Deviled Egg Sandwiches
Back in the years of living single & carefree, I had a Summer when I barely had enough money to buy eggs, bread, and and a few vegetables. Somehow, I look back on that time as the best time of my single life. Anyhoo. Remember when I shared the Cheesey Zucchini and Squash recipe and told you that I would eat cheesey zucchini & squash when I grew tired of egg salad sandwiches? Well here's... More...

I'll bet you've never eaten a Tex-Mex Sloppy Joe before? Me either. It's pretty good! The kids didn't know what to think of this sandwich at first. After I made them, I mean, I asked them to try it, they were pleasantly surprised. My picky eater wasn't crazy about the tomatoes, but I knew that would happen. The slice of Monterey Jack cheese really makes it for the kiddos. HERE'S ALL IT TAKES 1/2... More...

I heard of Nutella for the first time, about a year ago. I had watched some program about International Chefs cooking in fancy restaurants, but still having to offer condiments that are below Foodie par. There was an Italian chef in California who offered Nutella on toasted baguette slices. He said, "Nutella to Italy is what Peanut Butter is to America." I was intrigued.... More...

I'm trying out two new recipes this morning. So, I thought to put together a super simple hot lunch. The hubby and I love Morningstar's Black Bean Patties. In about 20 minutes, we were eating black bean cheeseburgers and fries. The kiddos had their favorite chicken nuggets and fries. I consider this worth posting because the lunch was quick to prepare, hot and flavorful. Sometimes, these... More...

Nothing says Ladies' Luncheon like finger sandwiches, ice tea and rich desserts. Last week, I signed up to make tuna salad sandwiches for my Community Bible Study class. I love a GOOD tuna salad sandwich. No other sandwich is more filling. Now, a really good tuna salad sandwich must be made to be sweet and salty with crunch and chew. The bread needs to be firm or toasted,... More...

My favorite time saving appliance is the microwave. At one time, all I ever used it for was reheating my coffee and warming up leftovers. Then, I had more time to spend at the stove. That was a time when hand washing dishes was more energy efficient than running a dishwasher. Mercy, how time and children change us. Today, I use my microwave every chance I can. I will admit, I've never attempted... More...
