So far, so good.
I made it to Mt. Hood.
The weather is awesome.
There is food in the fridge and cupboards.
The internet is working.
Time goes way too fast. Especially when I am crazy busy (okay, this part is not so awesome).
The weather is awesome!
Plus, the summer produce here is insane this year.
Incredible. I bought berries, melons, peach, nectarines, mangos, corn, zucchini, basically everything, and it all looks so good. And it was CHEAP.
SCORE!
So I know I have only been here less than twenty-four hours, but as of right now I am pretty happy with my decision to spend most of my summer in Mt. Hood with my family.
Now, if the weather drastically changes I could be singing a different tune.
But right now it is awesome and beautiful and I feel pretty darn grateful that I get to see such a cool place. If only you guys could truly see the view I am looking at right now. It is pretty amazing to be looking at a glacier so up close and personal. Right now the sun is hitting Mt. Hood and creating a picture perfect view. Honestly not one thing could make it better. The sky is blue, the trees are green and the mountain is white.
Plus, it is HOT and I love it so much.
I went to the grocery store twice yesterday, checked out a total of three times and made four trips up the elevator with carts completely FULL of food.
Basically renting a place for a couple of months is like starting over completely – kitchen wise. All the pantry essentials need to be bought along with the freezer essentials and the fresh produce, fresh dairy and yada, yada, yada. I am not even sure how long I am staying, most likely till the end of July, but I plan on doing a whole lot of cooking. Surprise, surprise.
Someone’s got to keep this food blog running.
Today feels like one of those days that my brain just wants to keep rattling on and on. I have so much on my mind, plus a whole weeks worth of vacation dramas to share with you guys. But since I am still scrambling to get everything put away and take two food photos today I am going to save my thoughts.
Trust me, I won’t forget them.
Or maybe I will, that happens. I swear my brain feels too small.
I am requesting more brain space in my next life.
This grilled cheese is actually kind of embarrassing.
One, it is embarrassing because it is honestly so simple and I am basically showing you how to mash some avocados with blue cheese and toast them up together.
Two, because it requires only seven ingredients.
It is also embarrassing how excited I have been to show you guys this.
Seriously, I wanted to post this the second I finished photographing it. It is so good.
Probably one of my favorites.
Blue cheese and avocado and roasted tomatoes!
Actually this is an adaptation of a sandwich I have been making since the first summer I spent in Mt. Hood three summers ago.
Yup, the avocado sandwich obsession started in Hood. Crazy huh? Back then it was mashed avocado, blue cheese and turkey and maybe some mustard for my dad, but honestly mustard on sandwiches is not really my thing. I think I made this sandwich for my mom everyday that summer. This grilled cheese is just a jazzed up version. The roasted tomatoes are the most amazing addition.
Trust me, this grilled cheese tastes over-the-top without the over-the-top effort.
Simple and easy, everyone loves that!

This was excellent! Can’t wait to pass this one on to my friends. Thank you!
Thank you so much Cheryl! xTieghan
I’M AM DROOLING OVER THIS RECIPE. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHAT BREAD YOU USE?
Hi there! I like to use either a seeded whole grain load or sourdough. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I hope you love this recipe! Thank you! xTieghan
Can I substitute spinach for the arugula in it?
Hi Laura! Yes, that will be great!
Made these for dinner tonight, FABULOUS!!!
Wow, this looks so good! My 8th ingredient would be bacon, lol. Bacon and Castello Blue is my favorite combo! And that bread does look really good too 🙂
Thank you so much, Lauren!! Bacon sounds like and awesome addition!
I absolutely love this! I’m going to try it today! I featured it on my latest post New Ways to Eat Avocado | 10 Savory and Healthy Avocado Recipes. My readers loved it too!
Thank you so much!!
Mmmm…. this looks SOOOO good. I’ve never thought of this combination, and I don’t know why because this grilled cheese includes most of my favorite things. I wish I knew how to pin it. I’m such a dork that I only know how to pin things on pinterest and not from other websites. I’m going to pinterest right now to look for this. 🙂
Haha! I have a pin it button at the end of this post. Just click and pin.
Thanks so much Stella!
Mmm, these look so great! Really want to eat them right now!!
Thank you, Rosie!
More brain space — great idea!!! Only I could use it now and not have to wait till the next life. DH will inhale the blue cheese avacado combination — grilled and tomato are bonus! Awesome photos (as always!). thanks so much for sharing on Busy Monday!
Thank you so much, charlene!
