Dear readers, Last time we talked about making a no-knead focaccia bread – now we’re going to use that bread for a delicious chicken sandwich. Ciabatta would probably be a little bit better/more stable, but that’s something I was ready to approach yet. BUT the bread still made for a fantastic loaf, and added such…

On The Best Chicken Salad Sandwich
Dear readers, So fun fact about me: I love sandwiches, especially given it’s almost Thanksgiving, which means TURKEY LEFTOVER SANDWICHES!!! HOWEVER, I hate mayo. Well, hate is a strong word, but I really don’t like it, and only use it sparingly when I have to…Additional fun fact: Sour cream makes a great 50/50 addition whenever…
On Steak Bahn Mi
Dear readers, For once, NOT a soup! Instead, I bring you a sandwich, or as we like to call them in our home “Sammiches.” Near our home, there is a lovely little sandwich shop that has a bomb Bulgogi Beef Bahn Mi sandwich, and while I adore the heck out of their sandwich, I wanted…
On the Best Tuna Salad
One of my favorite sandwiches of tall time is a good tuna salad sandwich, but specifically the kind of tuna salad with not a ton of mayo, any egg pieces, or just mushy tuna – it’s gotta be that big chunky kind of tuna (aka. fancy canned tuna). To find said fancy tuna, it’s not…
On Mini Big Macs
Once again, on a weekend where rain is pouring down, our need for fast food without the risk of exposure came upon us again. And while, yes, a normal burger would be just fine, the hubby was craving a Big Mac, and I was looking to avoid overeating, so we compromised and made them MINI!!!…
On Copycat Panera Pick Two: Frontega Chicken // Chicken & Wild Rice Soup
Hi all, Hoping you’re doing well and staying safe out there. In all the chaos of quarantine and COVID, have I mentioned that my mother-in-law got a new toy for the house? AN INSTANT POT! Now, in my opinion, I found this device to be incredibly intimidating, and my first experience was….not great. I tried…
On A Better Chicken Sandwich
Since completing Whole30 with plans to go back to a Whole30-esque diet from here on out after the holidays until the wedding, one of our favorite fast food/late night meals was 100% ruined in the process: Wendy’s Spicy Chicken Sandwiches. We’ve tried them a couple times since whole30—always late at night, and always when we…

On Frankie’s Jalapeno Smash Burgers
…which is a rare sight in itself! Normally, I run a solo ship, and don’t always ask or require a sous chef, but lately, the man has been helping me out (especially on my longer days that include training) by making us dinner a couple times the last few weeks! And on one of those…
On Sloppy Joes!
I know we all just got done stuffing our faces and bellies with delicious Thanksgiving food (#allthegravy), but I recently shared this recipe with a coworker, and she loved it, so I thought, okay, we’re already getting overly full, so what’s another filling recipe for those post-feast days, or for whenever something gooey and messy…
On BLTG Sandwiches (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, and Guac)
BLTG: Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, and Guacamole. First things first, bread. Sourdough bread to be exact, a must, or something very similar (Tuscan Round Bread if your grocer or baker, if you’re that fancy individual who has one near by, has run out) that can hold up to toasting and layering, and all the good stuff…
