Mmm, sandwiches!


Well, now that I have a little more time on my hands, hopefully I can cook and write a little more!

My sister works at Panera and gets an amazing discount. Great news for carb fiends like me, so whenever I'm near her store and she's at work, I try to stop by and grab a little something.

Tuesday, I picked up a loaf of tomato basil bread. It's got cinnamon on the top crust, and I'm not sure how I feel about that. It's just so trendy lately to put cinnamon in everything, and... truth is, I'm not crazy about the cinnamon love. I think it works, but the grilled sandwich I made last night tasted a little too much like French toast at the top.

Still, they were delicious. I'm at work right now, absolutely starving and craving about six more sandwiches.

Ingredients
  • 4 slices of tomato basil bread
  • 1 small tomato, sliced
  • mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 3-4 basil leaves, chopped
  • black pepper
  • 1/2 small onion, sliced
Directions
  1. Oh, for [stuff]'s sake, you know how to make a grilled cheese sandwich.

Wrap!

Ouch! Has it really been two weeks? Man. I feel like I almost never get to do anything because I feel like it anymore.

Well, that's not completely true. I did get to go hang out with The Mr. and his friend a couple weekends ago. 'Course, he lives way out in BFE, so we had to go down to Fredericksburg to get food (and it wasn't even good food, it was Tex-Mex with extra Tex).

I'm also on another eat-less-food kick, which sucks because I really like food. I like food a lot. But I've refused to get married if I weigh more than 120 pounds on my wedding day, so I have a year to lose mumbly-mumble pounds. And since I'm one of those women that just can't eat much, I'm constantly hungry (and, as a result, bitchy).

My dinner of choice for the past two nights? A very simple wrap:

Ingredients:
  • 1 tomato-basil tortilla
  • 2 tablespoons of hummus (I used sun-dried tomato and basil)
  • 2 romaine leaves
  • 2-3 tomato slices
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:
  1. Spread the hummus in the center of the tortilla.
  2. Add the romaine leaves, then the tomato slices.
  3. Grind some pepper over the tomato.
  4. Wrap! Eat!
