The next campfire recipe from our week long anniversary camping trip is a simple sausage sandwich that’s perfect after a long hike. The sausages, buns and red pepper are all roasted over the campfire so that you don’t need to break out a camp stove or grill. But if you can’t imagine yourself “roughing it” in a tent, you can just as easily make these sandwiches on the grill for your next backyard BBQ. Read more
I LOVE tuna salad sandwiches! I try not to make them too often because of the whole mercury thing, but I feel like a little kid whenever I eat one. This is the recipe I made up when I was about 6. If a six year old can make it, you KNOW it’s easy tuna salad! This is another great way to use those hard boiled eggs.
An easy egg salad recipe means just a few ingredients and not too much chopping. To me, the key to this egg salad recipe is the grated onion, which imparts a quick onion flavor with out having to chop it finely enough to not get big chunks of onion in every bite.
I’ve had a lot of women ask me “how can I get my husband to eat Asian food?” or say “my son won’t eat Asian food!”. Well here is the recipe you’ve been looking for. First of all, don’t tell them it’s Banh Mi, or Asian, just call it a Steak Sandwich…say it with me now…STEAK SANDWICH. What man or teenage boy wouldn’t flip head over heals for those two words?
Go try it, just say “Honey, would you like a steak sandwich for dinner?” Love that reaction!
This tasty sandwich only takes a few minutes of prep and is so filling. The recipe is from my friend Jaden’s brand new cookbook. More about her, the cookbook, and her book tour in my next post…including a GIVEAWAY.
Last week I decided to make a Persian inspired dish in honor of the people of Iran fighting and dying for freedom. I say Persian inspired because I used Panko instead of regular bread crumbs, not traditional in Iranian cooking but I love them so much! I’ve had several meals cooked for me by my friend’s Iranian mother before, but I still did some research before planning my meal. Oh man was it worth it! First we had Salad-e shirazi, a salad of tomato, cucumber and red onion with lime juice and mint. I remember being told this is a favorite summertime dish and I can see why. I didn’t go as traditional as making my own flat bread either, instead getting some pita at the store. I made my favorite hummus recipe, and then came the kebabs. Talk about flavorful! These are Kabab Kubideh, which can be made with beef or lamb, I used beef since we’re trying out some ground beef from a local farm and I really wanted to use it in a recipe where the beef flavor shines through. The secret to these kebabs… Read more
