After many years of eating canned cranberry sauce, I vowed last year never to do it again.

300 Sandwiches: The Book
A joke between E and I is about to become a book!
Sandwich #197–“Thanksgiving Prep” Turkey, Cranberry and Cheddar Sliders
Here’s one leftover T-day sandwich to get you inspired for our Thanksgiving Leftovers Ziploc giveaway.
Thanksgiving Leftovers Sandwich Giveaway: Enter to Win Ziploc Goodies!
Oh, do I have something special for y’all. Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday, is around the corner. Most of us will be devouring turkey and trimmings come Nov. 28. But what to do with all of those leftovers? Naturally I’ll be making sandwiches for my hungry E. That’s where you come in.
Why Sandwiches Matter
People have mentioned to me that E is too picky—the man’s Forbidden Foods list is filled with things most people adore. “I sense an immature and still unrefined palate,” one wrote via e-mail.
Forbidden Sandwich #4–Brussels Sprouts Grilled Cheese
As mentioned last week, I made a brussels sprout grilled cheese for dinner to accompany E’s homemade pumpkin spice soup. Brussels sprouts sauteed in sage butter sounded like a perfect compliment to the pumpkin—to me at least.
Eric Northman and the Flapper
Halloween 2013.
Happy Halloween!
E’s Eric Northman costume on the left, my flapper getup on the right. Are we too old to go trick-or-treating?
Sandwich #192–“Costume Shopping” Pumpkin Biscuit, Bacon and Scrambled Egg Sandwich
E has figured out his Halloween costume. I have not.
Cooking Class: Honey Pumpkin Biscuits
I feel it is my civic duty to tell you all to make these pumpkin biscuits immediately.
Halloween Costume Ideas
We’re less than a week away from Halloween, and E and I haven’t decided on our costumes yet.
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
300 Sandwiches and Rachael Ray
E and I are going to be on the Rachael Ray Show on Thursday! We were sworn to secrecy for a while, but now we can tell you to tune in tomorrow and see us talk about the story behind 300 Sandwiches. Want to get to know E and I? Want to see me face […]
The Best Compliment To Give a Man
Thanks, Tamela J Welch-Wallace for the signage!
Condiment Corner: Sweet and Spicy Tomato Jam
I HAD to share this goodness in a separate post. You’ll want to grab any half-decent looking tomatoes you see at the market this week and make this sweet, seedy condiment fo’ yo’ self!
Sandwich #185–“Craving New York” Pastrami and Provolone on Rye
I had never been to Katz’s Delicatessen before this week. What a wonderful world of meat.
Sandwich #183–“Sunset Barbecue Part One” Pork Loin Sandwich with Blackberry BBQ Sauce
Last weekend was 75 degrees and sunny, and we may not see warm temps like that until next year. It was a great excuse to grill meat by the river.
Greeting Card for the Sandwich-Obsessed
Thanks, Juliana M. for posting this to my Facebook wall!
The One Thing I Learned
from the reaction to this: is that people are VERY passionate about their sandwiches.
Never Forget
why we love New York.
Look What We Got!
China set from E’s grandmother. “Well, that’s one thing we can cross off the registry,” E told me. He said REGISTRY. As in, WEDDING REGISTRY. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Sandwich #163–“Make Sure to Get My Good Side” Vietnamese Steak Banh Mi
E and I got all glammed up for a photo shoot this morning. Our directive was to put on our best looks and love up on each other for the camera. Easy enough, right?
Summer in the City
View of Brooklyn Bridge and downtown Manhattan from Brooklyn, 7:30 AM Thursday, on my way from a workout to get groceries. 80 degrees and humid. I don’t take this view for granted—for one, an hour after I took this photo, the skies turned grey and cloudy and it started to rain. Gotta love New York […]
Home Cooking
Found this in my closet the other day. My mom sent it to me packed with all of her old dessert recipes—cobbler included.
