Roasted Beet, Herbed Cheese & Avocado Sandwich

By

My family and I traveled to Annapolis, Md., last month. While we were there, we discovered Eastport Kitchen, which was near our AirBNB rental in Eastport. My teens and I ordered the Daisy Sandwich, which has roasted beets, hardboiled egg, arugula, pickled onion, avocado, and an herbed cheese spread on toasted multigrain bread. We like the sandwich so much that we ordered it twice! Once we got home I decided to make my own version of it. I think I've come pretty close. We love this delicious sandwich!

Healthy Applesauce Banana Bread Recipe (Tasty Tuesday)

By

Welcome to Tasty Tuesday! On Tuesdays, I like to share recipes I love. I like fresh bananas, but I only like them just after they turned yellow from green. I even like them when there still is a little green on them. The minute bananas get a little ripe, they are not for me! That means I constantly have bananas I don't want to eat. They ripen so quickly! Luckily, one of my daughters LOVES banana bread. We have been using the same banana bread recipe for years. Just the other day, however, I accidentally found a way to make the banana bread even BETTER! I discovered a healthy and delicious Continue reading...
