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 […]
