My name is Nicole, I'm 19, 5'2 and I love health and fitness, it's a key element to my life. I have a true dedication to lead a healthy lifestyle, after being unhealthy and very overweight for 11 years. My blog is just one of the few things I do to keep me motivated. Tumblr has been a great place for me to find out new diet plans, work outs and to connect with others going through this with me. Image and video hosting by TinyPic
thehonestpalate: GRILLED MOZZARELLA & APPLE SANDWICH (with caramelized onions!) I’ll post a more interesting recipe about what I did with the majority of the apples now in my possession from yesterday’s trip upstate, but I STILL have a ton of apples left and I’m trying to figure out how to use them here and there. Today I put them in a grilled cheese sandwich!  Some notes if you plan to make this: I used mozzarella because it was what I had, but normally I’d go for some sharp cheddar. Recently I learned that you should caramelize onions in butter, NOT oil.  This is because the proteins in butter assist the process and interact better with the onion’s carbohydrates. [Thanks, Saveur Mag!] Crunchy, buttery, and savory.  I loved eating the extra apple slices on the side!

I’ll post a more interesting recipe about what I did with the majority of the apples now in my possession from yesterday’s trip upstate, but I STILL have a ton of apples left and I’m trying to figure out how to use them here and there.

  • I used mozzarella because it was what I had, but normally I’d go for some sharp cheddar.
