Guacamole Goat Cheese Rolls

This week was the week of cheese and everything around me was about cheese! Seriously, while I’m driving home I would dream of the lunch meal which somehow should contain cheese. For a light snack it would be a small portion of white cheese. For breakfast, the cheese again will be there. My raw lifestyle was totally ruined last week, because of the cheese obsession.

I told myself, it is normal, maybe my body needs some calcium, or maybe because of the new medication I’m taking, blah .. blah .. blah. Which now, I could say that these were just excuses. I’m not feeling regret for what I have done. However, it is good to analyze your behavior and understand yourself as well.

The first time I tasted these goat cheese slices I couldn’t resist not finishing the whole packet all at once. The taste with some tomato and bell pepper was unbelievable. In fact, I love to eat this kind( cheese, tomato, bell pepper, cucumber, olives .. etc) of food specially for dinner. It is healthy, fulfilling, and you will feel light even if you have eaten the whole plate by yourself.

When I bought goat cheese slices again I decided to make an experiment of mine. make the cheese slices as rolls and fill them with guacamole. And garnished with dry mint on top.
