Thanksgiving Leftover Sandwich
by TT Jr. November 28th, 2012 | Recipes, Sandwiches
I thoroughly enjoy Thanksgiving. It is a holiday dedicated to just giving back. A time when the whole family can get together and celebrate without expecting to receive anything but food and love. It is the one holiday that brings everyone together. It doesn't matter if you rarely see each other, the whole family still gets together and eats a home cooked meal without caring about who can give the best presents. The other great thing is how much food there is leftover. Nobody ever knows what to do with it, but my favorite thing is to make sandwiches.
Chicken Cordon Bleu Burgers

With the arrival of beautiful weather comes the start of grilling season. We enjoy grilling all sorts of things, including burgers. And while you can't go wrong with a perfectly cooked burger topped with your favorite condiments, it is fun to think outside the box sometimes.
So, last week I decided that we would have burgers, just not the sort made with beef; that seemed too mundane. I wanted a sandwich that looked like a burger but had its own unique taste. Ground chicken seemed like the perfect vehicle for this quest. Unlike ground veal or pork, which some might confuse

Summer in a Wrap

It's cold.
Does that summarize winter in New England well enough? I could write a lengthy paragraph about all of the annoying parts of winter here, but there's really no need to exert that much effort. I think my simple sentence conveys my thoughts well enough.
Most nights I try to erase the chilliness of winter with hot meals that consist of soups that have simmered on the stove all afternoon or a roast that braised in the oven all day long. However, sometimes I take a different approach to try and make the season of ice and snow disappear-- a little

Tropical Wrap

As I mentioned recently, braised meats tend to be a fairly common dinner item in our house as of late. However, that doesn't mean that there are leftovers, which is unfortunate. I thoroughly enjoy having wraps for lunch and find that leftover braised chicken or beef makes a great starting point for a wrap.
Last week, we had Pulled Coconut Chicken for dinner, and even with eight of us dining, we had a decent amount left. With coconut chicken in mind, I headed to the grocery store to find other fillings for my wrap. To compliment the coconut flavor, I

Apple & Cheddar Melt
by TT September 7th, 2009 | Recipes, Sandwiches
The kids have returned to school, and summer is nearing its end, which means that apple season has arrived in New England. Although apples are readily available all year long, none are as tasty as an apple that is eaten the same day that it is picked.
Of course, we eat apples right off the tree, but we enjoy finding new ways to serve them. I have used apples for salsa, pies, wraps, and crisps. The other week I decided to use the first apples of the season in an open-faced melt.
This sandwich had multiple inspirations. First, Paula Red
