We’re back from sunny Florida—or as E says in his nasally grandma accent, “FLA–ri–DAH!”

Sandwich #207—“Wishy Washy” Sirloin Steak Sandwich with Caramelized Onions and Peppers
Here’s how E and I choose what we’re having for dinner.
Sandwich #206–“Ring Shopping” Curried Chicken Salad
Rating: I can’t believe what I did this weekend.
Sandwich #205–“Name Calling” Greek Salad Wraps
When someone calls you names—own it!
Sandwich #203–“Make Him a Plate” Turkey, Cranberry Sauce and Cheddar Cheese Melt
I made E a plate of Thanksgiving leftovers this weekend, including this grilled cheese pictured above. It got me thinking about the concept of making your man a plate.
Sandwich #199—“Saturday Nights in Your Thirties” Roast Chicken and Waffle BLT
Saturday nights used to be for dinners out and club hopping. But I do enough of that during the week for my day job at The New York Post. Now—nesting with my boyfriend in my mid-30s—Saturday nights are for roasting chicken.
Sandwich #198–“Pot Kettle Black” Baba Ganoush with Peppers and Greens
Now that I finally had edible baba ganoush, I could make a light sandwich for E’s lunch, which I had to do to save face after hanging out late the night before.
Cooking Class: Baba Ganoush
Who takes four days to make baba ganoush? This girl!
Sandwich #196–“Manly Feelings” Egg Salad with Bacon and Dijon Mustard
E and I were both emotional over breakfast yesterday.
Sandwich #195–“Dinner with Friends” Lamb Sandwich with Fig Jam and Arugula
E and I reconnected with some cool friends this weekend.
Sandwich #194–“Hold the Greens” Three Cheese Grilled Cheese with Walnuts and Honey
I had a post a few weeks ago about why one should not order the plain white sandwich. Unless you’re E, and your girlfriend is making grilled cheese sandwiches with sauteed brussels sprouts and you despise the green veggies.
Sandwich #193–“Lunch Break” Tomato with Pesto and Goat Cheese
I love pumpkin, but I needed a break from the ubiquitous pumpkin flavored goods in our house—biscuits and whoopie pies and even creme brulee that E made a few nights ago. I may have to get my flapper dress for Halloween an extra size bigger at the rate I’m inhaling these sugary treats.
Cooking Class: Honey Pumpkin Biscuits
I feel it is my civic duty to tell you all to make these pumpkin biscuits immediately.
Sandwich #191–“Don’t Judge Me on My Bathroom” Pumpkin Whoopie Pies with Bourbon Creme Filling
In honor of our appearance on the Rachael Ray show today, I made her version of pumpkin whoopie pies
Sandwich #190–“It’s A Boy” Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Cream Cheese Filling
This weekend was super exciting for us. E and I went to see two of our dearest friends, Jenny and Otto, and meet their new baby, Arlo.
Sandwich #189–“Failure is Always an Option” Egg and Tomato Jam Breakfast Sandwich
I had two epic fails last week.
Sandwich #188–“I’m Scared of You on Football” Chicken Meatball Sub
Hump day. Halfway to the weekend, which is time for one of my favorite fall weekend activities: watching football.
Sandwich #187–“Fall Harvest Beach Break” Sweet Potato, Black Bean and Corn Burgers with Tomato Jam
Rating: Last weekend was sunny and windy, so E hightailed it out of the house to go kitesurfing. He deserved it, the poor thing had been working 12 hours days. He needed a break.
Sandwich #186–“Truffle Shuffle” Moliterno Cheese with Truffles and Fig Jam
Rating: E asked me out for a wine date last night (how sweet!), since we hadn’t seen each other outside of the apartment all week. When we got home, he turned to the refrigerator. “Guess what I got?” he said.
Sandwich #184–“Sunset Barbecue, Part Two” Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
I should mention that our sunset dinner a few days ago almost didn’t happen.
Sandwich #182–“Light A Fire Under Your…” Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
Sunday afternoon. Me. Football. TV. Heaven. Sunday afternoon. E. Computer. Office. Heaven.
Sandwich #181–“Don’t Get the Plain White Bagel” Turkey, Swiss and Granny Smith Apple
Not all of the sandwiches I make are winners.
Sandwich #180–“Wanderlust” Ham and Pineapple on Pretzel Roll
The weather is so delightful in New York City–it’s been a sky blue 70 degrees and sunny all week. But the sunshine got E and I thinking about our next vacation.
Sandwich #179–“Not Your Mother’s Roast Beef” Spicy French Dip
On Sunday nights of my childhood, my mother often made pot roasts.
