But while they might not be much of a feast for the eyes, let me assure you that your mouth will be very happy you decided to make them. With the colder temperatures and football championships upon us, it’s chili-making [...]

Leftover Turkey Panini: Turkey Cuban Panini

November 26, 2009

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! My second of three panini ideas to use up that leftover turkey – Turkey Cuban Panini - was actually inspired by Bobby Flay, my off-and-on chef crush. I had the chance to meet him about seven years ago on a visit to Mesa Grill in New York City. [...]

Turkey, Cranberry & Havarti Panini (My 50th!)

November 25, 2008

It’s my 50th sandwich – woo hoo! The people have spoken and Turkey, Cranberry & Havarti Panini it is. Excellent choice, folks!

Chipotle Chicken (No-Flip!) Quesadilla

October 25, 2008

My husband tends to be more of an “appreciator” of food rather than a “creator”, but if there’s one thing he likes to make it’s quesadillas. And he’ll make them out of anything. Leftover hamburger in the fridge? It goes in a quesadilla. One more spoonful of peanut butter left in the jar? Peanut butter [...]

Chicken-Grape Salad & Gruyere Panini

I was on Day 3 of my five pounds of Chicken Marbella (which is amazing, by the way – I highly recommend Elise’s recipe!) today when I decided [...]
