Mediterranean Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Mediterranean Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Ingredients

2 slices rustic white bread or sourdough bread (I used Whole Wheat)

1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil, divided

2 oz. Mozzerella Cheese (sliced)

1 oz. Wisconsin Feta cheese, crumbled

2 cups fresh spinach

4 Roma tomato slices

2 Tbsp diced black olives

1 Tbsp finely chopped red onion

2 tsp chopped fresh basil

1/4 tsp finely minced garlic (about 1/3 clove)

Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a non-stick 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add garlic and spinach and saute until spinach begins to wilt, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat, stir in basil and set aside. To assemble sandwich, spread Mozzarella and Feta cheese over one slice of bread into an even layer. Layer tomatoes in a single layer over cheese. Spread spinach mixture over tomatoes then sprinkle olives and red onions over tomatoes. Season with freshly ground black pepper and top with remaining slice of bread.

Spread 1 tsp olive oil evenly over skillet, add sandwich and heat over medium-low heat. Cook until bottom is golden brown, about 3 - 4 minutes, then remove sandwich from pan. Spread remaining 1 tsp olive oil evenly along skillet, carefully rotate sandwich to opposite side and return to pan over medium-low heat. Cover skillet with lid and cook until bottom is golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

This may be my new favorite lunch!!! 

T25 WEEK 3 DAY 4

WEEK 3 DAY 4

FOCUS T 25

So I had an exhausting evening and definitely did not wake up this morning prior to work to get my workout in. ughh! I know if I would have gotten up, I would have been fine, but I’m human and do these things sometimes.

 I had my shake for work which was great- Berrylicious Blast SHAKEOLOGY made with Greenberry Shakeology! 

For my snack, I had plain Greek yogurt with fresh blueberries (1/2  cup) and kashi go lean cereal (¼ cup).

I was starving for lunch even though I was drinking my water, so I had ½ medium sweet potato and Quinoa salad from the Ultimate Reset.  This is definitely one of my favorite meals from the Reset cleanse! 

My 4^th meal, or should I say snack was raw veggies with ¼ cup hummus and 1 oz raw almonds.

For dinner, I had a greek salad with kalamata olives, feta cheese , with a piece of grilled chicken.  I used oil and vinegar for my dressing!!

No evening snack! Drank lots of water!!

Just because you do not workout, does not mean you need to ruin your nutrition part!  Remember, nutrition is 80% of your weight loss!! If you can’t do it all, do what you can to get the most of your results!! It’s an early night for me so I will update tomorrow!!
