My menu and a vegetarian recipe

My sweet 17 year old daughter has been suffering with some medical issues and we have been directed by our doc to limit her meat intake and increase her veggies and fruits. Sound familiar?? Yeah. Something tells me we are destine to head in this direction as a family. In my quest for great vegetarian recipes I found a super recipe on pinterest that actually came from Eating Well.com. We had it tonight for dinner and love love loved it! Check out the link and give it a shot!

Tijuana Torta

(picture above belongs to eatingwell.com

PS we used nice chibatta rolls instead of the baguettes due to availability

Also you should know that we are still avoiding gluten for the most part but not 100%. It is VERY difficult but we are still working with it the best we can and still believe it is the best choice for our family and especially for the lady of the house. When you see gluten on the menu know that I am most likely eating a sub instead of the wheat product
