This is one of my favorite homemade tomato soup recipes. The roasted red peppers, tomatoes and fresh basil are a natural combination. Plus, it’s super easy to make and is great with grilled cheese or panini sandwiches. Yum! After the soup has simmered, puree it in batches in a blender. Blender Tip: If the soup is • Read More »

Roast Turkey Panini with Pesto, Roasted Red Peppers and Fontina

December 11, 2011 | By andrea | 2 Comments | Filed in: Quick Cooking, Recipes, Sandwich, Thanksgiving, Turkey.

This delicious sandwich is a great way to use up leftover roast turkey or chicken. I loved the melty fontina cheese, the slightly sweet roasted red peppers, and the pop of  fresh flavor from the pesto. This sandwich is worth roasting a turkey (or chicken) for! If you can’t find fontina, substitute another mild cheese • Read More »

Broiled Chicken Thighs with Chipotle Sauce

February 16, 2011 | By andrea | Comments Off on Broiled Chicken Thighs with Chipotle Sauce | Filed in: Chicken, Main Dish, Mexican, Quick Cooking, Recipes, Southwestern.

I love a meal that delivers bold flavors without much work! This Mexican-inspired recipe is just that kind of dish: flavorful spice-rubbed chicken thighs served with a chipotle-spiked, garlicky roasted red pepper sauce. Delish! I didn’t have ground chipotle chile (available in the spice aisle) so I substituted about 1/2 teaspoon of chopped canned chipotle chile (in adobo sauce) • Read More »

I make paninis all the time now that I have an electric panini grill. Even though they’re really just a glorified grilled cheese sandwich, I get raves every time I make them for family and friends. This particular recipe is a good example of simple ingredients that yield tasty results: turkey breast, roasted red peppers, melty cheese, • Read More »

Grilled Swiss Cheese, Tuna and Red Pepper Sandwiches

March 11, 2010 | By andrea | 1 Comment | Filed in: Quick Cooking, Recipes, Sandwich, Seafood.

This delicious sandwich is basically a fancy tuna melt. The addition of roasted red peppers, red onions and a little fresh lemon juice all piled inside a grilled Italian roll makes for an exciting variation on a lunch-time classic. The recipe calls for tuna packed in olive oil, a more flavorful variety than water-packed tuna.   Since • Read More »

February 9, 2010 | By andrea | Comments Off on Steak Sandwich with Chimichurri Mayo | Filed in: Beef, Recipes, Sandwich.

Here’s a hearty sandwich that will make a meat-lover happy! However, my favorite part was the Chimichurri Mayo, a delicious combination of chopped parsley, red onion, garlic, red wine vinegar and mayonnaise. Yumm! I pretty much followed the recipe except for substituting red onions for the shallot in the chimi mayo. To slice the cooked steak, • Read More »

Salami, Fontina and Roasted Bell Pepper Panini

May 11, 2009 | By andrea | Comments Off on Salami, Fontina and Roasted Bell Pepper Panini | Filed in: Quick Cooking, Recipes, Sandwich.

I made this panini for lunch recently. Basically, a panini is just a glorified grilled cheese sandwich filled with any combination of cheeses, meats, and/or vegetables…crunchy on the outside, oozing with melted cheese on the inside. Yumm! Paninis are usually made with a panini press (electric or stove-top) but I say you can still make these • Read More »
