Cooking with Kids: Greek Chicken Salad Sandwiches Recipe
Today is Will’s last day of preschool. Ever. I can hardly believe it. You always hear people say that children grow up so quickly, but only in experiencing it can you appreciate just how true that is. It seems like just yesterday that I was uncomfortably pregnant with him and now he’s almost 5. Time [...]
Ramps, and a Delicious Ramp Pesto
Meet ramps … In the bowl pictured above are some chopped ramps, a wild onion that grows in the Eastern part of the United States and Canada. Also known as a wild leek, it has a bold flavor with notes of onion and garlic. And until this past weekend, I had never had one, despite [...]
Spicy Pastrami, Bacon, Swiss Wrap
A local deli makes this massive, delightful sandwich called Amanda’s Big Mouth. It’s pastrami, cheddar, bacon, onions, lettuce, tomato, hot sauce and thousand island dressing (I skip the dressing)—and it’s amazing. It’s the kind of sandwich you eat when you are starving … or when you just want something amazing when you are enjoying a [...]
Turkey, Fontina and Pancetta Pita Sandwich Recipe
On busy workdays, I am a huge fan of quick and easy dinners. A sandwich like this totally fits the bill. Sure, you have to cook the turkey and pancetta, but it only takes minutes and then you are seated and eating. It doesn’t get much better in terms of time. Now, honestly, Shawn isn’t [...]
Regional Bites: Roast Beef Sandwiches of Greater Boston
Some foods are ubiquitous to areas. Philadelphia has its cheesesteaks. The south has its BBQ. New York has its cheesecake. Boston has its baked beans. But for every well-known regional food, there are dozens of lesser known ones that are just as wonderful — if not more so. When it comes to greater Boston, one [...]
Sloppy Joes Recipe
Some days, I just don’t know what to make for dinner. Don’t you have days like that? You know, where it’s all just too much and urge to order takeout becomes too hard to fend off. And sometimes, you bend under the pressure and just order something. But, I have found that when I am [...]
Blue Cheese Stuffed Burgers
It was a steamy, hot day today. It was one of those days where you just don’t know what to do with yourself. The kids and I ran errands, took a walk (what was I thinking?!?) and ran through the sprinkler. Because I wanted to. Finally, we gave in and collapsed onto the couch with [...]
French Toasted Apple Grilled Cheese
When I flipped this sandwich out of the frying pan and onto Will’s plate, I instantly smiled. Do you see it? The simple, unmistakable shape was clear as day. Instead of shooting a photo of the most perfect sandwich in the batch, I went with the one with the perfect little unexpected heart. Here, you [...]
Mouthwatering Chicken Burgers
Doesn’t that look good? It makes my mouth water to think about it, let alone see it. This delicious, juicy chicken burger is ranking tops on my short list of craveworthy foods. Yum. It all started earlier this year. Shawn picked up the cleverly named Hamburger Seasoning (really, they went out on a limb for [...]
Prosciutto, Mozzarella and Sweet Onion Panini
What’s the best thing about this sandwich? It tickles the taste buds. You have contrasting sweet, salty and smooth flavors that complement each other and a good hearty crunch of a panini. It’s everything I could ever ask for in a sandwich. In fact, I ate one and a half of these bad boys for [...]
