This Sandwich Will Make Your Day

I think sandwiches are one of the most underrated foods out there. Believe me, I have made my share of sandwiches over the years!

They are totally portable, can be vegan, gluten free, and whatever you love can be added in!

From Peanut butter, banana, and Nutella to a classic twist on a Monte Cristo classic, a great sandwich just makes the day easier to get through!

I love being able to serve up toasted sandwiches as a side to homemade soups. Since I don’t love doing a lot of cooking on Sundays. Don’t judge me! It is my day off too!

Being able to make a great sandwich that is healthy and hearty is perfect.

This is what Renee has to say about this family favorite.

I can’t think of a better “grilled cheese” than this delicious and easy-to-make Monte Cristo Style Grilled Cheese Sandwich. I was first introduced to the Monte Cristo as a kid. This was one of my own mother’s quick, go-to meals when I was growing up, so as you can imagine, it sort of holds a special place in my heart.

Quick Tip: I love using different kinds of bread and think this might be great on a Rosemary garlic french bread. What do you think?

This Italian twist on a classic flavor will knock your socks off!

Boxed Mac and Cheese is quick and cheap. It is something that starving college students have in their pantry next to the top Ramen noodles.

The bright yellow powder you mix into the hot noodles is not what I would call appetizing. You don’t have to settle. Get creative, but use REAL ingredients!

I love homemade baked macaroni and cheese. It goes with so many things and is such a classic! Plus there are so many variations of it!

When we were kids my mom used to make homemade mac and cheese. It was heavenly.  But, sometimes even great things need a bit of refreshing and I think this recipe might just be the make-over I was looking for. Not so much of a change that it feels like a totally different recipe, but enough of a difference that you stop and think, “Whoa, what did I just put in my mouth?

Not so much of a change that it feels like a totally different recipe, but enough of a difference that you stop and think, “Whoa, what did I just put in my mouth?

In fact, the last time I made this I took it a step further and added a fistful of fresh spinach that I cut into thin ribbons, and diced up Italian Squash. What a great way to get in extra nutrition and it really made the dish beautiful.

My daughter makes a recipe like this and the last time she added broccoli and diced ham. Really this can be a one-dish wonder!

As in I Wonder why I didn’t make this sooner!

This is what Amy of The Idea Rome has to say about this family friendly Mac and Cheese.

So cheesy and full of flavor, this is a mac and cheese recipe the whole family will love…especially the adults! It also is a meal that doesn’t take a lot of time to prepare, so you can whip it up on those crazy weeknight evenings.

Quick Tip: Let your kids help pick out their favorite shape of pasta, it might be a spiral or a bow-tie, but if they get to pick it out, chances are they will eat it.

Make it Egg-citing! Make this the night before!

I am not going to say that I spend my nights dreaming of a breakfast casserole that is as delicious as it is easy, but I DO dream of the days when the busy-ness of life doesn’t crowd out creativity.

This is another great casserole I am planning to put in y recipe file to make for the week. Seriously, if you know that your week is hectic, sometimes it is nice to know that breakfast is almost ready. If you divide this into muffin tins or even small loaf pans, you can freeze them for later.

This is what Anna from Garnish with Lemon has to say about this breakfast recipe.

Let’s start with the obvious question: what makes this a fireman’s casserole?
I have no idea.
My mother in law, Cathy, got the recipe from a community cookbook, so maybe we can assume it came from a fireman or fireman’s family? Regardless of its origin, this recipe for Fireman’s Overnight Breakfast Casserole is a delicious, make-ahead option

Quick Tip:  If you like things a bit on the spicier side you can use medium or hot Italian sausage.
