Blazing Buffalo Chicken Melt

Sooooo this sandwich happened yesterday during my first lunch at home in Florida . . . and it tasted fantastic thanks to Boar’s Head’s Blazing Buffalo Style Roasted Chicken Breast. This chicken is one of my favorite deli meats, and I just so happened to find the perfect toppings to complement the smoky, spicy chicken. Turkey bacon, pepper jack cheese, and Kurtz’s … Continue reading »

I was extra creative with meal packing this week, which means I’ve got a lunchbox twofer for you today with this installment of the (Almost) Grownup Lunchbox Series. First up . . . A Twist on the Traditional Two … Continue reading »

Healthy Monte Cristo Sandwich

If you love french toast, you have to try this sweet but savory sandwich. It’s perfect for brunch, lunch or dinner, and the hot, egg-dipped bread adds that extra something to the plain ham and cheese combo. Even though original monte cristo sandwiches are delicious, I “healthified” the recipe by using whole-wheat bread, adding some broccoli slaw and … Continue reading »

Chipotle Chicken Salad

Warning – this recipe is a HOT one! Actually, this chipotle chicken salad is cold, but the flavors lit my taste buds on fire. After devouring honey roasted chicken salad about a week ago, I realized that Greek yogurt provides an endless number of opportunities for making chicken salad. A craving hit around lunchtime yesterday, but I was too … Continue reading »

My UPF internship – that’s a wrap

I thought I’d share an easy workday lunch sandwich with you considering Tuesday was my last day as an intern for the University Press of Florida. I’m still  in denial about the fact that I won’t walk in late every Tuesday and Thursday at 10:05 a.m. ready to update publication announcement lists, process review copy requests or send about 250 … Continue reading »

Must-have healthy food items

I know it’s only Wednesday, but I can already tell that cooking new recipes is low on my priority list this week.  My schedule is so full that every minute of each day is already planned until Saturday. I like organization and knowing what is next, but the lack of spontaneity is making me feel like a robot. … Continue reading »

Beefy Ranch Pita Pockets

I know what you’re thinking. ¡Ay caramba! Another pita pocket recipe? I’m sorry to overload you with pita recipes, and I promise that this will be the last one for a while. However, I must say that this was my favorite creation thus far. My BFF basically told me that my other pita pocket recipes were a little too … Continue reading »

The Sophisticated Grilled Cheese Sandwich

This isn’t the grilled cheese of your childhood, but I promise that it’s better. This melted favorite isn’t packed with Kraft Singles American cheese or suited to be tomato soup’s soul mate, but I promise that this ooey, gooey creation will find a warm place in both your heart and stomach. Introducing the sophisticated grilled cheese, your new, cultured lunchtime companion! Filled with … Continue reading »

Lusting after beef

After a meatless Friday, I crave protein and red meat like it’s nobody’s business on Saturday. Let’s face it – an active college girl cannot subsist on beans and eggs alone! What satisfies this meat craving? A plump and juicy burger! However, this is no ordinary burger. This is a knife-and-fork fajita burger, and you may as well wrap it up in … Continue reading »
