Lightening Up My Favorite Sandwich: Spicy Pastrami, Bacon, Swiss Wrap

Posted on January 14, 2010 - Filed Under Healthy Eating, Recipes, lunch, sandwich | 3 Comments

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

Posted on November 11, 2009 - Filed Under Easy Recipes, sandwich | 2 Comments

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 that [...]

Regional Bites: Roast Beef Sandwiches of Greater Boston

Posted on October 22, 2009 - Filed Under Restaurants, eating out, sandwich | 3 Comments

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 of [...]

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 [...]

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 can [...]

Prosciutto, Mozzarella and Sweet Onion Panini

Posted on November 13, 2007 - Filed Under sandwich | 1 Comment

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 [...]

Nutella and Bananas

A lot can be said about the power of suggestion. It’s amazing how an iota of innuendo can lead to big things. And it’s amazing how, for a pregnant woman, the power of suggestion can lead to an necessary but delicious dessert.
Last night, I was innocently sitting here in my home office working when a [...]

RECIPE: French Dip Panini

So yesterday was the first time I ever tried a Rachael Ray recipe. I know, she’s been huge for several years now, but I managed to remain under the radar … or something. Anyway, this French Dip Panini was amazing. I made a few changes: I added salt and pepper to the sauce, caught [...]

French Dip Panini and Caprese Salad

Posted on May 15, 2007 - Filed Under Beef, salad, sandwich | 6 Comments

Dinner tonight was a pretty quick combination of recipes. First, I threw together Rachael Ray’s French Dip Panini (with a few minor modifications). Then I whipped up a two-minute caprese salad (which coincidentally is a perfect inclusion for Sweetnicks’ ARF/5-A-Day Tuesday).
Honestly, I dare say this is the first Rachael Ray recipe I have ever made. [...]
