It practically became a mission. I grilled duck breast after duck breast – skin side up, skin side down, high […]

Heirloom Tomato Panini…Relax and Simplify

July 25, 2011

The temptation to sneak in a few slices of thick-cut bacon on these Heirloom Tomato Panini was so strong. I so badly wanted to just chop a little fresh basil from my garden and mix it in with the homemade mayo. Just one little piece of fresh mozzarella? But everything I’ve been hearing about the […]

Foil-Grilled Salmon with Pesto and Tomatoes (on a Panini Maker!)

July 14, 2011

In working through all the pesto in our house I had the idea to use some in a grilled salmon recipe. Once I came across my friend Kalyn’s recipe for Foil-Baked Salmon with Basil Pesto and Tomatoes, I just had to see if packet grilling would work on a panini maker. (Before I continue…just a heads […]

Grilled Wine & Cheese

April 7, 2011

Just when I think I’ve tried every possible technique for making sandwiches on this blog I find a new concept that begs me to try it. Have you ever brushed wine inside a grilled cheese sandwich? I was browsing the recipe section of the Panera Bread website when I saw a recipe for Grilled Gruyère on Asiago […]

Yes, I know summer is typically tomato season in most places, but Roma tomatoes are actually available year-round (at least here in San Diego). I can’t help it if I have a craving for Slow-Roasted Tomatoes on panini […]

Grilled Chipotle Falafel

March 9, 2009

I actually won a giveaway! Among the bonanza of all kinds of Mediterranean dips and chips that recently arrived on my doorstep (thanks to the Foodie BlogRoll and Cedars Mediterranean Foods) were two big tubs of tzatziki – you know, the Greek cucumber-yogurt dip. I wasn’t quite sure how I would use up these delicious, […]

Bacon Tuna Melt Panini

February 24, 2009

Do you say “tunafish”? Or just “tuna”? Sandwiches made with a salad of canned tuna, mayonnaise and celery were “tunafish” to me growing up because that’s what my parents, both New Yorkers, called them. But I’ve rarely, if ever, heard the word in California. It’s always “tuna salad” or “tuna sandwich”, but never “tunafish.” I’m […]
