Green Chile Grilled Cheese Sandwich

by mj on April 27, 2012

My friends and family will all tell you that I’m not big on sandwiches; however, I do like grilled sandwiches. So in honor of National Grilled Cheese month, I’m sharing a Green Chile Grilled Cheese or more appropriately called Green Chile Turkey Enchiladas Grilled Cheese Sandwich, but that name is just a little too long. There’s also a similar sandwich called Albuquerque Turkey – so lots of inspiration for this sandwich!

If you like green chile chicken or turkey enchiladas, then you’ll love this sandwich! It’s made with New Mexico roasted and chopped green chile, avocado, turkey, and of course – cheese. How can you not love that?

Last summer I stopped by a friend’s house to pick some fresh basil (she had tons!), and she served afternoon tea and cucumber sandwiches. The sandwiches weren’t much more than a slice of cucumber on bread, but they were so refreshing and tasty. I had never had a cucumber sandwich before then.

What’s in Your Quesadilla?

by mj on July 16, 2011

In this kitchen we call it a quesadillas anytime we fold one or more ingredients in a flour tortilla or between two corn tortillas, and heat until brown and crispy. Just about anything can be used to make a quesadilla, but more on that later. All in all quesadillas are so quick and easy to throw together making them perfect for a fast breakfast, lunch or supper – for one person, two people, a family or a party. They can actually be somewhat healthy depending on the ingredients you use, or more importantly – the ingredients you leave out.

So what’s in your quesadillas? Please share with us your favorite quesadilla recipe or provide a link to your favorite. Following are two of my old stand-by quesadilla recipes.

Remember Toas-Tite Sandwiches? They’re back!

by mj on June 17, 2011

So who remembers the Toas-Tite sandwich? Who among you grew up eating these little jewels? I did and I still love them. They are so much fun to eat and just as much fun to “assemble” and cook. You can put anything you want in them – which is something my family did quite well. Here are just a few of the concoctions that we created:

Bologna and cheese, salami and cheese, just cheese
Spam and pickles (I liked using sweet pickles)
Scrambled eggs and lots of butter, salt and pepper
Cinnamon, butter and sugar (my all time favorite)
Apple pie – apples, cinnamon, butter, sugar and cheese (another of my favorites)
Any leftovers we could find in the fridge – this is where we were the most creative
