Garden fresh grilled cheese
Did you guys know April is National Grilled Cheese Month? I have been taking full advantage, while still trying to keep things relatively healthy.
Relative to what, I don't know. I'm pretty sure italicizing it blurs that line even more.
What I do know for sure?
This is one of my new favorite sandwiches.
I have had three this week, and am confidently declaring this Garden Fresh Grilled Cheese as healthy. Stacked high with fresh crisp vegetables and hugged by a fantastic sunflower seed bread.
This tastes amazing, and does not leave you in a torpor and feeling over full.
Each sandwich has one half an avocado, one half of a red bell pepper, and one large Roma tomato.
Toasting the bread gives it that crunch I like, as does the iceberg.
This is a fresh and flavorful alternative to the sometimes heavy grilled cheese - crisp and cool while also warm and comforting. A perfect pairing in my opinion.
Please, make one of these this weekend.

In my (non) expert oppinion, the veggies and avocado totally cancel out any calories and saturated fat in the cheese. 🙂 This looks tremendous!
