I wanted to post a healthy recipe on my blog today and had planned on making black bean burritos. Bossman decided that he was in the mood for a cheeseburger which turned into a Baconator from Wendy's. He looked at our son, Daniel, and said "if you'll fly, I'll buy". That's how we ended up eating Wendy's tonight. I told you this would be a daunting task right? Slow and easy. However, last week I made these vegetable sandwiches and posted a blog on my Christi's Collections blog. I'm borrowing it to post over here so I have something here to start with. We'll do black bean burritos later this week. So, stay tuned!
Ingredients:
Egg Plant
Tomato
Onion
Zucchini
Bread of choice
Pesto Sauce
Olive Oil
You can use any vegetable that you want as long as you can grill them. I didn't have zucchini this time so I just left it out - but I have used squash instead of zucchini also and that was really good, too.
Peel and slice the eggplant and zucchini or squash. Slice the tomato and onion.
Preheat your grill while slicing veggies. Place veggies on grill and heat thoroughly. I like to brown them slightly so that they get soft.
While veggies are grilling, slice choice of bread in half lengthwise and brush olive oil on the insides. Place finished veggies on top shelf of grill to keep warm while you grill the bread. The bread will only take a few minutes.
Spread pesto sauce on bread and then put veggies of choice to make a sandwich. Add a side of pasta or cottage cheese or fruit to keep it healthy. Here's a picture of the finished product ~
By the way, these pictures were taken with my iPhone :)
Enjoy!
