Ham and cheese panini

This is for a day when I am rotating and eating allergens!  White bread, ham, cheese, butter- flattened under a pot while grilling on the skillet.  I only buttered one side of my sandwich since the butter was enough on the skillet for when I turned it.  Top with spicy ranch dressing.  The dressing really makes it better than a regular old grilled cheese.  Jed would rather just have grilled cheese-

no pressing flat- but he loved the spicy ranch too.

Food for thought

Grinding my grain to make my bread!  Takes about 15 minutes for a pound of barley. 

Good work out for our arms- the kids like to help.

Breakfast!  Oat or barley crepe with blueberries.

Lunch- crepe with mayo, cucumbers- sprinkled with sea salt and dill.

Dinner- Chicken curry in a hurry- from Rachel Ray.  Topped with baby corn, bamboo shoots, and water chestnuts.  My favorite topping was the roasted hazel nuts(didn't have almonds on hand).  So yummy!  I like to cook when I have time and energy.   That is the problem!  Not always time and energy.  That is why I end up eating corn dogs now and then.  I did spend some time cooking and freezing food a few weeks ago.  I have cilantro pesto, hummus, verde sauce, and lentils in the freezer.  I need more variety on hand I suppose.
