Sun-Dried Tomato and Avocado Grilled Cheese

Posted on by admin

This sandwich has all the melted, cheesy flavor of grilled cheese—with added benefits. Whole-wheat bread provides filling fiber, avocado adds healthy monounsaturated fats and a punch of antioxidants, and sun-dried tomatoes bring a dose of lycopene. Extra-virgin olive oil replaces butter and incorporates heart-healthy fats into this lunchbox staple.

  1. Heat a pan over medium-low heat. Brush 1/2 teaspoon olive oil on one side of a bread slice and place in the pan oil side down.
  2. Top with cheese, avocado, tomatoes, and remaining slice of bread.
  3. Lightly brush top slice of bread with remaining 1/2 teaspoon oil. Cook for about 2 minutes or until bread turns golden brown and cheese begins to melt.
  4. Flip, and cook on the other side until bread is browned and cheese is completely melted.
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2 slices whole-wheat bread
  • 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 6 sun-dried tomatoes

Take Care: There’s More to Medical Ethics Than Absence of Harm

There’s a widely held belief that a doctor’s primary ethical obligation is to “do no harm.” The “no harm” principle, taught to all health care professionals, is important and meaningful, but it’s only part of a bigger ethical obligation we medical professionals have. That is, simply put, to take care of people. That duty of care is an important and useful guidepost in the increasingly complex world of medical ethics. Medical professionals have an ethical duty to relieve suffering, and to save and prolong lives. But today, as technological advances provide an almost unlimited ability to prolong lives, we also have an ethical duty to focus on the quality of life from the perspective of the person whose life it is. From that perspective, by listening

What Advice Would You Give Your Younger Self?

It’s a question I’ve posed to clients and seminar attendees in the past: what direction or wisdom would you share with your younger self if you could go back ten, twenty, thirty years (or more)? The idea obliges us to think about the whole of our journey thus far – how we’ve viewed health or success, how we’ve valued our well-being against other commitments, how we’ve weighed instinct against authority – among endless other inquiries. The fact is, life teaches us. I’m not talking just about the assemblage of data – more information gathered, more studies skimmed. I mean the self-knowledge acquired – sometimes through hard-won means – as well as the priorities that have come into focus over time. It’s often about the
