You won’t even realize you’re eating leftovers with this Grilled Cheese Thanksgiving Leftovers Sandwich. It has turkey, sweet apple, tart cranberry sauce, tons of Tillamook cheese, and fried sage. It takes the idea of reinventing leftovers to a whole new level!

Does anyone remember the Friends episode with the “moist maker”? (Ross’ turkey sandwich with a gravy-soaked slice of bread in the center.)…

Banh Mi Sandwich with Instant Pot Short Ribs and Quick Pickled Slaw

February 18, 2019 by Faith 1 Comment

This Banh Mi Sandwich with Instant Pot Short Ribs and Quick Pickled Slaw is the perfect combination of tender meat and zesty fresh, flavorful slaw. It’s my take on a classic favorite! One of the best things about a sandwich (of course in addition to the fact that it’s portable and easy to make), is that you’re able to pack in a ton of flavors and textures. Here I paired braised beef short ribs with a sweet and spicy pickled slaw for the perfect balance....

Easy Meatball Bomber Recipe

All opinions are mine alone. #CollectiveBias #DeliciousSpeaksForItself #RaosHomemade This Easy Meatball Bomber Recipe is crowd-pleasing open-faced meatball sandwiches that are as perfect for the big game as they are for weeknight dinner. Growing up in my family, dinnertime was family time. Meals took place around the table, never in front of the TV or even with the TV on. My mom thought our conversation with each other about our day was just as important as feeding us a nutritious meal. I’m grateful to her for that, it really helped instill a sense […]...

Caramelized Pineapple Grilled Cheese with Honeyed Walnuts

April 27, 2015 by Faith 26 Comments

What’s up with the pineapples on houses everywhere?, either Mike asked me or I asked him when we first moved to Virginia. Because they literally are everywhere…we noticed them carved or engraved on mailboxes, porches, doorways, doorknobs, door knockers, and welcome mats, and that’s before you even get inside. Once inside a traditional Southern house, you may notice a pineapple design integrated right into the house (for example, carved into fireplace mantels), as well as throughout the décor (like in paintings and carpets)....

Egg Salad with Bacon and Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing

September 3, 2014 by Faith 7 Comments

Growing up, the only thing worse than finding tunafish in my lunchbox was finding egg salad there. And the real problem was that I (and everyone else) knew it was there even before I opened my lunch. (Such is the problem of potent-smelling sandwiches when you’re a kid!) So believe me when I tell you that egg salad is a newly acquired taste for me....

Za’atar-Spiced Chicken and Bell Pepper Sandwiches with Labneh

July 11, 2014 by Faith 7 Comments

When I think of a picnic, I always think of fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, potato salad, some kind of cooked greens, iced tea, and a big chocolate cake. I realize that this sounds very Southern, which is odd to me because I’m from New York…and I can’t ever remember having a picnic like this in my life! (Who knows, maybe I did when I was a kid and I just don’t remember.)...

BLT {Butter Lettuce, Lox + Tarragon Schmear Bagel Sandwiches} & An Announcement

April 26, 2013 by Faith 23 Comments

A couple years ago, Mike and I were at a pretty spiffy hotel in New York City; one morning Mike had to leave early for a meeting. I was debating between a workout, bubble bath, and breakfast. Being in New York and being the bagel-lover that I am, breakfast won out. There were a couple of delis not even a block away, but left to my own devices, I ordered room service: an espresso and a lox bagel. (Since then I’ve smartened up and generally choose the deli to satiate my cravings.)...

Strawberry Grilled Cheese {With Fresh Strawberry Balsamic Relish}

April 4, 2013 by Faith 31 Comments

Grilled cheese, the iconic American sandwich, is a favorite of most kids growing up and never stops being comfort food, even to adults. Crisp and buttery outside and gooey with melted cheese inside, it’s the perfect sandwich, even in its most basic form. I grew up on American cheese-grilled cheese sandwiches, usually paired with tomato soup, which was of course the perfect accompaniment for dipping purposes. As my sister and I would greedily scarf down our sandwiches and soup, my mom would enjoy grilled cheese of a different kind: a much more grown-up version, usually with a sweet flair....

Sweet Honey-Pomegranate Grilled Cheese

January 25, 2013 by Faith 18 Comments

I don’t remember the first (edible) recipe I ever made, but I remember what it was for my brother: grilled cheese. He was about 10 and home alone for the first time. Of course, despite orders not to, he cooked for himself. My mom said she got home and he ran over to her, saying he figured out the secret trick to the best grilled cheese in the world. (A mighty tall claim for a 10-year-old!) My mom, who was more than a little intrigued, smiled and asked What? Grinning like the Cheshire cat, my brother exclaimed You have to slap the cheese back and […]...
