Chicken Melt with Veggies

 Yum.  I LOVE warm sandwiches, even if it is 2,000 degrees outside.  I liked using the whole wheat English muffins versus a bagel or even bread since they are lower calorie for the two.  When I keep the sandwich open-faced, I feel like I'm eating a TON of food.  It's all a mind game, I tell you :)

a few slices of red pepper, red onion, tomato and whatever else floats your boat

Take the English muffin, slice it in half and toast it.  Smash some avocado on each side of the muffin. then divide the chicken and cheese in half and place it on the two halves.  Zap it in the microwave until cheese is melted, around 45 sec - 1 minute.   Remove from microwave, sprinkle with spices, and load up your sandwich with plenty of veggies.

BBQ Wrap

Now that summer has hit, I crave barbeque everything.  Too bad our grill was just on the curb for bulk trash pick up due to its slow death.  So, I have to get my fix in other ways.  This wrap is completely perfect in every way.  

Open-Ended BBQ Chicken Wrap

Just wrap this baby up and eat it like a movie star.

Cucumber Sandwich

Cucumber Sandwich

1 oz goat cheese
1/4 of a cucumber

Wow, I loved this quick sandwich. I'm still thinking about it. I slathered the goat cheese on the bread, then stuck it in the oven on broil for a few minutes on each side so it got nice and crispy. After removing it from the oven, I placed some cucumbers in there for some crunch.
