Spinach and Caramelized Onions Grilled Cheese



I think, grilled cheese is universally liked.  It has changed over the years.  When I was a kid, grilled cheese was a slice of American cheese with a slice of tomato, grilled.  It was delicious then but now it has taken on a new life.  Grilled cheese has many additions.  My favorite is avocado.  Although, after eating the caramelized onions and spinach on this one, I may have a new favorite.

 I also think that people often think of tomato soup as an accompaniment to the sandwich but I tried potato soup and it was a yummy combination.
Ingredients

1 cup spinach leaves, cooked slightly




2 teaspoons olive oil

1 medium red onions, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices

1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 slices gluten-free bread

Cooking spray

1/8 cup Parmesan cheese

4 slices spicy cheese

Method:

 Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. 


Add oil. 


Add onion and cook 10 minutes or until onion is tender and browned, stirring frequently. 


Heat a large nonstick skillet (I have an electric one and the shape is square so it accommodates the 4 sandwiches easily) over medium heat. 


Spray bottom of skillet.

Place bread down in skillet.

Sprinkle 1 tablespoon Parmesan on 1 bread slice in pan. 

Top with a few spinach leaves, some of the onion and a slice of cheese.

Top with other toasted bread slice. 

Cover will heavy pan and push down gently.

Cook on first side for about two minutes or until medium brown.

Turn each sandwich over and cook for another minute.

Remove from pan and serve.



Eat and enjoy.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. Brussels sprouts like broccoli and cabbage are cruciferous. This group offers a unique composition of antioxidants that may provide several health benefits. Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi

Carrot Cake _ Power Food - repost

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I
