my take on his favorite sandwich

she sure knows how to please him with this oh-so-scrumptious sandwich. i'll tell you what, it made my guy happy and i'm sure it'll make yours, too. this is my take on it (at least last night's version)...

1 large sweet onion, cut into strips
1/2 green bell pepper, cut into strips
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into strips
3 left-over steaks (whatever kind you have), cut into strips
1/2 cup worcestershire sauce
tabasco, as much as you like
butter
buns
cheese (swiss, mozzarella, cheddar or pepper jack), sliced

melt a few tablespoons of butter in a skillet over med-high heat. add onions and bell peppers when hot. let cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes. be sure not to burn them! turn the heat down to med-low. add steak, worcestershire and tabasco. put a lid on it and let warm for however long you need to fix the buns. for the buns: heat a few tablespoons of butter on a griddle. turn buns over on the griddle and cook until just golden brown. turn and brown the other side. remove from heat and top it with meat/onion/pepper mixture and cheese. eat and watch him smile.

heart cookies

got this recipe from martha for valentine's day.  it is a mix between an oatmeal cookie and a shortbread cookie and oh so yummy.  i'll be taking these to a preschool party and around to some of my friends tomorrow.  they are reminiscent of graham crackers and chocolate frosting, which my husband and kids love, so i'm hoping they enjoy these.  the dough turned out be a bit different than the recipe claims, but i made it work.  i've changed the recipe only slightly-i dipped the hearts in melted chocolate chips rather than sandwiching nutella between two cookies.   one great tip on melting chocolate is do it in the microwave!  it's so easy and you don't have to worry about a double-boiler and all that clean up.  ina garten, the barefoot contessa and one of my cooking idols, gives a great explanation on how to do it here .  i'm sure the nutella way would be good, too.  it's just not something i regularly have in my pantry, for good reason. 

hash brown quiche

sorry i've been m.i.a. for a while.  i haven't really been m.i.a.  i just moved across the country in the middle of the first trimester of my third pregnancy and i've been a little wonky the past few months.  (ask my husband)  while in the throngs of packing up our house full of junk, er... things, i just couldn't keep up with all my responsibilities, so the blog had to go...temporarily.  plus, i mean really, along with all the yucks of those first few months like feeling like your stomach is turning inside out and you can barely keep control of your balance and you don't even want to think about food, i had a strange aversion to all things cyberspace.  even the thought of facebook or checking my email or this blog sent me into a spin of nausea.  strange, i know.  i can't really explain it.  i do have a friend who said when she was pregnant she had a strange aversion to certain people.  anytime she saw someone in particular, it would make her si

pear salad with lemon-garlic vinaigrette

i have a friend who served me this salad.  it was love at first taste.  i think i could spend the rest of my life with that dressing.  i found myself wanting to eat it so often, i had to find something else to pair it with (just plain drinking it was not an option, although, it did cross my mind.)  it actually happened by accident.  i added pears to my salad one day and loved it so much, the next day i decided to leave out the lettuce/spinach altogether.  the result:  a fantastic and easy salad that just may make your lips pucker up and make your heart skip a beat. 2 fresh pears, peel on and diced grated parmesan, or any other sharp cheese almonds, chopped or slivered (the original recipe calls for crumbled bacon, which would be fantastic even in this salad!) lemon-garlic vinaigrette juice of one lemon small clove of garlic, minced 2/3 cup canola oil salt and pepper to taste combine in a jar and shake to emulsify (or you can whisk in the canola oil to emulsify.
