Grilled Edam Cheese and Honey Sandwich

I've been eating a ton of green vegetables lately that I wanted to taste something different, even if maybe they're not really healthy for me. Cheese, especially Cheddar and Cream Cheese are a no-no for people who have acid reflux disease or GERD. But I wanted cheese! So the next best thing is to have cheese with low fat and skim milk and that's Edam cheese. Here's how I did it:

Media Noche

Peter and I really did hibernate during the holidays. We didn't go out nor attend any parties at all... oh except for our village party which Peter went to coz he's sociable like that. Even then, Peter still prepared some dishes that can last until the next day. But, unlike the previous years, we didn't anymore do the 13 kinds of fruits coz I found out that shopping for them stresses Peter out. It's not something that he enjoys doing, plus we don't really believe completing the 13 kinds of fruits will bring us luck. The last couple of years, many of those fruits just got rotten coz we couldn't eat them all in a week's time. So, just the regular fruit groceries and none of those superstitious luck and wealth charms. No jumping up and down either. We had a quiet and peaceful New Year's Eve. We still believe though that we're gonna get richer & happier this year. That's what matters, right? ^_^

Anyway, here are the simple dishes Peter prepared last New Year's Eve:

pasta in olive, mushroom and tomato suace

Our Simple Noche Buena

We didn't visit our family or spent Christmas anywhere but home. It was just the two of us so we figured, there's really no need to prepare that much food. We only had four dishes plus a bottle of fruit wine. The food lasted for two days and we were both happy, which was what mattered the most. Anyway, we just want to share here the four simple dishes we had on Christmas Eve. We won't be sharing the recipes of our two favorites at this time (the pasta and the lamb chops) because they're very special and taste sooooo good that someday, we might be able to make a living out of it, who knows?!
