These sandwiches were amazing. The chicken was juicy, tender and so yummy. The sautéed red bell pepper and onion worked deliciously well with the sweet-sour succulent chicken. Need to make these sandwiches again, maybe tomorrow :D

Potato Salami Cake

You will be hooked by this delicious and soufflé-like potato salami cake. Its airy and creamy texture is to die for. Salami adds a layer of deliciousness.

Antipasto #1

Eat heartily, accompanied by much loud Italian conversation. In fact, I typed this accompanied by much loud Italian conversation. My parents were here, and both were shouting instructions over my shoulder. They disagreed about the arrangement of the lettuce - my mother said that the hole in the middle of the platter was necessary; my father insisted that it wasn't, saying you can just dump the tuna on top of the lettuce. I finally had to give up on this reply until they went home. So now, in the peace and quiet of the aftermath, I've finished it. Hope you had a wonderful holiday.

Provolone Oregano Focaccia

Provolone oregano focaccia is a hearty Italian flatbread with whole wheat and semolina flour, garlic-infused olive oil pooled in the dimples, and provolone cubes baked into the dough. Bread-machine-free.

Cheesy Macaroni & Cheese with Spinach & Feta

One of the best homemade mac n' cheese I've ever had. The flavor of the sauce was excellent. Instead of provolone I use asiago cheese. The bits of feta and spinach made for nice variety. Bread crumb topping added another layer of crunchy texture.

Applebee's Baked French Onion Soup

Under the gooey melted provolone of the original version you get from Applebee's is a unique round crouton that's made from bread similar to a hamburger bun. So that's exactly what we use in copycat version of the recipe.

Natalia's Chicken Breasts stuffed with Spinach, Ricotta & Provolone Cheese

A mixture of ricotta cheese, spinach and provolone cheese stuffed inside chicken breast and topped with a rich tomato sauce. Got this recipe from a friend in Wisconsin where provolone cheese is very popular. If you don't have the provolone feel free to substitute mozzarella for equally outstanding results.
