Grilled Chicken Pita Sandwich With Tomato Salad And Spicy Yogurt Sauce

I look at the local newspaper from my hometown Bergen, Norway almost daily.

Turkey Burgers

These are the best turkey burgers that I have tasted!

Pecan Chicken And Bacon Sandwich

As I was going through my my ever growing recipe pile sitting on my desk, I found  this recipe that I had torn out from our local newspaper quite a while ago.

Mu Shu Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I love lettuce wraps and I should make them more often than I actually do.

Hamburger Buns

I did a lot of cooking over the week end. And I think I am back in the game after a period of feeling unmotivated and uninspired in the kitchen.

Black Bean Burgers

Making Black bean burgers from scratch was a first for me and it is definitely not the last.

Turkey, Caramelized onion, Roasted Pepper and Provolone Naan Panini

This is my all time favorite lunch, a Naan Panini filled with caramelized onions and Roasted red peppers.

Slow-cooker Barbecue Pulled Pork Sandwiches

This week I want to share some really good slow-cooker recipes. This is a new cooking method for me since I just recently purchased one.Slow-cookers (or Crock pots as they are commonly called) have been around for decades and many of my friends tell me they own one but never use it. Well, lately it seems the slow-cooker is experiencing somewhat of a revival. There are many new beautiful slow-cooker cookbooks out there and every major food magazine have run features on slow-cooking and offer many wonderful recipes.

Grilled Cheese and Fried Egg sandwiches

This is not your average Grilled cheese sandwich! It is hands down the best one I have ever had! I haven't made anything really extraordinary lately (therefor the absence of postings last week), but I am really excited to share this recipe idea with you.

Grilled chicken fajitas with peppers and onions

This is my favorite Fajita recipe. It is from my trusted New Basics Cookbook. Many years ago some friends made these and I was hooked! It has become a favorite summer meal. They do take a little bit of time and planning ahead of dinner time, but the result is incredibly moist and great tasting chicken and vegetables.

Make-your- own sandwich buffet



When you cook for a relatively large family every day of the week like I do, you have to be creative. I don't always feel like cooking up a storm, but I still want us to have a nice meal together. Last nights dinner is a great example. I had a busy day and since it was our first real spring day, I didn't feel like spending all afternoon in my kitchen (I also had just cleaned it up so nicely, and I just wanted to savour the cleanliness for just a little while.). So, I decided on something simple that required very little preparation, a make-your-own-sandwich buffet.

My favorite toasted sub sandwich

This weekend I made these tasty sub sandwiches for lunch and I just love them so much I wanted to share them with you all.

Skillet sloppy beef sandwiches



Sloppy Jo's is a very common weeknight dinner here in the US. I call it "Sloppy mess" !

Make ahead, serve fast!

Wednesdays are always hectic. I volunteer in the kitchen at Meals on Wheels in the morning and I work at Cooks  in the afternoon. I usually make it home just at 6 o'clock.
