Beet Sandwiches

Another stolen recipe.......from my friend Mere.  This is suck a good, filling vegetarian meal that you don't even feel like you didn't have any meat with dinner.  So yummy!!

Ciabatta rolls
fresh motz cheese sliced
fresh beets
balsamic vinegar or a basalmic vinegar sauce (I have one that is a little sweet and a little spicy, purchased at one of those fancy kitchen shops)
olive oil
S&P

Slice the rolls.  Drizzle a little olive oil on.  Scrub the beets with a veggie brush under running water.  Slice the Beats about 1/3 in thick.  Drizzle a cookie sheet with olive oil. Spread the beets out on the cookie sheet, sprinkle with S&P and add another olive oil drizzle.  Bake at 400 for about 30 minutes, until semi tender.  About 5 min before the beats are done put the buns in the oven to toast them.  Put some balsamic on the bun, then some motz and some beets.  Eat the sandwich!!

Kelsey's Salmon Tin Foil Dinner

I can not take credit for this recipe idea.  I totally stole it from my friend Kelsey!  It's easy and good and you can put so many variations on it that you feel like it is a different meal every time.  You could make individual ones for each person or I just make one big one and Jake and I share it.

Tin Foil :)
Salmon Filet
Tomato (canned or sliced)
Onion (sliced)
Asparagus
Zucchini and/or yellow squash
(any combo of veggies or ones you just have sitting around will work)
Lemon sliced or lemon juice
Garlic
S&P


Prepared orzo, quinoa or risotto
(I buy the flavored quinoa or risotto so the dinner isn't bland)
When I made it with orzo I mixed in some ricotta cheese and parm to make it tasty)

Lay out the tin foil.  Put a drizzle of olive oil in to keep it from sticking.  Place salmon fillet in first followed by the pasta/quinoa and then everything else.  Bake in the oven at 400 for about 20-30 min depending on size of salmon.  Eat when salmon cooked and flaky.
