Arepas con Pollo y Avocado

Sometimes it happens that you just have all the ingredients on hand and presto meal magic! I love it when there is no shopping required. Such was the case with arepas con pollo y avocado. The Venezuelan dish was fast and flavorful. A small cornbread cake sliced in half and filled with a mixture of green onions, cilantro, avocado, chicken, lemon juice and chili powder. It was supposed to be lime juice, but the lemon was what we had on hand. This makes me want to try more food from South America in the future.

Sandwich Week! Day 5

This sandwich I actually tried both hot and cold. Pictured is the grilled fresh mozzarella, tomato and basil on ciabatta bread. Grilling the sandwich gave the cheese a nice gooey quality, but having it cold made all the ingredients taste that much fresher. I'm torn on which one I like the best.
