Single-Serving Vegan: Avocado-Spinach Panini

Ingredients:
1/2 avocado, diced
anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 cup spinach
1/2 tomato, sliced
2 slices of ciabatta bread, or a sliced ciabatta roll
1 clove of garlic, minced (optional)
olive oil

Directions:
Spray/brush bread with olive oil; layer avocado, tomato, spinach, and garlic on bread; if desired, spray with olive oil again. Heat olive oil in a skillet on medium heat; put sandwich in, weighing it down by placing another pan on top, either weighted with cans or applying pressure yourself (we used a cast iron skillet; those things are pretty heavy). Cook for 1-2 minutes. Flip; cook for another 1-2 minutes on low to no heat. Serve.

I'll tell you - this is darn good for a vegan sandwich.

Single-Serving Vegan: Crisped Potatoes

Ingredients:
2-3 small/medium potatoes
olive oil
salt
pepper

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Scrub or peel potatoes. Slice into less than 1/8 inch thick slivers or utilize mandolin slicer. Arrange slices on a baking sheet, lined with parchment paper. Spray with olive oil. [If you don't have an olive oil sprayer, put potato slices in a colander/strainer, toss with olive oil, then arrange on parchment-paper-lined baking sheet.] Season with salt and pepper. Put in oven for 25-30 minutes. To crisp them better, remove potatoes on the edges that have already browned and rearrange slices while cooking until they are crisp enough to your liking.
