Cooking
Sunday's dinner; two sandwich recipes we've been looking forward to.
I really only watch Food TV for Barefoot Contessa these days, but as Giada leads into Ina's show I occasionally catch the last five or ten minutes.
Some months ago, Giada was preparing a bunch of sandwiches, and I liked what I saw.
Panino alla Margherita and Panino di Prosciutto e Fontina
Such a simple meal to prepare; I think the 'hardest' part was slicing the bread!
For the Margherita, just mozzarella, tomato and basil. The other was Fontina, spinach and prosciutto (or fake bacon). Brushed with olive oil and grilled till cheese are melted.
Yum. Quick and easy, and so delicious! And because we used a small loaf, leading to small slices, it wasn't too much.
You could turn this into a real meal, or as a quick lunch. Either way, good stuff.

- Grilled Mozzarella Tomato & Pesto Sandwiches Recipe
Lots of people pooh pooh the George Foreman grill. Not me. I think it's great for roasting vegetables, making shish kebabs and grilling delicate things like fish. But most of all I love it for being a makeshift panini press. Last night's grilled...
- Grilled Flank Steak Sandwiches
Grilled Flank Steak Sandwiches; something Matt's been looking forward to. Flank steak (or Morningstar Farms Meal Starters, faux beef) marinated overnight in Dijon mustard and red wine. Next day, pat dry the steak, grill about fifteen minutes. Let...
- Taters And Eggs And Cheese...oh My!
Because plain ol' eggs and toast is so yesterday. Frittata with Potatoes and Prosciutto, a recipe swiped from Giada. Potatoes, onions and garlic sauteed till soft. Over this, pour a mixture of eggs, cream, cheese (calls for Parmesan, and as always,...
- Too Much Cheese...is There Such A Thing?
Just a sampling from our 'cheese drawer'; as you can see, we like cheese. Don't misunderstand. We don't over-cheese our foods. But neither are we afraid to cook with it. So when I saw a recipe for a Four Cheese Panini; I mean, how could...
- Just Buy The Book, Already!
Here's another wonderfully simple, and fast, recipe from Giada De Laurentis. Penne with Sun-dried Tomato Pesto Wow. Talk about an easy meal! I even waited until Matt was home to start cooking, and we still found ourselves sitting at the table,...
