Some quick ideas

 Veggie Sandwhiches
I've been making this for years. Toasted bread (anything you got) with a little mustard topped with sauted peppers, onions and broccoli, avocado, beets, and swiss cheese baked or broiled until melted. I make a blue cheese dressing to pour over it....yummy and healthy.


Tomatoes stuffed with North Sea grey shrimp. 
This is William's recipe and it's always served with french fries, imagine. He uses a tiny little bit of mayo, diced shallot, a dash of ketchup and salt and pepper...and those little tiny shrimp.


Eggplant towers
I had to use up some eggplant and made these one evening. I grilled the eggplant first and then made a tower  layering eggplant, tomatoes and cheese...and baked it in the oven.


Fresh tortellini salad
For a hot summer night...cheese tortellini with tomatoes, 
olives, roasted peppers, chunks of gouda cheese and cellery ...it's what I had on hand!
Topped off with a light vinaigrette...served cold...the tortellini cools off fast, toss with a little oil first.


A cold plate
Smoked salmon, blue cheese, smoked haddock, olives, fresh melon - whatever you like.



I learned this recipe from Anja and Jeroen - they always called it flipper.
Belgian endive parboiled and dryed off, wraped in ham and covered with a homemade cheese sauce. I use my mother's reciep for the sauce....3 tlbs of butter, 3 tbls of flour...melt and stir for 3 minutes....add a cup of milk you've warmed up in the microwave and keep stiring till it gets thick....add some cheese that melts well.
The whole thing gets baked in the oven for about 30 minutes until golden and bubbly.
