Grilled Chicken Panini with Zucchini, Tomato, and Mozzarella

This delicious Grilled Chicken Panini with Zucchini, Tomato, and Mozzarella highlights end-of-summer vegetables on sour dough bread.

Chicken Panini with Zucchini, Tomato Mozzarella

There’s something about a hot sandwich that just feels more satisfying sometimes especially when you add protein like I did in this Grilled Chicken Panini. With the grilled chicken, this sandwich has 26 grams of protein! I usually use sour dough bread because it contains higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants than many other breads. I served this for dinner with some tomato soup, which was so delicious. Some other panini recipes you might want to try are this Eggplant Panini with Pesto, Asparagus Prosciutto Panini with Garlic Mayo, and Chicken Arugula Provolone Panini with Chipotle.

Air Fryer Sweet Plantains (Maduros)

Air Fryer Sweet Plantains or Maduros are an easy and healthy way to make this classic Latin side dish.

Air Fryer Sweet Plantains

I grew up eating plantains every way you can imagine! Depending on the ripeness of the plantain, you’ll get different results. Mom makes them on the grill or fries them but I love making them in the air fryer! For sweet maduros, the best plantains are the ones that have black skins and tender flesh. The darker the skin, the sweeter they are, which is exactly what you want. Make these Air Fryer Maduros along with my Picadillo, Carne Bistec, or any Latin dish you like. And if you’d like to try more plantain recipes, check out my Air Fryer Tostones, Turkey Picadillo Stuffed Sweet Plantains, and Turkey Pastelón (Sweet Plantain Lasagna).

Three-Cheese Zucchini Quiche

This delicious Three-Cheese Zucchini Quiche, made lighter without heavy cream, is perfect for end-of-summer zucchini for breakfast,  brunch or lunch.

Zucchini Quiche

Trying to adapt quiche to make it healthier is challenging because you can’t skimp on the pie crust (which is the best part, in my humble opinion. Aside from the buttery crust, quiche is also typically made with a good amount of heavy cream and cheese. I tested this Three-Cheese Zucchini Quiche a couple of times, and I think you’ll love how it turned out! I have many more healthy quiche recipes on my blog. Some others you might like with crust are my Spinach Ricotta Quiche, Chicken Quiche, or for crustless quiche recipes try Crustless Ham and Cheese Quiche or Broccoli Cheddar Quiche.

Creamy Corn Soup with Queso Fresco

This creamy corn soup is sweet and savory made with fresh sweet summer corn, thickened with a potato and topped with salty queso fresco or cotija cheese.

Creamy Corn Soup with Queso Fresco

I love this soup, and this is the perfect time of year to make it with summer corn at it’s sweetest! The temperatures we were having last week were in the high nineties and soup was the last thing on my mind. But finally we are back in the eighties, and a bowl of soup is always comforting to me.
