February - Sandwich Month

I declared February sandwich month - because I do all the cooking in my house and I can do that. This year only, we will be featuring sandwiches, burgers, etc - on the menu in our house.

Philly Cheese Steak

When I told my husband he was a little disappointed - because naturally when some of us think of a sandwich we think of peanut butter and jam. But I listed a few of the sandwich offerings to come and then he was okay with it.

 Here are a few of the sandwiches we've had thus far:

 Burger King style crispy chicken sandwich (much cheaper to make at home)
Turkey cranberry croissant (recipe below)
BBQ Ham sandwiches (they looked a lot like Arby's roast beef sandwiches)
Philly Cheese steak (our Valentine's dinner)
Moons over Mihammy sandwich (a copycat version like the one from Denny's restaurant)
BLT with avocado and cheese
Fried egg, bacon, avocado and cream cheese sandwich (yummy - my breakfasts on many occasions)

 And here are a few of the sandwiches to come:

 French Dip au jus
all-American Bacon cheeseburgers
Grilled pineapple teriyaki burgers
Jibarito (wheat free)
Meatloaf sandwiches
Gyros and ajvar (b/c pita pockets still count as sandwiches)
Stuffed French Toast
Roasted Eggplant and Red Pepper Panini
Muffaletta (maybe?)
Falafel
Ham, turkey, bacon subway style sandwiches :)

BBQ Ham sandwich, spinach salad, chips, melon
Crispy chicken sandwich and home made french fries
Bacon, Avocado, Fried Egg and cream cheese* croissant

Turkey Cranberry Croissant
recipe from Great American Favorite Brand Name Cook Book aka "the big red cook book"

 Thin sliced cooked turkey (450g)
1 package (8oz) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup orange marmalade
1/2 cup chopped pecans
6 croissants or rolls
3/4 cup whole berry cranberry sauce
Lettuce leaves

 Combine cream cheese, marmalade, and pecans in a small bowl. Spread top and bottom halves of croissants with cream cheese mixture. Layer turkey on bottom halves. Spoon two tablespoons cranberry sauce over turkey. Add lettuce and croissant tops. Yeild: 6 sandwiches.

The actual cream cheese mixture I found a bit on the bitter side. Maybe my marmalade was just too bitter. So I added lots of finely chopped pineapple to sweeten it and I used almonds in place of pecans because that's what I had. And then I added about a tablespoons finely chopped green onion just to liven it up a bit. And then it was really yummy. And there was a lot of leftover cream cheese mixture and that is what I used on my fried egg, bacon and avocado sandwiches for breakfast and it tasted amazing!!!

 Anyway, I'd be interested in knowing some of your favorite sandwiches offerings are? List them in the comments section below. Thanks :)

The cook book for your toddler - Het kookboek voor je peuter

So, I've been going through this little cook book I got from the baby clinic - the book is made by Kinderen - it's a monthly magazine for mothers and expecting mothers - and it's a great little book. see bol.com Here are just a few of the recipes I've tried: Pippi's pannenkoekentaart That was good - I gave it a 4 star **** - easy to make and everyone enjoyed it. Dessert for dinner is good anytime :) I put sliced apples in almost every pancake - which is why it leans so much. It was very filling - and very yummy. Up next: Een echt indiaantje Good 4 stars **** - another easy meal, presented in such a way that the kids got excited... Kailea, my 5 year old, is normally very picky about green food - she ate it up :) We served it with simple gravy. Ella - liked the patty, but tossed the sugar snaps aside - oh well, can't please everyone - but I try. Kailea poses for me. Dad's angry man... even big kids play with their food ! And..

The BEST REAL Peanut Butter Cookies

Image
Gooey in the middle and crispy on the outside, just the way a cookie should be! I discovered this recipe some years ago. I used to bake it nearly every month, that's how good it is. I've tried many, many peanut butter cookie recipes and this is the best by far! You don't really need to add chocolate chips... but I just happen to get a bag full of goodies from a lady who bought all these baking supplies - American style baking supplies - from the BX, and the stuff she didn't use up before she moved back to the U.S. - was gifted to me. So the best way to show my gratitude - was to use it up! There was a half open bag of white chocolate chips and a half open bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips... Did I mention... I love this recipe for peanut butter cookies and I threw in the chocolate chips as well. It was very yummy. This recipe is originally vegan believe it or not. You don't really need eggs in most baked goods anyway. But then I went and poured in all t

Baby Name: Kenobi (boy)

Image
So, I'm pregnant, I think I've already announced that somewhere... but anyway, it's a boy! My first one. I already have three girls. I thought for sure it would be another girl but then this pregnancy was very different. For one, I didn't have the same disdain for garlic and onions that I did with the other pregnancies... and two, I have more hair growing on my legs... it completely stopped growing for 9 months with the girls. That's a bonus to having girls... but the bonus for having a boy is I can still eat whatever I want and not feel sick. It's kind of a disadvantage though - because then I really have to monitor myself - so I don't get too fat. Why is choosing a baby name so difficult? Well, we've come up with quite a long list of names, the problem is - we don't agree on each other's name choices. My man loves one name, I love another. We even put up a poll on babynames.com to let all our friends and family and associates vote on the n
