Grilled Cheese w/ Pumpkin

Leftover turkey soup and grilled cheese with pumpkin puree. The main reason I tried this recipe was because I had so much leftover pumpkin puree from the pies I made over the holiday. I used some with french toast in the morning and when I remembered we had the cookbook Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld, I decided to try this. It was easy and really not that bad. I do prefer a regular grilled cheese, but this was a good way to use up some pumpkin puree.

RECIPES:

Grilled Cheese with Pumpkin

1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Mix and spread on the bread and grill like normal. It calls for butter and salt in the mixture too, but I left it out.

Salmon Sandwiches w/ Quinoa Salad

Salmon sandwiches, quinoa with dried cherries, and pistachios, and a garden salad.  This quinoa salad was fantastic.  Nice texture and flavors. I wasn’t a big fan of quinoa before, but I’m liking it more and more.  I didn’t have dried cherries or pistachios, so I used dried cranberries instead.  The salmon sandwiches were good.  The red pepper in the sauce added a nice subtle kick, too.

Pulled Chicken Sliders

Barbecue pulled chicken sliders, homemade coleslaw, and a cobb salad.  These were awesome!  This was my first time making coleslaw.  I used too many carrots so it turned orange.  Other than that, this was a good one.
