Jalapeno & Avocado Grilled Cheese

We've been trying diligently to stick to our week day Paleo diet lifestyle and with exception of maybe 1 glass of wine after a particularly long day at school we've been successful to sticking to it pretty religiously.

But on the weekends we let ourselves enjoy in some of our cravings and non-Paleo choices. And for the most part we still stick to the mostly Paleo versions of our cravings. With exception of last weekend. For whatever reason grilled cheese on sourdough was all G could think about and his talking about it make me start desiring it too.

 

 

So we gave in, added some creamy avocado and bold jalapenos and this sinfully good sandwich emerged.

 

It was indulgent and delicious.

 

Recipe:

 

Jalapeno and Avocado Grilled Cheese

4 slices sourdough bread

4 slices of colby-jack cheese

1/2 sliced avocado

1 jalapeno very thinly sliced

1 Tblspn butter

 

Layer bread with cheese, ( we put a slice on each side to sandwich the jalapeno & avocado inbetween the cheese), jalapeno and avocado slices. Lightly spread outter sides of bread with butter. Cook until cheese melted.

 

 



Pear, Ham & Swiss Panini

Sometimes it really is true; the most simple of recipes really are the best tasting recipes. And when these simple recipes include the best flavors complemented by each other the work is done for you in creating the best treat. 

So if you haven't paired pears, ham and Swiss cheese together then you don't yet know what you are missing. But we encourage you to give it a try. It's a step above your basic grilled cheese, which we also love!

Super simple: take some good rustic bread, smear the bread with some good Dijon mustard, layer with ripe sliced pears, a slice or two of some ham and a slice or two of Swiss cheese and then lightly spread some butter on the outside pieces of bread and cook  in a panini press until melted. If you don't have a panini press...cooking them the old fashioned way on the stovetop in a skillet works just great too.

So good, so easy, so perfect for a lazy, rainy weekend afternoon.
