Sandwich Surprise: The Florida Edition! Blue Chip-Crusted Chicken Cutlets on Bacon Bits Bread

posted by

This week’s Sunshine State sammy: Why the road trip? While I was on a beach/golf vacation in Ft. Lauderdale last week, I just couldn’t pass up the chance to take a Florida’s Turnpike road trip to my friend Michelle and her family’s home near Orlando. I worked with cover-writer-extraordinaire Michelle when I was an editor […]

Duck Fat-Roasted Cauliflower Steak and Prosciutto on Lavender Sourdough

posted by

Frou-frou tasting menu-y, I know — I admit, I’m definitely a foodie who loves her delicious-sounding, exotically overwritten restaurant blurbs. This sammy is actually cheap and easy, and you can call it Roasted Cauliflower and Prosicutto on Sourdough instead, to de-pretentious it. Funnily enough, I didn’t realize that there’s a 2013 trend of “cauliflower steak” […]

Fried Kielbasa, Fenneled Pear & Arugula on Cinnamon-Cardamom Toast

posted by

I had the most amazing pear and arugula salad at A Voce in the Time Warner Center with my sister last weekend. It was so refreshing and addictive, I told the guys at the table sitting next to us to get it too. (They seemed to be happy they did.) What sent it over the […]

Open-Faced Lemon-Parm Edamame Sammy on Wheat Pepper Bread

posted by

Happy Thursday! On offer today? Another veggie-friendly sammy, because I’m about to go on a tear of meatatarian recipes over the next few weeks. I came up with this spread because back in the days when I’d hit the salad bar at the Time Inc. cafeteria, the lemon juice-parm-edamame trifecta was my go-to. Here’s what […]

Vermont Cheddar Wheat Bread and Croatian Fig Spread Sandwich

posted by

Here’s something sweet and savory for this weekend. Luckily, it’s also cheap (less than $1.50 each!) and relatively simple: just fresh cheese bread, cheddar slices and fig spread. For a fast, easy version: Just buy a crusty loaf of whole wheat peasant bread (bonus if you can find one with cheese in it), and heat […]

Cheesy Creamed Corn Frittata with Bacon Sandwich

posted by

The inspiration for this recipe comes from my boyfriend’s mom, Joyce, whose family has been putting the “Holy s!” in holidays with their creamed corn/Velveeta/bacon/egg noodle casserole for decades. I crave it year-round, however, so here’s the sandwich version minus the noodles. For the rolls, I used the leftover Pan De Sal dough which I’ve […]

Post-Game Report on the Filipino Steak Sliders

posted by

Hope you all enjoyed the Super Bowl and Queen B’s halftime show! I’m so glad I did test runs on both the Pan De Sal and the Beef Tapa before Sunday, because our guests got a much better version of the little Super Bowl Sammies. I filmed video of two critiques, but for some reason […]

Simple Super Bowl Sammy: Filipino Steak Sliders

posted by

I’d say that this Beef Tapa sandwich is in honor of how well my Filipino brother Sheldon Simeon is doing on Top Chef (except for that soggy surf and turf, ick), but really, it’s just that Beef Tapa is an addictive and easy dish that more food fans need to know about. A quick pic […]
