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

Image
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.....

Double Dipped Stroopwafels (Syrup Waffles)

Image
  I couldn't think of a better way to use an old egg carton then to have it hold yummy delicious double dipped stroopwafels. The idea is not really so new. Just a few months ago I saw Kristan from Confessions of a Cookbook Queen do the same thing with graham crackers for a quick holiday treat. The stroopwafel is not really equavalent to a graham cracker though... it is so much better. It's really one of the best cookies to come out of the Netherlands. You can find them everywhere here. Every grocery store carries them in many different price ranges. And there is a difference. That "E" brand that is really cheap - really sucks . The brand from the Lidl is a great price and one of the best tasting ones I've found. They have them made with real butter or with glucose-syrup. I personally like the real butter caramel flavored ones. Yum-yum. A stroopwafel is simply translated as syrup waffle. It's a thin waffle like cookie with syrup in the middle... much be...

Belgian Day - Speculoos Hagel and Stoemp!

Image
You know what? Normally when I think of Belgium - I think of those cute little sea shell chocolates - those are so dang good. I always bring a few boxes of those when I go home to America. Everyone likes those a lot! You are instantly popular and everyone's best friend if you are carrying a box of those. But Belgium is also known for other things - like waffles and Brussels sprouts. And if they aren't known for Speculaas - they should be. Speculaas is a small spice cookie. It's very yummy and often served with coffee, tea or hot chocolate. Lotus is all over it; it's a name brand and they got it made with the Speculaas. Not only do they know how to make a great little cookie. They've turned it into a creamy sandwich spread... and now into a crunchy sandwich sprinkle. I love it. It's brilliant. And you know what - it would work great as any cake or cupcake topper. Forget those disco sprinkles - Lotus Speculoos Hagel is it!   Luckily for living here, I don...
