You all know the saying: When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. I live by that saying in the kitchen. No lemons to make lemonade? Let's use those week old limes in the bottom of the crisper drawer. I'm constantly trying to use up what I have leftover in my kitchen and pantry. It's an… Continue reading Baked Buffalo Chicken Subs

Spicy Pimiento Cheese
I must confess. I may be married, but I've been in love since far before I met him...I'm talking since I was in grade school. My second love? Cheese. All things cheese. My profound love for cheese probably comes from my mom, or my grandma. My mom would always have special cheeses out for holiday… Continue reading Spicy Pimiento Cheese
California Club Wraps
I sure miss sandwiches. Grilled cheese, meatball subs...give me all the sandwiches. Sure, I make that keto mug bread every so often, but it's not the same. I love crusty bread sandwiches and subs. God, I miss carbs. The main way I turn sandwiches into keto-fied version is making lettuce wraps. I'm not pick when… Continue reading California Club Wraps
Turkey & Cranberry Sliders
Whoever invented the Hawaiian roll slider, bless them. I've made these things a dozen different times in a dozen different ways. They always turn out marvelous. There's just something about Hawaiian rolls that makes them so good. You could probably slap a piece of tree bark and gravel between two sides of a Hawaiian roll… Continue reading Turkey & Cranberry Sliders
Cranberry & Pecan Turkey Salad
While I was at Trader Joe's the other day, I found this little pre-packaged sandwich in their ready-to-eat section. It was turkey, cranberry and pecan salad with arugula on a wheat roll---and it was FANTASTIC. The only thing I didn't like: celery was on it. If you know me, you know celery is my archnemesis.… Continue reading Cranberry & Pecan Turkey Salad
Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Cherry Pepper Mayo
I whipped out my slow cooker the other day. It had been far too long since I last used my favorite kitchen device. Far too long. I got a cutie Pioneer Woman slow cooker for Christmas, and probably have only used it a half a dozen times since then. I can't give you a good… Continue reading Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Cherry Pepper Mayo
BLT Potato Salad
Who says potato salad has to only be a side dish? Throw some protein in there and you can eat it for a nice, chill lunch. Or, at least that's what I'm telling myself to make myself feel better for eating a bowl full of carbs for lunch today. My constant experimentation with potato salad… Continue reading BLT Potato Salad
Thai Turkey Salad
There's one weird quirk about me and food. I can't eat anything that's blue. I mean unusually blue---I'm not talking about blueberries or blue crab. I'm talking neon-blue-ish. Remember many moons ago when Heinz released blue, green and purple ketchups? I couldn't bring myself to eat the stuff, even if it did taste exactly like… Continue reading Thai Turkey Salad
Cobb Egg Salad
Egg salad sandwiches are to the south what cheesesteaks are to Philly. I've grown up on the cold salad sandwiches. They're the best lunchtime sandwiches for a hot summer day. My usual egg salad is simple: mayonnaise, a squirt of mustard, sweet relish, dill, and S&P. I've had the filling on everything: bread, buns, tortillas--sometimes… Continue reading Cobb Egg Salad
Buffalo Chicken Pepper Sandwiches
I can't remember the last time I had bread. Does naan count as bread? Because I had naan yesterday and was in immediate bliss. I'm not going to count it as bread, though. Sandwiches are one of my most favorite things in the world. Who doesn't love a good grilled cheese? Or a turkey-avocado sandwich?… Continue reading Buffalo Chicken Pepper Sandwiches
