This blog is meant for those of us who are trying to live a little longer and to help our kids live healthy lives too! Several of us have read a book entitled, "The China Study," which has strongly influenced the way we are trying to eat.

This site is specifically designed to help those of us who are trying to live a vegetarian/vegan type of lifestyle, but feel free to contribute any healthy recipes your family enjoys.

Please send me an e-mail at boren8@msn.com if you would like to be included as an author.

Avocado Melt Panini

4 sliced sourdough bread
8 sliced mozzarella
1 avocado, mashed
1 slice red onion ring, halved (I'm not a fan and I didn't use onion)
1 Roma tomato, sliced thin
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
Extra virgin olive oil

Layer each slice of bread with 2 slices of mozzarella.  Evenly distribute the mahed avocado, onion, tomato, and cilantro on two of the slices of bread. 

Close the sandwiches and lightly drizzle the outside with olive oil.  Grill on a panini press for 5 minutes or until mozzarella is completely melted.

*I don't have a panini press, so I just brushed each side of the bread with olive oil and grilled it in a pan on the stove (Grilled Cheese style).  It was really tasty.  Loved it coupled with the homemade tomato soup.
