Strawberry Grilled Cheese with Salted Caramel
Get excited, people: I’ve found a way to eat grilled cheese for DESSERT. It’s called Strawberry Grilled Cheese with Salted Caramel, and it’s going to rock your socks! Don’t get me wrong: I loooove savory grilled cheese. Basically, if it’s cheese and it’s melty and it’s between two pieces of buttered and grilled bread, I’M THERE. This recipe definitely still fits the bill, but instead of savory ingredients we’ve used sweet on... Read More
Loaded Baked Potato Grilled Cheese Sandwich
In college I worked at a local restaurant waiting tables, and we had to plate the main entree and side before serving it to our customers. Our most popular side was a loaded baked potato. We were required to assemble the baked potatoes in a certain order: cheese, (first – so it would melt), butter, sour cream, bacon and green onions. Imagine me repeating this in my head a hundred times in my head every night so that I didn't mess it up. I have... Read More

Unfortunately, sloppy joes remind most people of bad school lunches, but we can easily save them and bring them back to the dinner table.

My Fire-Roasted Sloppy Joes are not only delicious, but you can have them on the table in just over thirty minutes! [gallery title="HOW IT'S DONE"]... Read More

Pork Belly Banh Mi
Americans think they have sandwiches down. Hamburger, cold cut on rye, and Philly cheesesteak. What more do you need? Unfortunately, in my opinion none of these can touch the Vietnamese sandwich called banh mi. The combination of marinated and roasted meat, spicy mayo, and tangy pickled veggies is just irresistible. For my Pork Belly Banh Mi recipe, I made everything from scratch except the bread. I’ll show you how to do the same and als... Read More
Oyster “Po’ Mi” Sandwich
Po’ Boy and Banh Mi sandwiches both came about when French people inhabited a new part of the world and started cooking with local ingredients. These two sandwiches aren't that different really, so I decided to bring them together for a new sandwich I like to call The Po’ Mi. There isn't really anything po’ about this sandwich however. Oysters are expensive! But even though I was saying po’ mi at the check out line, any regrets wer... Read More

Easy Peasy Egg Sandwiches
I don’t have kids yet, but I am anticipating those crazy, where’s-my-hairbrush and why-did-I-put-the-milk-back-in-the-cupboard-instead-of-the-fridge mornings.

And how do I do it without losing any of my beauty rest? These Easy Peasy Egg Sandwiches came to the rescue. Once faced w... Read More
Fall TV: Two and a Half Men Sandwiches
Turns out TV stars can be easily replaced. The same can be said for sandwiches. After all, if a top TV show like Two and a Half Men can replace Charlie Sheen with Ashton Kutcher…well, you can replace the boring single meat sandwiches in your life with a Double Meat Dudewich. What’s a dudewich, you ask? A manly sandwich that’s all about extremes. Two meats – beer-soaked barbecued pork and savory smoked sausage –piled high on an o... Read More

Banh Mi
Banh Voyage Banh Mi (or bánh mì) are popping up everywhere these days, it seems, and no wonder: cheap, fast and filling has always been a winning combination. "Exotic" is also rarely a terrible thing. A Vietnamese baguette, when done correctly, is ethereal and light with a delicate crust. It is the perfect vessel for a sandwich, and the banh mi — a type of sandwich usually made with grilled meat (pork or chicken are most common), cilantro a... Read More
Cuban Rouladen Sandwich
Rouladen is a delicious German dish, basically a meat roll filled with tasty things like pickles and mustard. I was revisiting it recently, trying to think of a creative spin I could put on it – when I remembered another dish I love that also stars pickles and mustard: The Cuban Sandwich! So this time I loaded up the flank steak with everything great about Cuban sandwiches: pickles, mustard, ham, and Swiss cheese. The Cuban Rouladen came out... Read More
