A delicious Panini

I recently stumbled upon This. That looks pretty good, doesn't it?

Alas, not vegan, OR gluten free. I felt like this needed to be rectified. However, there's a problem.

I can't make grilled cheese sandwiches. I wish I was kidding about this, but I have never been able to cook grilled cheese. I always either burn them, or the cheese wasn't melted. I was terrible. TERRIBLE.

Until Matthew got me a panini press that is.

Guacamole and 'Cheese' Panini with Garlicy Potato Wedges

Ingredients

1/2 an avocado

1/2 a small tomato

a bit of garlic (to taste)

Lime juice (to taste)

Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Cheddar or Mozza Daiya (I like to pile it on myself)

2 Slices of gf bread

Some vegan margarine

1-2 potatoes

olive oil

salt & pepper

garlic powder

Dried Parsley

Directions

Set your oven to 425. 

Nuke the potatoes until almost cooked. Allow them to cool for a few minutes, and then cut them into wedges. Toss with the oil, and place onto a lined cookie sheet. 

Shake the spices onto the potatoes. Bake for 20 minutes, turning once, until the outsides are crispy. 

Meanwhile, spread the margarine onto the outside of your bread. Cover one slice with guacamole, and cover that with as much  Daiya as you like. Top with the second slice of bread. 

Either grill (if you are competent, which I am not) Or panini it until the cheese is all nice and melty. 

Cut in half, and serve with the potatoes, and some ketchup, if that's your preference. 

Beach Food.... mmmm Guac!

While I am not a huge beachy person- I don't like sand all that much, I'm not big on the ocean, and I get overheated quickly- Beach food is something altogether dear to my heart. Specifically guacamole.

Guacamole is great, because you can whip it up in under 5 minutes, it's easy to make, and pretty near everyone likes eating it, so dealing with leftovers is practically a non-issue. It's also super healthy for you, with lots of vitamins, healthy fats, nutrients, etc.

In addition, eating guacamole counts as a serving of vegetables, and kids tend to like it (doesn't seem like healthy food!) so you can con fussy kids into eating vegetables while they think they're only eating junk. Genius!
