for the love of mayonnaise a blog about sandwiches.

It’s November. Thanksgiving is next week. When did this happen? So in an effort to hold on to the fall season a little longer since everyone will be in full winter holiday mode immediately following Turkey Day, I give you this. This sandwich is for those of you who enjoy pumpkin, cinnamon, nutmeg, pecans, cloves, [...]

This sandwich is pretty awesome because you can eat it hot or cold. I prefer to not have my avocado or spinach heated, I’m talking about the chicken salad itself. Cook a chicken breast and pull it before it cools and pour over the honey mustard and it is divine. Or let it chill and [...]

If you watch the Food Network or the Cooking Channel you will notice that each week and each day there is a current that runs through every show, no matter how different, in the form of a specific food, ingredient or technique. Whether it is fish sauce or panko bread crumbs, créme fraîche or the [...]

This sandwich is magnificent. If you like salmon, make it. If you don’t like salmon, make it. I made these salmon cakes yesterday and told my husband that if he knew what was good for my waistline he would partake in the consumption of them and his response was that he does not like salmon. [...]

This will be the last of this year’s Thanksgiving leftover sandwiches. I was debating even including this one, but I couldn’t in good conscience not include it seeing as every year I eat one of these nightly until the leftover turkey is gone. It is a simple sandwich but it is delicious for a late [...]

So this sandwich comes from the mind of Diana Gabaldon, one of my favorite authors. A few years ago she posted this leftover Thanksgiving combination, paired with a glass of white wine and I’ve always wanted to try it. The saltiness of the gorgonzola and the sweetness of the pear was fantastic. She does explain [...]

So I’m calling this the ‘classic’ Turkey Day sandwich although I really have no idea if there is such a thing let alone if the contents of what the general public would agree upon as components of the quintessential Thanksgiving sandwich are any of those pictured above. But for the purposes of this blog, and [...]

As promised, here is the the open face shrimp salad melt. It was a pretty easy promise to keep. I jumped out of bed like a kid on christmas and made what is pictured above at 6:30 am. True story. So much for fitting in my bridesmaid dress. Remember this? You made it yesterday and [...]
