Lunch
These Are The Bomb! I must have been living under a rock or in a cave for the past few years, because I had never heard of these clever little “bomb”-type appetizers. Apparently there is one made with pepperoni, resembling a pizza in flavor, that has been all the rage. These in this recipe are [...]
Delightfully Hot and Cold – All at the Same Time! Don’t be fooled by the picture, this is a chilled soup, not some fancy new drink! It is a fruit gazpacho, topped with a crab, lime and jalapeno relish. This light and elegant chilled soup could be served as a light lunch, maybe with a [...]
A Whole Lotta Meat - Try This On For Size! There really isn’t that much to make a fuss about, because it is, essentially a ham and cheese sandwich, with the addition of roast pork, salami (if you like it), very thinly-sliced dill pickles and mustard (just the plain yellow variety, nothing fancy at all). [...]
Bunches of Crunches! This salad has been around for years and is a potluck and picnic staple. People love the crunchiness of the salad coupled with the tangy sweetness of the dressing. Some of the ingredients have changed a little over the past decades, to reflect our more health-conscious eating habits. Avocado, mango and edamame [...]
Just How “Southern” Are Y’all? Any Southerner worth their salt has some type of personal relationship with this humble, porridge-like foodstuff called grits. There seems to be a rather controversial divide when it comes to grits: either you absolutely love them, or you absolutely hate them. As a Southern gal myself, I was raised on [...]
Are You Ready For Utter Deliciousness? One of Jersey’s signature identifying features, and one of which they are inordinately proud, is the humble cheesesteak sandwich. I have to admit, a cheesesteak is a very satisfying sandwich, full of beef, cheese, onions and peppers. But I can’t always take the time to drive to Jersey. My [...]
Grilled Delight – Not Just for Lacto-Ovo Vegetarians While the rest of us are blithely making our new-fangled grilled cheese sandwiches with bacon and other meats, the lacto-ovo vegetarians (those who consume dairy products and eggs) are looking on, perhaps with a little envy. Don’t they deserve a “special” grilled cheese sandwich, too? Damned straight, [...]
What’s Better Than an Argentine Tango? This Recipe, Of Course! Some will like it hot. Others will like it chilled. Either way you choose to serve it, you are going to get rave reviews. I wouldn’t normally recommend a soup for summer, unless it was a light, chilled soup. This soup is one of those [...]
Your Mouth Will Never Be The Same Again! How many times have you gone to your kitchen, looked through the pantry, then opened the refrigerator, only to turn away with a sigh at contemplating the thought of eating the same old boring sandwich ONE. MORE. TIME? Well, check out this amazing combination! Don’t worry about [...]
Sometimes, a Little Bacon is All You Need When it is too hot to do much cooking, my thoughts turn to sandwiches. They are quick, easy and can be a very healthy choice, depending on their composition. Another very valuable feature of sandwiches, especially if you have any picky eaters in your household, is that [...]
