Homemade Aioli, and Grilled Chicken Sammiches as a Result
| August 9, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under MEAT, Recipe, Sandwiches |
Because I really needed to know how to make my own mayonnaise. Surprisingly enough, it’s super easy to whisk up a homemade aioli with things you likely have on hand. I always thought that making an emulsified sauce like mayonnaise/aioli would be as temperamental as French sauces are rumored to be, along the lines of finicky hollandaise or as…
Salsa Verde Turkey Burgers
| July 25, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Grilling, Main Course, MEAT, Recipe, Sandwiches |
Turkey burgers are grody. There’s just no other word to describe them. But when I say that, know that I only mean most turkey burgers. I mean those that people make by simply substituting turkey for beef without making any other changes to their burger recipe. Which just doesn’t make sense. Would you cook a…
Pulled Barbecue Chicken
| January 18, 2011 | Posted by Cheeks under Freezer food, Main Course, Make-ahead, MEAT, Recipe, Sandwiches |
Winter is upon us in Chicago, although the recent 50 degree day that melted all our snow may argue otherwise. The holidays are over, meaning the bright, blinking lights are coming down, leaving a lot of cold dreariness in their place. So, naturally, I want to envelop myself in a blanket, settle in front of…
Leftover Do-Over; Or, how to stop worrying and love the bad recipe
| December 16, 2010 | Posted by Cheeks under Leftovers, Recipe, Sandwiches |
So, in the sake of ease and simplicity, I made a recipe I had doubts about for dinner the other night. And, lo and behold, the resulting dinner turned out … not good. Chicken and potatoes sauteed in a spiced tomato sauce with spinach, it wasn’t the worst thing I’d ever made … but it…
Snappy Joe, or Sucio Lucio?
| December 8, 2010 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, MEAT, Recipe, Sandwiches |
I’m starting to like the Sucio Lucio Snappy Joe, originally a recipe from mommie. I LOVE the sandwiches, but yeah, the name of this easy-peas dish is the dumbest thing ever. I’m sure it comes from a cutesy women’s magazine trying to cover up a fairly bland, “healthy” makeover of boring sloppy joes with a…
Cranberry-Orange Compote & Ultimate Thanksgiving Sandwiches
| December 1, 2010 | Posted by Cheeks under Leftovers, Recipe, Sandwiches |
The Ultimate Thanksgiving Leftover Sandwich, version one. Honestly, I cannot take credit for this genius sandwich. It was sourced on a Silver Cloud sammich sissy and I shared a few weeks back, when our eager tummies sought a taste of the rapidly approaching thanksgiving holiday. Served on white bread with canned, jellied cranberries and Stove…
A. G. Ferrari’s Deli in San Francisco
| October 28, 2010 | Posted by Cheeks under Eating out, Sandwiches |
Across the street from this little hotel is a small Italian specialty food store and deli. It looks like a nice, new little place. A quick Google search reveals that it’s a mid-size California chain, although it doesn’t feel much like a chain when you walk in. It carries Italian candies, wines, imported pastas, and olive oils,…
Turkey Burgers with Creamy Romaine Slaw
| October 14, 2010 | Posted by Cheeks under Grilling, Main Course, Recipe, Sandwiches |
Is there anything so great as a burger? Besides sandwiches…. Behold: a burger. No, people, there is not. Let my un-highbrow food preferences be known—there is no more perfect food than a cheeseburger. It is my favorite food, although my arterial walls may wish it otherwise. An American icon, the hamburger evokes childhood memories and…
Wherein the Metaphysical Sandwich is Realized.
| October 12, 2010 | Posted by Cheeks under Main Course, Recipe, Sandwiches |
What is there to say about a chicken sandwich? It’s good. A. It’s a sandwich. B. There’s chicken in it. A sandwich isn’t something that needs a recipe, friends. Granted, I’ve seen–and tried–more than my fair share of sandwich “recipes.” But as a convenience food, and a regular, beloved staple of my diet, anybody can…
We all live in a turkey submarine
| September 17, 2010 | Posted by Cheeks under Recipe, Sandwiches |
As I verified today, a small slice makes a perfect breakfast. My mom deserves all the credit for this post. When we go to a tailgate or picnic or cottage on Lake Michigan, she’ll often make one of these great big submarine sandwiches. Made on a large loaf of French or Italian bread, they sit in the fridge…
