This is not your traditional grilled cheese sandwich. This recipe was made in my panini with 3 kinds of cheese, pickled red onion slices, chives and chili crisp between 2 slices of sourdough bread. A favorite for sure any time of the year when I want something special and not just 2 American slices between … Continue reading
If I ever pick up a sandwich at a local deli/grocery store I often look for a turkey sandwich. I especially liked this version with coleslaw (I added pure horseradish) and Russian dressing – no lettuce or tomato. Serve with pickles, coleslaw and/or chips and you have a nice lunch or a light dinner. This … Continue reading
Grilled cheese is a favorite sandwich, which as Americans know it, originated during the 1920’s, and is often thought of as comfort food in American cuisine. With cheese and bread readily available it is a staple in many American households, mine included. Of course this sandwich can be “kicked up” with condiments such as bacon, … Continue reading
For longer than I can remember I have enjoyed Tuna melts (search tuna for recipes) and never thought of using salmon instead. Big mistake as these really hit the spot and actually one of the tastiest salmon recipes I have made. If you are looking for a new way to use this superfood give this … Continue reading
I’ve been making my Mom’s version of Sloppy Joes for a very long time and often kicked it up with some onions (occasionally peppers), added Guy Fieri’s onion straws and reduced some of the salt and sugar. Gochujang is a favorite condiment and provides the heat in these Sloppy Joes. There are different versions of … Continue reading
This is a component of a Mexican recipe that Yotam Ottolenghi developed with one of his test kitchen chefs, Ixta Belfrage. I have never tasted such well balanced, flavorful pickled red onions. They are perfect for Mexican or Tex-Mex recipes with the addition of shaved lime peel and hibiscus flowers. Hibiscus flowers are a popular … Continue reading
What? A hot dog in puff pastry? This is another American phenomenon that I grew up with despite the fact sausages (some say) dated back to pre-Columbus days. We seem to give credit for its appearance in America to a Coney Island vendor named Charles Feldman. I mean you can’t go to any sports event, … Continue reading
I enjoy a black bean burger and haven’t been totally happy with the recipes I’ve made. I’ve posted two other recipes; one by Eating Well and the other by America’s Test Kitchen. They are both good and different but not quite what I was looking for in a black bean burger. There are a lot … Continue reading
This recipe appeared in an email from joythebaker.com and it made my taste buds water. Caramelized onions almost to the point of onion jam, good cheese such as gruyere and I used some fresh Calabrese bread. What a great lunch – would have been nice to have a small cup of homemade tomato soup or … Continue reading
This combination of soup and sandwich makes for a very healthy lunch or dinner. I don’t think I have ever used the word “healthy” in any of my 1100+ posts except for when I mention it in a Weight Watcher’s recipe. So, here it goes – a soup loaded with veggies and a sandwich with … Continue reading
