Chicken Marrakech Sandwich

I had chicken breasts in my fridge, a kitchen cabinet filled to the brim with fragrant spices, a crunchy ciabatta, and some Greek yoghurt. Plus—and this is the important part—my beloved sweet mango chutney. I can’t live without that stuff. That was really all it took to create this explosion of tantalizing flavors. My new favorite sandwich is born!   Ingredients: 1 large ciabatta 2 chicken breasts 1 large onion…

Sloppy Joe Meatball Sandwich

I was so glad I grabbed my camera when I decided to give this recipe a try. Here’s what happens when Sloppy Joe meets Parmesan meatballs and is slightly tweaked. It’s a serious mix and match of ingredients that I at first didn’t think would work out at all. Boy, was I wrong. This is meatball love on a bun.   Ingredients: bread of choice 1 pound ground beef 1/2 small…

Just dirty dishes, a messy kitchen and a lot of happy faces. Did I mention the dirty dishes already? Because your family will devour this and will send you straight back into the kitchen for more. Provided you’re willing to do that, of…

Can I haz Cheeseburger?

This ain’t your average cheeseburger, that’s for sure. It’s BBQ season! Finally the snow’s gone and it’s time to get your BBQ on! We fired up the pit. I seasoned the burgers, stuffed them with mozzarella and slapped them on the BGE. Grilled a few Roma tomatoes and onion slices while I was at it, mainly to get them as sweet and tasty as possible. I topped the burgers with the…

Curried Mango & Chicken Sandwich

It’s been a while, but finally I have a new favorite sandwich. One that doesn’t involve bacon and avocado! My 12-stepper program is going very well, thank you. I’ve always been a major fan of chicken and fruit combinations, be it for dinner or lunch, and this particular combination works beautifully. It’s got it all, the whole roller coaster of flavors, textures and colors. I’m using mayonnaise as well as…
