The Honest Palate


An ethical and honest approach to food policy, fitness and nutrition.

GRILLED MOZZARELLA & APPLE SANDWICH (with caramelized onions!)
I’ll post a more interesting recipe about what I did with the majority of the apples now in my possession from yesterday’s trip upstate, but I STILL have a ton of apples left and I’m trying to figure out how to use them here and there.
Today I put them in a grilled cheese sandwich!  Some notes if you plan to make this:
I used mozzarella because it was what I had, but normally I’d go for some sharp cheddar.
Recently I learned that you should caramelize onions in butter, NOT oil.  This is because the proteins in butter assist the process and interact better with the onion’s carbohydrates. [Thanks, Saveur Mag!]
Crunchy, buttery, and savory.  I loved eating the extra apple slices on the side!

Welcome to my blog! I’m Michelle, a 26 year old vegetarian, runner, future doctor, and healthy-living enthusiast. My life revolves around food. Cooking food, eating food, discussing the politics of food. We’re surrounded by so many false advertisements and misconceptions about nutrition, its difficult to know where the truth lies. This is my attempt to make everything a bit clearer.

Follow me while I eat delicious food, cook healthy meals, run marathons, and strive to separate the food truths from lies, while living an exciting life in the Big Apple.
