Everyday Food for Busy People
I’m not sure why I never thought of doing this before. It was so quick and simple. My boys were very happy and the rest of us liked the subs too. I used frozen meatballs and a jar of spaghetti sauce, so it just can’t get any easier. Perfect for a busy night. [Read more...]
I found this recipe in a Rachel Ray cookbook. She talks about eating these sandwiches in Paris. That sounds nice. I just ate mine in the kitchen.
I adapted her recipe a little bit. She says to use Gruyere cheese, but I couldn’t find any so I used Swiss. My kids called these “inside out sandwiches”, because the cheese is on the outside of the bread. When you grill them, it toasts to a flavorful crust. [Read more...]
Grilled cheese is a classic, a staple of lunches everywhere. I had never heard of putting tomato on them until we lived near Philadelphia. A diner there served them with tomato on their lunch menu. Yum! [Read more...]
This is so super-yummy! It cooks up in the slow cooker and freezes great. The recipe was shared on a forum I frequent – thanks, Janet!
Before I had surgery, I cooked up quite a few meals and stocked the freezer. I’ll be sharing those recipes over the next week or so. I’ll also be putting out a special menu for filling the freezer with some hints on getting the cooking done quickly. That menu will most likely be posted on February 15. [Read more...]
Another quick, hot sandwich that’s good on a winter night. Rick shared this recipe on a homeschool forum I’m part of. His wife, Linda makes them and Rick said they are good enough to be world famous. I think he’s right. The recipe makes a lot. It would be great for a crowd, but if you’re just feeding your family you might want to cut the recipe in half. I made a whole recipe and we ate left overs for a few days. That didn’t bother any of us though, because they were good. [Read more...]
Grilled chicken, mozzarella cheese, and creamy Italian-style dressing make these sandwiches delish. They were perfect paired up with Pasta Soup.
Here’s what you’ll need:
It’s What’s for Dinner Wednesdays. I was asked, along with a few other bloggers, to participate in a recipe challenge hosted by Beef. It’s What’s for Dinner. The recipe for this week is East Meets West Burgers. I altered the recipe just a bit, using tortillas instead of buns. I also took advantage of a jar of Hoisin Sauce to flavor the burgers, cutting down on the number of ingredients. [Read more...]
I have a sister named Gina. Gina has a friend named Desiree who has been bothered by the fact that I rarely mention my sister. So, in honor of Gina (and to put Desiree’s mind at ease) I’m featuring one of Gina’s excellent sandwiches today. But before I give you the low-down on how to make these, here’s a few things about Gina.
Now for the Club Sandwiches. They taste fantastic with hot melted cheese, bacon and seasoned, toasted buns. Here’s what you’ll need:
I felt like a kid again when I had this for lunch the other day. Something about the homemade white bread, the big glass of chocolate milk and the individual cup of applesauce. It made me remember carrying my Holly Hobby lunch box to school. The same lunch box I hit Denny Rice with. Denny was a trouble maker. He knocked the head off my snowman. Our second grade teacher, Mrs. Shaum actually washed his mouth out with soap one day. Can teachers still do that?
Simple, delicious summer in a sandwich. Who doesn’t love garden fresh tomatoes? We’ve got several tomato plants growing in our square foot garden. I’ve been a little disappointed because they haven’t produced as much as I wanted. I’m not sure if it’s the weather (it’s been a cool, rainy summer) or our gardening abilities or a vile combination of both. We have managed to get a few tomatoes off the vines and I turned one into a tomato sandwich for lunch.
