Feed The Resistance: World Dairy Expo!

The World Dairy Expo has been happening all week long at the Alliant Energy Center!  It was suggested that in honor of that, I should do something with Dairy – maybe Cheese…and in particular – a Grilled Cheese Sandwich!  As I mentioned last week, I’ve been on a bit of a vegetarian kick lately – not exclusively, but about 90% of my meals are vegetarian these days.  So, I pulled out a vegetarian cookbook called “Vegetarian Planet” and made the Green Apple and Brie Sandwich with Quick Onion Chutney.  The recipe itself is super-simple.  The most complex thing is the chutney, which came together very quickly – it’s just caramelizing some onions and then adding a little brown sugar and some balsamic vinegar.  After that chutney cools off, you just spread a little on the bread, top that with apple slices and then the cheese – and grill the sandwich.

Dee brought in a Hazy IPA from 3 Sheeps called Chaos Pattern.  It’s a great Hazy that made the flavors of the cheese and the chutney really sparkle!

We also learned a bit more about a nice side-project that Dee has, called Magnawave Therapy, which stimulates cells, helps to resolve cellular dysfunction, acute & chronic pain, reduce inflammation, ease depression and anxiety symptoms and support overall wellbeing.  She does Magnawave on both humans and animals – and spent some time at the World Dairy Expo working on some of the cows…
