Grilled Cheese Gone Wild

grilled cheese

There is nothing better than a grilled cheese sandwich. This comfort food can be twisted and turned into anything your heart desires. Here is a my take on the old fashioned grilled cheese sandwich.


Ingredients

2 slices of fresh Oat Nut bread
4 slices of green apple, thinly sliced
4 slices of creamy Havarti cheese
4 slices of Boars Head Honey Turkey
4 slices of butter



Directions

In a non stick skillet on medium high heat, butter one side of one slice of bread. Place your bread butter side down in your skillet. Add two slices of your Havarti cheese to that slice of bread followed by 4 of your apple slices. Add your turkey on top of your apple slices along with two more slices of Havarti. Butter your second piece of bread, placing it on top of your sandwich, butter side up. Let this side cook for 3 to 5 minutes. It is now time to flip your sandwich. The bottom piece of bread should be nice and golden brown and your cheese should also be melting. Flip carefully and let the other side of your sandwich grill to a golden brown. When your sandwich is nice and brown and all of your cheese is melted and bubbly you can remove it from the pan. Cut your sandwich in half and serve immediately. This recipe makes one sandwich.

Enjoy!

Thai Green Chicken Curry

Green Curry

My craving for this dish is becoming a problem! I could possibly eat this dish for dinner every night. Thai Green Curry is fresh and light, but super satisfying. Spicy and sweet, and the green beans give it that perfect crunch. Yum!!


Ingredients

1 Tbsp. canola oil
2 cups of french green beans, trimmed
1 onion, halved and sliced
4 gloves of garlic, chopped
2 Tbsp. Thai green curry paste
4 cups of thinly sliced chicken breasts, cooked
1 can (14oz) coconut milk
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 cup of sliced fresh basil
juice from 2 limes
Salt and pepper
Cooked basmati rice


Directions

Cook your rice and set aside.
Heat your oil in a large non stick skillet on med high heat. Let your oil heat up, add your raw chicken that is thinly sliced. Add your chopped garlic and cook your chicken until it is a golden brown and cooked throughly. Remove your chicken and set aside. Add your sliced onion to the skillet cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add your green beans, season with salt and pepper. Cook another 5 minutes. Add your curry paste, cook the paste scraping the bottom of your skillet, until the paste darkens a little, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the chicken back into the pan, along with the coconut milk, and chicken broth; bring to a boil.

Stir occasionally until the sauce starts to thicken. Cook for about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Add the lime juice and fresh basil. Serve over cooked rice. Serves 4

Enjoy!
