Prosciutto, Pear and Aged Goat Grilled Cheese

Friday evening, Kylie and I were at Trader Joe’s to pick up a few items and they were sampling a grilled cheese sandwich with their aged goat cheese and prosciutto. I knew I had to make this … because it tasted to so good. I also knew I had to make it my own some…

Grilled Cheese with Heirloom Tomatoes

Some nights you want to make something simple for dinner that doesn’t take much thought. Tonight was that night for me … however, I did put thought into it – I’d planned on making grilled cheese since Saturday when I did my grocery shopping.

Ciabatta Rosemary, Turkey and Havarti Sandwich

Football season is upon us! I love fall for so many reasons, but having football playing in the background, even if I’m not able to watch for some reason, is one of them. Today is the draft for Fantasy Football. We are playing in our family fantasy football league, where my team name is Julia…

Sophisticated BLT

Sloppy Joe’s

I decided to make something I haven’t made in quite a while and probably only make about once a year. I don’t know why I don’t make sloppy joe’s more often – they are so tasty and are always a hit with my family. It is a simple dinner, not a big production, so perfect…
