All wrapped up

I hate to admit it as much as the next person, but fall is officially in our presence. Not only does this signal a switch in wardrobe, but also a change in my eating patterns. As the cold weather sets in , I find myself gravitating to the cheesey-carby- comfort foods.

Here's one great recipe that I found in the November issue of Glamour that is a healthy alternative to the standard grilled cheese sandwich

Veggie and Melted Cheese Wrap

- 1 tbsp. of olive oil

- 1/4 cup of chopped zucchini

- 1/4 cup of cherry tomatoes

- 2 slices of monterey jack cheese (I substituted mozzarella)

-1 One large flour tortilla (I substituted a whole-wheat pita)

- 1/2 cup of baby spinach

Directions

1. In a saute pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat

2. add zucchini and tomatoes , saute for about 3-4 minutes until soft and golden brown around edges

3. remove from heat, place veggies inside wrap with cheese

4. wrap up tortilla (or pita, in my case) and place in pan, 2 minutes per side, until golden brown and cheese has melted

This dinner was SO satisfying and only took about five ingredients, definitely a success and something I'll repeat. I'm thinking next time I'll add some grilled chicken as well.
