Our tomatoes from our garden have been coming for about 3 weeks now. Way earlier than normal, however, the large tomatoes are just starting. What else do you do when that happens? Well BLT’s of course! I wait all summer for that wonderful garden tomato taste. I refuse to eat hot-house tomatoes so I am ready to dig in when […]
This recipe is great way to use up any leftover ham. I used the leftover ham that I had frozen from Easter. I thawed it out and I used my Kitchen Aid grinding attachment and ground up 3 cups of ham in no time at all. I love my Kitchen Aid Mixer! Ingredients Combine all of the ingredients […]
Making a Lobster Roll can be as simple or complex as you want to make it. My husband and I went to Mystic Connecticut and there was a little roadside fast food carry out serving cooked seafood. You could eat at the picnic tables outside if you wanted to so we did. We both opted for the Lobster Roll […]
I made this Buffalo Chicken Sandwich for my lunch. We get gigantic chicken breasts from Sam’s Club so I thawed one out, cut it in half and pounded both halves to the same size. Pounding the chicken also makes the chicken very tender. This is a very hearty sandwich and if you added some homemade fries it would make for […]
I made this delicious Slow Cooker Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich for my husband! You don’t need an expensive cut of meat for this recipe, I used round steak. Cooking it in the slow cooker, in the delicious seasoned beef broth, makes it extremely tender and very tasty! Top it off with melted cheese and then dip the sandwich into the juice…..yummy! […]
Do you know where the name Sloppy Joe Sandwich came from? According to legend, back in the 1930’s, there was a cook named Joe at a café in Sioux City, Iowa. Joe added tomato sauce to his loose meat sandwich hence the name Sloppy Joe Sandwich. How do you like to eat your Sloppy Joe Sandwich, with bread or bun? […]
Another first for me, trying Soft Shell Chicken Tacos. Delicious taco flavored chicken along with all the flavors of the fillings stuffed into a tortilla! I was pleasantly surprised at how good they were! Kudos to my husband! Today the grandchildren were here all day. It was time to put the Christmas tree up and they help us every year. […]
Slow Cooker Shredded Beef cooks all day and falls apart for the most amazing Shredded Beef Sandwich. With all that wonderful gravy you can also put it over mashed potatoes or even eat it as an open face sandwich. Put it in small freezer containers and freeze some of it for use with future meals. Any way you fix it, […]
One of the reasons we drive to Amish country twice a year is so that my husband can get Troyer Genuine Trail Bologna. According to their website at http://www.troyerstrail.com, Troyer Genuine Trail Bologna was created by an Amish man named Troyer in 1912 in the town of Trail, Ohio. The Troyers are in their 4th generation of running this business. […]
These Ham and Cheese Hot Pockets were so much fun to make. I made them using puff pastry. I didn’t make the puff pastry myself, it was frozen. I have never worked with puff pastry before but I definitely will again. I was always afraid to try puff pastry because I heard it was so difficult, not true! I had […]
Yes my tomato is almost bigger than my sandwich! Even though this is called a Grilled Cheese Sandwich, mine should be called Grilled Tomato with Cheese Sandwich! This is another one of those “garden tomato only” sandwiches. I only eat these when the garden tomatoes are at their peak which happens to be right now. When I was a kid […]
Are you tired of your kids or grandchildren not eating their food? Then use your creativity and make a Butterfly Sandwich. I am not an artist by any means, but the kids don’t care. It’s that I took the time to make lunch special just for them that matters. I use to do this for my daughter many years ago. […]
For those of you that do not know what BLT stands for it is Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato. This sandwich is very popular where I live. August is that time of the year that our garden is at its peak. It is also the only time of the year that I eat BLT Sandwiches. Why…..because the only tomatoes that taste […]
I don’t know what the best part is of Chicken Salad on a Croissant, the chicken salad or the Croissant! Then add pineapple and it’s the perfect sandwich! I also like these with seedless green grapes. Such an easy yet elegant sandwich to make. Use leftover cooked chicken and it is even easier. Start with these four simple ingredients. Chop […]
I love green chili’s so I thought why not add them to Chicken Burritos. It was a great combination with the cheese and taco sauce too! I bought a cooked rotisserie chicken from Sam’s Club and made three different meals from one chicken. This was one of the meals I made with the rotisserie chicken. This easy recipe makes eight […]
Here is the quick and delicious lunch. Making a sandwich as a wrap instead of using bread is less calories than using two slices of bread and a nice change of taste. This wrap is for my husband. He wanted turkey, cheese, onion, tomato, lettuce, Miracle Whip and banana pepper. Lay your tortilla shell flat. Start to put on your […]
I’ve created a monster by purchasing my husband a grinder attachment for my Kitchen Aid mixer. He finds it very easy to use and loves the results! I have to admit, I do too. Today he wanted to make grilled chicken sandwiches for dinner so we put our heads together and came up with this recipe. We are very pleased […]
I can’t believe that until about a year ago, I went my entire life not trying Sriracha Sauce. Sriracha Sauce is a type of hot sauce or chili sauce made from a paste of chili peppers, distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt. I had never been crazy about wraps in the past. Once I added this delicious sauce it changed the […]
My favorite thing to make after Easter, with all those left over colored hard boiled eggs, is an Egg Salad Sandwich. I like that I can peel two eggs and have just enough for a sandwich. A lot of people like mustard, relish etc added to their Egg Salad, which is fine, but not me. I like it simple so […]
There is nothing better than getting a free meal! I made a Slow Cooker Herb Pot Roast (recipe in categories under roast beef) for supper and since there is only two of us at home, I had plenty of leftovers. All I did was shred the leftover cooked beef, removing bones and fat, and pour in the beef broth from the roast with all those […]
