Stewed Apricots and Fennel with Ricotta, Pistachios, and Black Pepper

Long title, huh? We chose this sandwich as our final installment for Sandwich Week. This sweet and fruity sandwich was listed in the breakfast sandwich section, but Colicchio thinks it would be “great for breakfast, brunch, a light lunch, and afternoon snack, even a dessert.” Of all those meals, I think the sandwich in its [...]

Tuna and Roasted Tomato Melt

Part 4 in the Sandwich Week series was the Tuna and Roasted Tomato Melt. English muffins, some oven roasted tomatoes, tuna salad and a slice of Gruyere cheese. Sounded like it could be good, so I was willing to give it a shot.
Did anyone else make those little English muffin pizzas when they were younger? [...]

CSA Week 5 and a Sandwich

Our CSA is really starting to beef up! We might even get eggplants and peppers next week! Here’s this week’s haul:

Lots of Lettuce
Kale
Chives
Parsley
Apple Mint
Peas
Garlic Scapes
Turnips
Jalapenos

We picked up our share an hour and half ago, and we’ve already made use of the turnips, some chives, and some of the garlic scapes. Our dinner tonight [...]

It’s All About the Marmalade

Time for the second installment of Sandwich Week! Tonight’s selection was Roasted Turkey with Avocado, Bacon, Balsamic Onion Marmalade and Mayonnaise. This pick was Brent’s, and definitely proved that Colicchio does not take sandwich-making lightly. Though not one of the more super complicated recipes in the book, this one still required multiple time-consuming steps. We [...]

Sandwich Week

Last week while we were at the library, Brent picked up ‘Wichcraft by Tom Colicchio. I’m in love with this book. Tom must have gotten a huge budget for publishing his book because every recipe has an accompanying full color drool-worthy photograph. Feeling so inspired, I decided this week would be “Sandwich Week” in our [...]

Open-Faced BBQ Tempeh Sandwich with Carrot-Cayenne Coleslaw

Last night’s dinner was another one from Vegan Soul Kitchen. Bryant Terry had this recipe listed as one of his 6 favorites in the beginning of the book, so I was eager to try it. I’ve never eaten tempeh before, let alone cooked with it, so it was another interesting experiment. I had high expectations [...]

Burrito Sandwich

Sometime last week Brent sent me an email that said
these interest me: http://www.delish.com/recipefinder/tijuana-torta-recipe-9868
Normally it’s like pulling teeth to get Brent to help plan the menu, so I’m not one to complain when he offers up an idea unprompted. I didn’t follow the recipe exactly, but I got the basic gist of it. Let’s [...]

Almost Friday

Happy Thursday everyone! The week’s coming to a close, which I’m excited about because I’ve got a hot date tomorrow night. Brent asked me if I wanted to go out for dinner, which I nearly thought was an April Fool’s joke! He never really suggests stuff, especially stuff that costs money.   We’re going [...]

Smoked Salmon Sandwiches

I loved this dinner. Like really loved it. Kind of weird considering it’s just a sandwich, but it was great. Last week while I was nibbling on some of the smoked salmon leftover from the Twice Baked Potatoes, I was really loving on the smoky flavor of it and then genius struck… Bacon is smoked. [...]

Quick and Delicious

Oh man, class dragged tonight. I guess I was just too exhausted to really get interested. However, my dinner beforehand was great! My favorite thing about this dinner was how quick it was (except for the 2 hours it took to make the bread, but that’s just me). While I was making the list for [...]
