Sandwich #76–“Crock-Pot Mastered” Pulled Pork Sandwich

There comes a time in every food bloggers life that she becomes so important–and so polarizing–that she needs security. That time has arrived for me. Call me the Sarah Palin of food, but I have a guy with a gun and a car to follow me around for a while just in case someone doesn’t […]

Sandwich #73–“Snowboard Food” Peanut Butter and Nutella Sandwich

Rating: E and I only spend a few hours a day together during the week, most of those spent sleeping side by side in bed. But when the weekend comes, we have been spending our quality time snowboarding. I’m not supposed to work out regularly yet (still recovering from surgery) but snowboarding works the lower […]

Sandwiches #71 and #72: “Comfort Food” Pizza Melts

Rating: E had a bad day. Work left him frustrated and sad, and Mr. Sunshine usually never lets work stress get him down. He had never looked so defeated as when I saw him after work, moping around in his trusty white robe. I couldn’t just make him a sandwich. I had to take him […]

Sandwich #60–“Sugar Crack” Candy Cane Sugar Cookie Sandwiches

Rating: Remember I said I’m not allowed to eat sugar past 9 PM, for I turn into a hyped-up Gremlin and end up dancing and jumping around the apartment until well past E’s bedtime? Well, imagine how nutty I’ve become during the holiday season. I have eaten cookies for every meal during the twelve days […]

Sandwich #59–“Holiday Party” Gingerbread Cookie Sandwiches

Rating: A holiday party in our house has a few requirements. Booze. Good food. Carefully curated guest list. A music playlist to shake your groove thang to. And a specific dress code. E and I hosted our First Annual Holiday Pajama Party, where the dress code required the same sleeping attire you wear at home […]

Sandwich #58–“Semi-Homemade” Falafel

Rating: A right of passage before turning 35 is having one good solid health scare to frighten you into eating better, giving up booze and exercising more, even if you already do these things. E had one earlier this year involving breathing issues, but after a few doctor’s visits and medicine, the issue was treated. […]

Sandwich #57–“Road Trip” S’mores

E and I took a road trip up to Killington, VT this weekend for some snowboarding. Finally, we got to do a sport that I was actually skilled in. I have been snowboarding for about eight years and can master my fair share of black diamonds. I’ve even weaseled my way out of some hairy […]

Sandwich #56–“Not That Big a Pot” Meatball Sandwiches

Sometimes, I can follow instructions too literally. For example, I have a soft voice, one which has the same timbre as ambient noise. This means when I’m in a crowded restaurant or loud office, it’s hard for others to hear me because the tone of my voice isn’t high pitched like a little girl or […]

Sandwich #54–“Still in Robe” Fried Egg Sandwich

Rating: When E and I moved in together, my mother sent us a housewarming gift filled with little goodies for our first place together–candles, dishrags, a decorative cup or two. She also sent a white, terry cloth robe with a matching blanket that was intended for me, but E saw it first and claimed it. […]
