Main Dish Pork Sandwiches

Croque Monsieur & Croque Madame

Welcome to the best sandwich. Ever. This is the main reason I fire up my panini grill. I first got my grill years ago (actually it’s a Cuisinart griddler) and soon after bought Panini after going through tons of panini cookbooks. The first recipe…

PM (Nashville)

If you follow me on Twitter, or know me on Facebook, or in person, you’ve probably heard me talk about sushi…repeatedly…ad nauseam. I’ve blown it up with social media about my new found love for it. I’d written it off years ago after trying…

Classic White Bread

I am a huge fan of homemade bread. It really is ridiculously easy to make at home, especially with a bread machine. I always have all the ingredients on hand, so one night the mood struck me and I decided to bake. I’m usually…

Mint Chocolate Chip Meringues

I believe this may be the third recipe on my blog involving mint chocolate chip. I love, love, love the flavor combination of mint and chocolate. After making the Irish Meringues, I still had egg whites to use and thought I’d experiment with another…

Irish Meringues

There’s a good chance these Irish Meringues have nothing to do with Ireland. I first ate them back in middle school and my mom thinks I made them in home economics, but I vaguely remember making them for a history class. So who knows…

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

I’ve had my ice cream maker for a few years now and I love it. But until recently, I stuck to Philadelphia-style ice cream, meaning no egg yolks because I have a horrible track record with tempering eggs. One of my first memories of…

Shamrock Sugar Cookies

I am madly in love with decorated sugar cookies. After the success of my Boots & Guitars, I couldn’t wait to dive back in. I jumped at the chance to make more when Shannon over at Family Bites requested a tutorial and we both…

Stuffed Piquanté Peppers

What’s a piquanté pepper you ask? Only the most delicious, bite-sized pepper out there. I first had one at Rumba here in Nashville and fell in love instantly. These Stuffed Piquanté Peppers are tiny bites of heaven. It’s a South African pepper that is mild,…

Ham & Swiss Sliders

I made these Ham & Swiss Sliders for a party and I knew they’d be a hit from the Hawaiian sweet bread alone, but I had no idea exactly how good they’d turn out. I love a good sandwich, and bite-sized is even better.…
