Veggie Sandwich

I tried this new recipe for lunch today and thought I'd share!  It was delicious, but also a bit messy so I ate it as an open faced sandwich with a fork and knife. It would be really good in a wrap as well.  I adapted this from the recipe here: http://www.ezrapoundcake.com/archives/16580 based on what I had in my kitchen.  The amounts below were what I used for one sandwich.  I made extra of the veggie mix and am saving it for another day.

Bread of your choice, toasted
1 Tbsp plain greek yogurt
dash of onion powder
dash of garlic salt
slice of pepper jack cheese
1/4 cucumber, diced
1/4 tomato, diced
1/3 avocado, diced
salt and pepper to taste
pinch of cilantro
splash of lime juice

Mix yogurt, onion powder and garlic salt in a small bowl and spread on toasted bread.  Add slice of pepper jack cheese (you could substitute another cheese but the pepper jack gives the sandwich good flavor).  Mixed chopped cucumber, tomato and avocado in a bowl with salt, pepper, cilantro and lime juice.  Spread veggie mix over bread and enjoy!

A new start

After seriously neglecting my blog, my husband has convinced me to give it another try. Fall always puts me in the mood to start new routines. I think I was lacking some direction for what to post on here, but I've decided to just share what's cooking in my kitchen. :)  Lately, I've been enjoying making things homemade that I would otherwise buy--bread, salsa, jam, etc.  We've also been trying to incorporate more vegetarian meals into our diet so you can expect to see some of those here as well.  I enjoy spending time in the kitchen so I hope you enjoy following along!
