This sandwich is definitely not low fat— lots of avocado and gooey cheese— but not flavor. We slathered a layer of guacamole, a slice of Havarti cheese (we did use lite, so it was a tad healthier), and a few slices of tomato on deliciously baked sourdough bread. Then we grilled the sandwich up on the stove until the bread was nice and crispy...

Baked pastas are the best kinds of dishes to serve when you have company. You can prepare the dish before the guests arrive, then just pop it in the oven when they arrive.

One of the things we already miss most about Texas is good Mexican food (e.g. Lupe Tortilla, El Mirador, Pappasitos, etc.) We seriously haven’t even found mediocre Mexican unless you count Chipotle or other similar burrito joints, which are good but no substitute for some good old fashioned Tex-Mex. For this reason we try to make Mexican food...
