Happy Labor Day! We're slowly, but surely getting settled into our new place in Los Angeles. However now it is time to reminisce about our time in Seattle again... I previously referenced that we hosted a big party with our Seattle friends before we left. We kept calling it a fish bake (thinking along the lines of a New England clambake), but...

I've been dreaming of this sandwich combination for quite some time, and now I have finally bit the bullet and made them. About time! Three delicious components equal one delicious Mexican inspired sandwich. Each component was solid on its own, but put together, they were mind blowing. The spicy chicken is slow cooked in salsa all day, so it...

Apparently, April is National Grilled Cheese Month. I randomly heard (or probably read) that somewhere the other day. I think it's kind of silly how practically every food has it's own month or day, and we mostly definitely didn't plan these sandwiches because of National Grilled Cheese Month. It was just a happy coincidence. We like to...

I love a good soup and sandwich combo. Tomato and grilled cheese is one of my favorites, but tomato soup is best left for when juicy, ripe tomatoes are in season. Instead, I made one of my favorite soups, butternut squash soup, which I thought would pair nicely with a cheddar and havarti panini. It did! I loved dipping my sandwich into my bowl...

Enormous juicy tomatoes from the farmer's market, balsamic onion spread, fresh mozzarella, basil from our garden, topped with a little olive oil and salt, all laid out on crusty bread and placed in the panini press until everything is warm and the cheese is gooey? Yes, please. This might be the best lunch ever. It just tastes like summer with...

Look at that color! These veggies are the beginning of our chicken cheesesteaks paying homage to one of our favorite lunch joints in Houston— Texadelphia. We spent many afternoons hanging out in the Village eating Texas-style cheesesteaks. Dustin is minorly obsessed with the unique mustard sauce Texadelphia serves on the side, so we were super...

Originally I envisioned these scallop BLTs as sliders. The scallops are the perfect size to place on a slider bun, but then I decided to make homemade bread. And there is no better way to take a sandwich over the top than to use homemade bread fresh from your very own oven. Also add avocado. We had an extra one leftover, so this scallop BLT...

I wish I could take credit for this amazing flavor combination, but sadly I cannot. This wonderful recipe comes from How Sweet It Is, and while the thought of chocolate and cheese together might sound off putting to some (i.e. Dustin), I promise it is delicious. Dustin was a convert after we grilled these up on the panini maker. He's beginning...

There is no way I can have leftover Beecher's cheese in the house without making a grilled cheese sandwich. The Beecher's store at Pike's Place Market makes amazing grilled cheese sandwiches, and one week when Dustin and I hit up John Howie Steak for lunch I saw a caramelized onion and Beecher's grilled sandwich on the menu that inspired my...

We love them, but Reuben sandwiches at a deli are expensive. Thankfully we have found a more economical way to get our Reuben fix— make them at home. We bought rye bread from Macrina Bakery, picked up some corned beef from a Stopsky's, aJewish deli (more expensive than from the grocery store, but much more tasty), used the sauerkraut we...
