Man o’ man! I am stuck in another food rut, and love it so much I had to stop in and share. For all my working ladies or gals that have extremely busy schedules, I think you might enjoy my current dinner combo. It’s simple, real, wholesome, and inexpensive for those adhering to a food budget like moi 🙂 #reallifestartedlastweek 
Brinner sandwich:
2 slices sprouted grain bread
2 whole cage free eggs
1 serving fat-free mozzarella
2 tbsp spicy salsa
Black pepper
Optional: Cholua, Siracha, or hot sauce
Coconut oil spray
Sandwich press, George Foreman, or skillet
Brinner sides:
1/2 cup roasted brussels
1 cup roasted cauliflower
1/2 cup roasted onion rings
1/2 cup roasted brocoli
Directions:
1. In a skillet, cook 2 eggs over easy (almost medium) dash pepper and flip so the yolk can’t break
2. Add cheese, eggs, cheese, press sandwich together, spray skillet, and cook like a “grilled cheese”
3. Egg yolk might break anyways, allow the yolk to cook until hard
4. Roast veggies on the side @ 350 degrees for 30 minutes, spray coconut oil and a dash of S&P
~Enough salsa and Cholula to cover a small country added post pic~
That’s it, easy peasy! Now that I have a longer commute, reduced food budget, and shorter evenings I am all about keeping it simple & quick without sacrificing taste, HEALTH, and texture change. Because ya’ll know how much I love my crunch to chewy ratio. And who doesn’t love egg and cheese sandwiches (or in this case, Panini)?
Tip: Swap out the Cholua and salsa for a fruit jam if you want a sweet & savory combo. Brie cheese would be a fabulous addition to that. 
Do you guys like quick post like this?

That looks delicious! I had brinner last night but it was much less exciting! And I’m definitely about the quick dinners-I don’t often get back until late and I don’t want to wait around!
I am all about quick dinners lately, STAT. I like to make more “leisurely” meals on the weekend if I have time. But now that I’ve moved, have a tighter budget, and less time – it’s all about convenience. I guess it makes me appreciate those moments when I can go all out and sit down for a long dinner. Otherwise, pass me the eggs and Cholula! Or Sirachia 😉
Miss chatting with you girlie.

Yes oh yes, a prime meal I think! I certainly haven’t gotten the hang of actually making or prepping gourmet dinners for the week. Eggs seem to be my best friends when I’m rushing home post work/working out and don’t have much patience 🙂
Girl – my life is all about eggs for dinner (with salsa or Cholula). I can’t beat only $1.79 for a week worth of eggs for dinner. Living on my own deff makes me put my food into perspective. Sometimes less is more 😉 Plus they are damn good. Problem solved, wallet happy, check and check!
Aye carumba that looks tasty! Egg sandwiches are one of my favorite breakfasts (and brinners!). But mostly I’m just having an affair with those roasted veggies. Come…to…mama!!
I am so in love with grinner lately! You can’t beat cheap dinners that are delicious and quick! I want to master egg soufflés or start making fritatas that I can just top with cheese and reheat during the weeknights…TBC! haha 🙂
Roasted veggies have my heart. Forever. That is all.
This looks absolutely delicious!!
Girl, eggs are my daily routine for dinner now. Inexpensive, fast, versatile, and a superfood powerhouse. I can’t wait to get kale next weekend to have on the side like you did the other night – *Drooling*
I LOVE Kale. I make mine by putting it in the oven (after drizzling it with some olive oil). I let it cook for about 8 mins in a 400 degree oven and VOILA! – the kale comes out crunchy and yummy. I add pepper sometimes to it before or after I put it in the oven.
Work nights are all about easy dinners and it doesn’t get much better than Panini sandwiches. One of my favorite combos is aged cheddar with apple slices and balsamic vinegar.
I have thought about this glorious aged cheddar, apple, and balsamic vinegar combo about 4 times today…next time I go grocery shopping I am making this happen. I might get naughty and splurge on some brie cheese in place of cheddar. Only you would think of a combo so tasty, bravo my friend. I knew I loved ya for a reason.
