Whiskey Cheddar and Pear Grilled Cheese

2012-01-11_PearPanini-250px

Last week I promised you a grilled cheese sandwich… I had to delay it a few days. And, for that, I’m sorry! But, I hope it will be worth the wait! Lately I’ve been on a bit cheese kick.  I think it’s because I got my fill of sweets around the holidays.  It’s hard to…

Kitchen Bootcamp Roundup – Sandwiches

I hope everyone had fun with this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge! I know that sandwiches may not have been the most challenging chapter in The Professional Chef, but I think it’s fun to do something different once in a while! For this month’s challenge, I developed two new sandwiches - Italian Panini with a Sundried Tomato and Olive…

Italian Panini with Tomato Olive Spread

Though it seemed like a great idea at the time, I’m not totally sure why I picked sandwiches for this month’s Kitchen Bootcamp challenge. The thing is, I’m not really a sandwich person. Some people can eat a sandwich for lunch every day, but I’m not one of those people, so it’s been a bit of…

It’s hard to believe it’s Friday already!  I haven’t had a lot of time this week to post to my blog. I’ve been in Boston and haven’t really had time to write or to cook. I’ll be posting more about my trip next week.  In the meantime,  here are a few blog posts from the past week…

Quick Tuna Artichoke Melts

I made these tuna artichoke melts for lunch yesterday. They sort of just came together with ingredients that were already in my pantry.  You can swap whatever bread and cheese you have on hand. Ingredients: 12 ounces (2 – 6 ounce cans) of white tuna in water 14 ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped 2…

Quick Turkey Avocado Paninis

It is a stretch to call this post a recipe… sandwich assembly directions would be more appropriate.  Either way, it’s a quick idea for lunch or dinner when you don’t have a lot of time!  I love the buttery flavor of the avocado in this sandwich, so I didn’t feel that it needed any condiments.  If…
