This is so incredibly easy to make and is unbelievably delicious. Try this if you have the book and put it on the burger […]

Egg Salad Sandwiches – 4.7 stars
Page 93 Originally posted 3/24/2019 The last one in the “Lunch” section is complete! This is crazy good. My egg salad is really bland compared to this so I can never go back. Recommend making a double batch so you have enough for a couple of lunches. Bonus – I finally cracked the code for […]
Curry Chicken Salad – 4.3 stars
Page 79 Originally posted 3/16/2019 If you know me, you know I only eat curry when celebrating Diwali with Darpan Gokharu and she directs me to the less spicy stuff at the Bollywood Grill buffet. So for me to give this a score over 4 is saying something. The flavor is not too much spice, […]
Bacon-Tomato Sweet Drip Jam – 3.5 stars
Page 82 Originally posted 1/30/2019 Bacon-Tomato Sweet Drip Jam – 2.75 Alright, this is sooooo hard for me to type … this was a big disappointment. I was ready to love this and eat it on burgers and grits and oh so many things. But, alas, the texture of the pork belly ruins it. Why?!!!!! […]
Gaines Brother Burgers – 4.4 stars
Page 81 Originally posted 3/21/2019 With Drip Jam – 4.9 stars Full disclosure – I thought I had the arugula lettuce but didn’t and needed to do this tonight so went without it. I doubt having greens would change my opinion much on the score of the standalone burger. The garlic toasted bun and Gruyere […]
Flatbread Pizza with Prosciutto & Potatoes – 3.4 stars
Page 87 Originally posted 3/3/2019 The sauce is tasty but not one of those, “OMG” things, and the potatoes are just a bit too much starch. On a positive note, first time I have had a crumbled stinky cheese (Gorgonzola) that I don’t hate.
Chicken Salad Croissant Sandwiches – 4.65 stars
Page 84 Originally posted 2/18/2019 Uses the Poached Chicken The sandwiches are interesting as I do not usually put grapes in anything other than jelly or my mouth. This is a yummy chicken salad. I prefer walnuts and cranberries, but this is good, a bit of a change from what we normally have but still […]
Poached chicken Breasts – 3.5 stars
Page 85 Originally posted 2/18/2019 Poached chicken, what can you say? They taste like poached chicken.
1919 Pimento Cheese – 4.85 stars
Page 89 Originally posted 2/3/2019 Mark gives it a 4.9 Yet another one that Mark loves. This is really easy and really good. I am going to make a grilled Pimiento cheese sandwich for lunch tomorrow out of this and may not make any afternoon meetings due to food coma. I made a half batch […]
Easy Herb Mayo – 4.8 stars
Page 77 Originally posted January 2019 Used on the BLTs O.M.G. If you thought BLTs could not get any better, you were wrong. New weekend game plan: make extra bacon for breakfast and use it in sandwiches at lunch. Because who doesn’t love having bacon twice in one day?! The mayo is the kicker here. […]
Sweet Pepper and Pancetta Frittata – 4.25 stars
Page 95 Originally posted January 2019 Mmmmmmm. Wonderful start to a cold, cold morning. Delicious and an interesting flavor combination. The peppers are cut a bit bigger than usual for a dice, but it works because they end up soft enough that you don’t get too much in a bite if you don’t want to. […]

Grilled Havarti, Tomato, & Basil Sandwich – 3.5 stars
Page 91 Originally posted 1/20/2019 Dipped in Balsamic Vinegar – 4.5 stars The plain sandwich is a cross between a grilled cheese and a flat tasting Bruschetta – good, but nothing to write home about. Add the Balsamic and it is freakin’ awesome! Note – it is not as easy as it looks to stack […]
