The great sandwich for dinner debate 🤨


Hey friends❣️

It's only been super recently that my husband Grant came around to the idea that a sandwich could be dinner. I'm so glad, because where I come from a sandwich is an ideal dinner, especially as summer winds down.

I'll start with my latest, which may not appeal to all of you, but if you know, you definitely know.

And then I'll share a few favorites that might touch off the age old question, what counts as a sandwich, anyway? Is an open faced sandwich really a sandwich? What about a hot dog? A veggie burger? Or a taco??

(You can check out all my burgers and sandwiches, here.)

Smoked Trout Salad Sandwich

Stop scrolling for one second and let me tell you that if you haven't experienced smoked fish you are definitely missing out. My husband said this is the best sandwich he's ever had. I agree.

One Banana Banana Bread

"My family always brings this recipe up when we talk about banana bread – definitely a favorite!! I’ve used it for around 10 years now 🙂"

My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun.

Lemony shrimp and beans

Hey friends❣️ I get recipe ideas from all sorts of sources...friends, restaurants, old magazines...but surprisingly, not so much from cookbooks anymore. I have a library full of them, but I don’t seem to reach for them as often as I used to. One source of continual inspiration has been The New York Times. Their food style really resonates with me, probably because I was born and raised there, and I think our food DNA gets set pretty early. New York is definitely in mine. Today’s shrimp and...

Green tahini sauce

Hey friends❣️ Happy Sunday! It happens at the end of every season, I start pumping out all the recipes that you neeeeeed to see before the big change comes and it's too late. It's hardest in summer, when peak tomatoes meet a wall of Halloween candy and all bets are off. But green tahini is actually a pretty perfect transition recipe.
