Pesto Pasta and Veggies

Use whole wheat pasta and add pesto, this is fresh pesto from a local farmer's market. For a side I zapped butternut squash and asparagus in my microwavable bowl. Careful, wheat pasta is more filling than regular so you may not need a lot!

Ham and Apple Sandwich

They used to serve this at my dining hall and I loved the idea and taste so here's a healthy version.

Just used olivio butter spread on whole wheat toast, layered low fat ham and two 

small (or one large) apple and grilled. Lovely taste combination and texture.

Veggie Chips

My first attempt at homemade chips, oven preheated to 400 degrees for 25 minutes, cut up squash, sweet potato, ad eggplant dipped in olive oil with sea salt on a baking sheet. They didn't come out crisp enough and were more like grilled veggies, but still very tasty. Next time will try baking longer and thinner slices.

Tomato Eggplant Pesto Pizza

Wheat bread with fresh pesto, tomato, eggplant, and provolone cheese, toasted. 

Butternut Squash Salad

So I bought this HUGE butternut squash, and realized I had no idea how to prepare it, I just knew I loved the taste. As with all my veggies, I put them in a small microwave plastic pot, zap it for a minute or two, and its as easy as that. For this dish I also grilled the squash on a tray in the oven. This salad also has turkey, Wheat Thins Flatbread crackers over romaine. Tasty :).

Turkey Avocado Salad

This salad requires no cooking and contains my favorite salad ingredient, avocado.

So simple - avocado, turkey, and Wheat Thins Flatbread crackers over romaine.

Tuna Provolone Salad

After making the tuna with kraft's olive oil mayo, I added it to a salad of romaine lettuce along with strips of provolone cheese, black olives, and crumbled crackers.
