Channeling the Grilled Cheese Truck

This was adapted from the Grilled Cheese Truck star item, Cheesy Mac and Rib.  London Ly had made this for me and i had to share it with someone special!

You'll need:
EXTRA SHARP cheddar cheese
Macaroni and cheese (i bought the one in the tub at the deli, but you can make your own!)
Jack Daniels BBQ pulled pork
Sourdough bread
2-3 tbsp of butter

Serving 2

Get that cheese on the grater!  Need about 2 cups

Unwrap the pulled pork and cook at med-low heat in a medium pan

Next, heat up the mac and cheese in a small pot


Butter up your sourdough bread and place on medium pan on med-low heat.  Add the sharp cheddar and cover with lid so cheese will start to melt

Once the macaroni and pulled pork is cooked, layer them both on the bread.  I flipped the sandwich a couple time to make sure both sides were cooked.  But be careful if you're using large pieced of bread.  I needed my cooking assistant to help or else everything would have fallen out!

Voilà!
Buon Apétito!
Might want a little champagne to go with that!

Weekend Treats!

The Greenz truck came by the office last week.  Here is The Italian

Easy vegan overnight oats, my new fave breakfast!

banana eggrolls from PF Changs!

Protein Power Bowl

Made this one for dinner last night/lunch today!  I did half of the recipe since it normally makes SIX servings!!  Below is my half recipe.  Got this from Oh She Glows!

1c. chopped asparagus
1 can chickpeas
1c. uncooked quinoa
1/2 diced sweet onion
1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper to taste
basalmic dressing to taste
1/2 c. sunflower seeds
2 tbsp chia seeds

First cook up the quinoa.  Boil 2 cups of water with 1 cup quinoa and simmer until cooked.  While thats cooking, chop up your onion and asparagus


Sautee onion in olive oil with garlic until transparent.  Add asparagus and continue to sautee with salt and pepper.

Once the asparagus and onion is cooked, add some balsalmic vinegar.  I love this one from We Olive in Ventura, CA
Now just bring it all together!  Start with the quinoa, then layer on the asparagus and onion sauté, chickpeas, sunflower seeds, and chia.  I drizzled some more balsamic on before I mixed it all up!
