April 17, 2020 by Sylvia Rose Leave a Comment

Whipping up a pesto tuna melt makes for a quick and easy lunch. A crusty baguette topped with pesto butter, pesto tuna salad, and melty mozzarella cheese.

PESTO TUNA MELTS: AN EASY LUNCH

Whenever I’m stumped on what to make for lunch, I know my pantry will have the answer.

Classic Croque-Monsieur Sandwich (a next-level ham and cheese melt)

August 27, 2019 by Sylvia Rose Leave a Comment

The classic croque-monsieur is an elevated ham and cheese melt. Think melted gruyère cheese, thick slices of ham, crusty sourdough bread, a hint of dijon mustard, and all of it smothered with a velvety white béchamel sauce. Scrumptious!

I didn’t grow up eating croque-monsieurs. I grew up eating plain old grilled cheese sandwiches with a dollop of Heinz ketchup and tomato soup. I’m not knocking grilled cheese either; I adore grilled cheese sandwiches!

The croque-monsieur is something else though. The first time I had a croque-monsieur, a timeless French sandwich, I was in my second year of university. One of my best friends invited me to her dorm room and made me this sandwich.

“It’s a croque-monsieur,” she explained. A ham and cheese sandwich taken to the next level. If you’re new to this particular breed of sandwich, you’re in for a treat!

MONSTER OATMEAL COOKIE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES

I’ll admit it. It was Little Debbie’s Oatmeal Creme Pies that inspired these. I never buy them because, well, look at the ingredients, but I have fond childhood memories of them. I partially blame the blatant product placement in 1989’s Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. Does anyone recall the scene where they’re feasting on a giant oatmeal creme pie that one of the kids dropped in the backyard? Those treats always haunt me at the store, but I know if I give in, I’ll only be disappointed. Full disclosure: my cookies are nothing like Little Debbie’s, so if that’s what you want, proceed to aisle 5, please.
