About Eat Like Me
Hi everyone! Welcome to the Eat Like Me blog! I'm Emma- a Nutrition major & kind of a health nut! I'm really into eating healthy & nourishing my body. It amazes me how much food can really affect your life and change the way you feel. I've been into healthy eating since I was a teen and I wanted to share my interest with all of you! I'll admit that I have days when I do not make the best food choices but my goal is to just get back on track and stay healthy as often as I can. Of course, eating healthy doesn't mean I don't get to enjoy my food. There are lots of flavorful, healthy foods & recipes, and even desserts! On this blog I will share with you what I eat, along with recipes & pictures. You could use my blog as a guide to healthy eating, or just for recipes and ideas!
Dinner tonight was a grilled eggplant, tomato and mozzarella panini. I used tomato and eggplant fresh from my garden, along with shredded mozzarella cheese, on the whole wheat Italian bread that I mentioned the other day. The sandwich would've been better had I used fresh mozzarella, but being that I didn't have any I used reduced-fat shredded. Regardless, it still came out good & was a great way to use my new mini indoor grill! I made my panini by first peeling the eggplant, and cutting it into slices about 1/2" thick. Then I grilled the eggplant slices until they were soft and lightly brown. Next I assembled the sandwich with the grilled eggplant slices, fresh sliced tomato, and mozzarella. I greased the grill with olive oil cooking spray, and then put my sandwich on the grill. I closed the top of the grill and applied pressure to cook. It took about 5 minutes to heat through, and the result was a hot, toasted, grilled panini with melted cheese and soft, warm tomato & eggplant. Yum!
Emma, thanks for visiting my blog:) I love your blog so I just added myself as a follower! Your Panini looks delicious. I have a panini grill, and this has motivated me to bring it out of hiding and make this.
