sandwich

Around here, we love sandwiches. So we are always looking for new ways to combine our favorite meats, cheeses, condiments, and vegetables. After going to one of our favorite restaurants (Clyde Iron in West Duluth) and seeing how they combined pulled chicken with garlic aioli sauce, avocado, and pico de gallo, we knew we had another sandwich project to try. It was a truly incredible combination of flavors!

We have been on a pulled chicken craze lately. We bought roughly four pounds of chicken and just started boiling it up to see what kinds of tasty meals we could make. After a large batch of Chicken Tacos, we went for some BBQ style chicken.

I love grilled cheese sandwiches!  They are easy to make and you can add pretty much any ingredient you like.

On this particular occassion, I has some leftover Texas toast sitting around that needed to be eaten.  I decided to buy some avocados and whip up a particularly tasty grilled cheese sandwich!  Check it out!

I love the Monte Cristo Sandwich. However, it is fairly unhealthy what with it being a deep fried sandwich and all. 
So I pondered to myself and decided to test out a theory: can the Monte Cristo be delicious as a baked sandwich?

As I've mentioned before, we never really ate fast food or boxed meals growing up.  Most of the time, it was homecooked meals.  However, on the rare occassion when we were traveling and we needed something quick to eat, we may stop at a fast food restaurant for breakfast.  I was always deeply surprised by how distasteful the breakfasts were.  For a while, I even disliked ordering breakfast foods at restaurants because I found them to be

Every once in a while the grocery store has logs of fresh mozzarella on sale that beg to be bought and consumed. When last this happened, we purchased two logs and came up with a variety of tasty ways to incorporate them into our meals. This particular time was an experiment of condiments / sauces we had around the house, baguette bread, tomatoes, and fresh mozzarella. Check out these ideas!

For our third Meal in 15 Minutes or Less lunch, we are going to make a ham and turkey wrap.  This beautiful wrapped sandwich is easy to make and, because the tortilla does not get soggy as quickly as regular bread, it can be made in advance! 

I do not know for how long this has been a trend, but lately apples have been showing up in my sandwiches... and they're delicious!
I wanted to try my hand at making such a sandwich so I gathered up ingredients I had around the home and began constructing my first sandwich with apples on it.

My husband and I frequent a local sandwich shop called Erbert and Gerbert's. They have unusually named sandwiches with delightful stories behind each. Mostly, though, they are just a really good sandwich shop. That being said, sometimes you don't want to pay sandwich shop prices, so I decided I would attempt my hand at one of my favorite sandwiches: The Geeter. In short, it is a chopped seafood sandwich with bacon, mayo, lettuce, and tomato. It's wonderful!

Growing up, my sister and I used to regularly go to a local bagel shop that made the best breakfast sandwiches. Walking in the door brought on the most amazing smells of freshly baking bagels mixed with hints of ham, bacon, and cheeses. Our favorite meal to order was the Ham and Cheese Eggwich. It was magical the way the egg would get fluffly and the cheese would melt. I didn't understand back then how they were able to form this favorite breakfast delight.
