel hair pasta is my favorite I think… So delicate and it goes great with everything! There is also chopped asparagus, cherry tomatoes, browned chicken and pine nuts mixed in. Perfect with a splash of red wine.
Saturday Night–>Me
Mm grilled cheese. Don’t be fooled, this can be healthy too! When I make dinner for just myself, I go for easy and low-cost.
Ways to bump up the nutrition of your typical greasy sandwich:
- I used Ezekial Sprouted Grain bread (cinnamon raisin) which is full of fiber and protein. Any whole grain bread is a good choice!
- Go easy on the cheese. While cheese isn’t a “bad” food it does have a lot of saturated fat and is calorically dense, so keep it reasonable.
- Add some vegetables. I actually had some low-sodium tomato soup on the side but didn’t take a picture. Sometimes I even add veggies inside the sandwich, but it really is up to you!
Now it’s Sunday. I typically make a big meal that I can eat throughout the week for easy lunches and dinners. I’m stumped! Any suggestions?
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend–enjoy what’s left!
