Recipe Share: Grilled Veggie Sandwich with Herbed Mayo

When my twin sister, Jaime, a food lover like me, was in town, she told me we MUST make Rachael Ray's veggie sandwiches, so I agreed. And boy am I glad I did!

To say that this is a delicious sandwich is a complete understatement. I was literally saying, "yum", and "oh my", with every bite! Even if you don't think you like grilled veggies, try this and you will!

Something about the herbed mayo, creamy avocado, the taste of the grilled veggies and bread make it melt in your mouth! So yummy!

Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

veggies of choice (we used portobello mushroom caps, zucchini, eggplant, red onion, tomato, avocado, and green leafy lettuce)

olive oil

salt and pepper

ciabatta rolls

Herbed Mayo:

3/4 cup mayo

1/2 lemon, juiced
a few drops of hot sauce

1-2 garlic cloves, minced

1-2 Tbsp. thyme leaves, chopped finely
1-2 Tbsp. flat leaf parsley, chopped finely
1-2 Tbsp. chives, chopped finely
(I've made these without the parsley and chives, because I only had thyme on hand, and they were awesome still. Just use what you have.)

Instructions:

Slice eggplant, zucchini and onion into thin 1/2 inch slices. Take stem off portobello mushroom. Brush all veggies with olive oil and salt and pepper them. Grill over medium high heat until tender. (Mine took about 10-15 mins or so). Mix herbed mayo. Brush ciabatta rolls with olive oil and grill for a few minutes. Spread mayo on rolls, layer up veggies, add tomato, avocado, and lettuce if preferred. Enjoy!

You really must try these soon. You will fall deeply in love with them and then find yourself begging for more!

Kid's bedroom series: Cohen's Captain America themed wall gallery.

Cohen's gallery wall is up! It's taken me a while to gather everything and get it up the way I envisioned. I love these photos from Cohen's baptism day so much; I had to include them. And here's his brother print my sis designed. Love it so much. The Captain America piggy bank is from the same American Nostalgia store I mentioned in my previous post. That store was so fun! I had a hard time limiting my purchases when I was there. The photo here of the boys at Mission Beach looking for sand crabs is one of my all time favorites of them. This geometric canvas I found just recently at Target. I also bought a green version for Ren's room, of course. I will post more pics of Cohen's rooms soon. It is almost complete! Wahoo!

Friendship themed Relief Society Dinner.

I spent a lot of time planning for our big Relief Society dinner/Visiting Teaching Conference. After tossing around a lot of ideas, I finally settled on the theme of friendship. I saw this Mary Engelbreit illustration and quote that I loved, and it became the basis for the whole night. I had so much help from Jaime, my sis. She designed these awesome invitations and helped me so much as I planned the décor . Another sweet friend, Katie, helped me with the food.. we decided to have it catered by Kneaders. We had to go eat there to really look at everything and decide.. ;) We even tried some desserts just to be sure.. it was fun, fun!! I bought this adorable polka dot teapot there that I just knew I wanted to use. Another dear friend, Sarah, who is crazy talented by the way, went with me to Hobby Lobby and The Dollar Store with me for frames, vases, and other décor.. we found these adorable artificial fruits that ended up being perfect for the theme. I'd printed out ...

And you'll find that you feel full for quite awhile after eating this! Ingredients : 1/3 - 1/2 C. Chopped veggies (any kind you like - I used mushrooms, red, yellow, and orange peppers, and onions) 2 eggs 2 Tbsp. shredded cheese (any kind you like - I used Monterey Jack) 1 tsp. olive oil fresh flat leaf parsley or cilantro, chopped for garnish whole grain bread (I like to use Sara Lee's 45 Calories and Delightful bread) Directions : Heat your oil in your saute pan over medium heat. Saute all your vegetables until tender, 3-4 minutes. Mix your eggs together in a bowl with a fork or whisk. Add in your eggs and cheese to the pan with your veggies. Stir until firm, but not brown.
