Parmesan Pesto Grilled Tomato, Ham & Cheese Sandwich
Parmesan Pesto Grilled Tomato, Ham & Cheese Sandwich. Thank you Deli Man. He asked me if I’d like some samples. How did he know? I told him I needed some ham, but not just any ham, something different. He said (in a foreign accent, the tall, dark..kind) and I quote “have you tried the Boar’s Head Rosemary Ham.” Why no, I haven’t. And my friends…The Rosemary Ham & Gruyere Cheese Sandwich {with Sundried Tomatoes} was born. Stay with me, we’re getting to the Parmesan Pesto Grilled Tomato, Ham & Cheese Sandwich. Soon.

Blackberry Margaritas
Blackberry Margaritas When the blackberries are in season and look this good, I’m hunting recipes to make. This Margarita recipe from Cooking Light was just what I was looking for. Just so happens it makes four two…so I recommend inviting a friend, like I did.

Moussaka {Greek Eggplant Lasagna}
Moussaka. The best Moussaka I’ve ever had was in ‘a diner.’ The kind of diner you find in CT or NY, that are open all night, where you can order fried eggs, t-bone steaks, pancakes, cocktails, Moussaka (or hundreds of other dishes)…any time of day. Every time I visit my sister we have at least one meal at a diner, doesn’t matter which one because they’re all good, and most often I order Moussaka.

Blackened Chicken Pot Pie
Blackened Chicken Pot Pie. Because sometimes you need to step outside your comfort zone. I offered two choices for dinner. Would you like Pasta with Blackened Chicken or Chicken Pot Pie? The response, Yes. And the Blackened Chicken Pot Pie was born.

Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins {Share the Love}
Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins from Cooking Light. This recipe sounded so good to me. Perhaps because I’m on a blueberry kick and until recently I had forgotten how easy muffins are to make. They are truly underrated. Breakfast on the go. Great snack. Start to finish, ready in 30 minutes. Brought them to the office this morning to {Share the Love}. A nice healthy start to our week.

Deconstructed Shrimp & Grits {one small bite at a time}
Deconstructed Shrimp & Grits ~ One small bite at a time. I’m not sure where to begin with this one. I was fumbling around the kitchen one Saturday afternoon, clearly making no headway on dinner. An ensuing melt-down in the making (doesn’t happen often but apparently there are precursors). To head it off, I was given a challenge. “Forget dinner. You have one hour to create an appetizer, something you’ve never made before. Then we’ll decide about dinner.”

French Onion Soup Grilled Cheese Sandwich
A French Onion Soup Grilled Cheese Sandwich didn’t seem quite as crazy as my Spaghetti & Meatball Grilled Cheese Sandwich last week. Boy did I catch some flack for that one from the healthy-eating police.

Dark & Stormy Cocktail {and Night}
The Dark & Stormy Cocktail. I was driving to work this morning listening to the radio when I detected a bit of excitement in the weatherman’s voice. The kind he gets when a storm is brewing. It’s the start of tornado season and the weather conditions are just right for late afternoon thunderstorms. He cautioned his radio audience….be prepared for a Dark & Stormy Night on your evening drive home.

Sage Roasted Chicken & Sausage {with Potatoes & Onions}
Lemony Thyme is certainly a favorite herb around here, but her sister Sage is a close second. I love this recipe from Nigella Lawson for Sage and Onion Roasted Chicken & Sausage. We’ve lightly adapted it to use boneless chicken breasts, turkey sausages, and we include potatoes to round out the dish.
