Cubano Sandwich

I had one very thick leftover pork chop that inspired me to make a Cubano Sandwich. I sliced that pork chop into really thin slices for the occasion. I also happened to have some ham from a spiral sliced ham that I had gotten for .99/lb. It seemed that the stars had aligned for the […]

Fried Egg Sandwich

A supermarket in Houston, Central Market, has a sandwich counter where customers can build a custom sandwich. With a variety of bread, meats, cheeses, vegetables, condiments and whatever else they offer at the time., no two sandwiches are alike. The combinations are endless!

Not ‘Ya Mama’s Leftover Meatloaf Sandwich

Sloppy Taco Joes

Where did the Sloppy Joe come from? I get the “sloppy” part, but not the Joe part. As it turns out, a person named Joe invented the sandwich in a small cafe in Sioux City, Iowa. Not much else to that story. This recipe gives a twist and a turn to the Sloppy Joe. Ingredients […]

Stuffed Pecan Burgers

Chicken Salad

Chicken salad recipes are probably a lot like gumbo recipes: there are as many different recipes as stars in the sky. Everyone has a different take on what to put in their chicken salad. Mine is quite simple but very tasty. This chicken salad is over the top when it is sandwiched between a buttery, […]

Refrigerator Pickle Mix

My son LOVES a good sandwich! He especially loves hot sandwiches. He was a very picky eater growing up, but as he entered into his high school years, his tastebuds must have gotten bored because he all of a sudden opened his mind to new flavors and textures. Now that he is in his college […]
