Happy Mother's Day to all mothers. The weather has been incredible here in Calgary. We've had a beautiful and warm day for Mother's day. On such gorgeous day I don't always feel like cooking, so most of the times I turn to sandwiches. Here's a sandwich recipe, if you want to call it that, that is super healthy. It's full of flavor and it looks great too. It's like a salad on a sandwich. :) Literally! I made ...

So it's April, it's almost Easter, it is officially spring. Not in Calgary. It is snowing heavy out there as I am typing this post and I am not happy about it. It looks like December out there, but thankfully I am off for the rest of the week and I don't have to go out there. Even Mia (my beagle) would not want to step out there. She'd rather stay inside and watch TV. With me. :) I've probably mentioned thi ...

If you like hot and spicy foods, then this buffalo chicken and grilled cheese sandwich is for you. Although it may not look very spicy, trust me when I say it was. Regardless, this sandwich is incredible! It is so much better than a regular chicken salad sandwich, there is so much more flavor in it. They were so good, my husband said they were the best sandwiches he ever ate.  Well it's not that hard to ach ...

Let's face it! Is there a better sandwich out there than a BLT? OK, maybe there is, but for those of you who have never had a BLT, it stands for bacon, lettuce and tomato. 3 simple ingredients that when paired together in a sandwich make for an incredible marriage. There could be many variations of the BLT, as I chose to do so here, I made an avocado BLT, but the main ingredients for a BLT sandwich are baco ...

I came home from work tonight, only to be surprised by my husband with dinner. I love it when he does this. Honestly I don't care what he makes, just the fact that he makes dinner is more than enough for me. Tonight he surprised me with this wonderful tuna salad with pecans and raisins. He made a couple sandwiches with it and I gobbled it up, it was so delicious. I wish there would be left overs so I can ta ...

I've started weight watchers recently for the obvious reason, to lose a few pounds. Now it's always hard at first because you never know what to eat. I want to prove that you can cook delicious meals while on weight watchers and still lose weight. I'm not trying to prove this to anyone else except myself. To start this off, I thought I'd prepare these delicious barbecued pork sandwiches, and if you too are ...

Do you ever not feel like cooking? Of course you do and that was me today. It's Monday, last day of the long weekend, and all I want to do is relax before another stressful week at work. I'm starting a new project and it's going to be crazy and hectic from now until Christmas. But when I'm home I try not to think about work or bring my work home, which sometimes can be a challenge. I wanted something quick ...

Pizza has become a staple at my house on the weekend. However, we're starting the get a bit bored with it, so this weekend we decided to try a calzone. Calzones are really just Italian sandwiches traditionally stuffed with mozzarella and tomatoes and made from pizza dough. They make for great street food because they are easy to eat on the street while standing or walking. I suppose a calzone is similar to ...

You know how when you come home from work you're not always in the mood for cooking because you're exhausted? Well today I felt like that. I simply don't want to be in the kitchen for long. I want to have a quick dinner with my husband and then just relax. All I can say is TGIF! So I had a brilliant idea, if I do say so myself. I said to myself, how about some grilled golden Gruyere and prosciutto tortillas ...

I just love sandwiches like this. I've had a jar of roasted red peppers in the fridge for a few days now and I've been trying to figure out what to do with it. This was a wonderful idea, these melts with roasted red peppers and caramelized onions with bacon and asiago cheese was to die for. Absolutely delicious, and what a wonderful lunch idea. It was super quick and very filling. Preheat oven to 450 F degr ...

I call this egg salad sandwich healthy because it uses very little mayonnaise, so it's a great lunch idea, super easy to make and it's delicious.  If you are watching your cholesterol, feel free to reduce the egg yolks and add additional egg whites.  Here are the ingredients you'll need to make 2 sandwiches, just double the recipe if you need to make 4: [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:22] Enjoy!   ...

One of my favorite sandwiches is a good club sandwich.  It's so filling, and delicious, yes bacon does make everything better.  You really haven't had a turkey club sandwich until you've had one with leftover turkey, instead of the processed turkey.  This is another great lunch idea, that's quick, delicious and super fun to make.  Why spend lots of money at a restaurant for these club sandwiches when you ca ...

Here's another wonderful lunch idea, a panini.  Who doesn't love a good panini, and you don't need a panini grill to make one, you can just grill it in a skillet.  Panini sandwiches are really just glorified grilled cheese sandwich, but packed with a lot more flavor and goodness. Really, you can put anything you like in these sandwiches, and most of the time I just put whatever I have in the fridge.  I've m ...

One of my favorite quick lunches is a good old bagel sandwich.  I live close to work, so sometimes I come home for lunch, and the easiest thing to make is a nice toasted bagel sandwich with lots of veggies.  It's super quick, healthy and just super delicious. [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:85] Simple, and you've got yourself an awesome and healthy lunch.  If you've got leftovers, such as tomatoes or lettuce, put them ...
