Matzo sandwich.

I managed to not only make a turkey & tomato sandwich on a matzo, spread with mayo and dijon mustard, but also to cut it in half without the matzo breaking. I felt this was remarkable. Of course, it took like five minutes with a heavily serrated knife, but still.

Pasta salad.

Rotini, chopped chicken, green bell peppers, cucumber, tomato, crumbled feta and a quick garlic vinaigrette. I love this kind of dish, so quick and light but so so delish.

Creamy tomato curry.

Tomato curry with chicken chunks on a bed of rice, oh man. Served with hot buttered garlic naan, oh man. And also tossed salad with a creamy tzatziki dressing, oh man.

Oh man.

Chicken parmesan.

Chicken breast, breaded and sauteed, topped with herbed tomato sauce and parmesan; served with pasta, topped with wilted lettuce tossed with red wine vinegar, parmesan, salt & pepper; and fresh tomatoes. Probably one of my favorite meals.

Savory French toast.

Topped with cheese, sliced tomato, fresh chives, salt and black pepper. One of my favorite breakfasts! Brought to you by Oma van Pelt.

And by you I mean me.

Macaroni & cheese.

Not macaroni, but some twisty pasta. Turkey and cheese sauce and salt and pepper and hot sauce and sprinkled with paprika...I love mac & cheese. Even if it isn't mac.

Served with tomato.

Turkey salad sandwich.

We had leftover turkey in the fridge (when is Thanksgiving...? haha jk Mom) so I made a really simple turkey salad with ranch dressing and celery salt, and slapped it on some toast with tomato. Served with apple and tortilla chips, this was like the best meal I've ever had. Or I was just really hungry.

Mediterranean sandwich.

Pita bread, filled with diced chicken, tomato, red bell pepper and fresh tzatziki (plain yogurt, minced cucumber, dill, dijon, minced garlic, salt & pepper). Super delicious and refreshing.

Hamburger.

Got a craving for burgers after seeing one on tv...this happens a lot.

Mom's famous hamburger patties with all sorts of secret ingredients, plus lettuce, tomato, colby jack, barbecue sauce and dijon.

PS - Mom, I made one for Dad too so there are only 4 patties left in the freezer.

BLT.

Another BLT, this one without turkey...and on whole wheat. It IS different than that one I made before. Or that's what I'll keep telling myself.

Chicken cacciatore.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the conversation went something like this:

Brian - "I haven't had chicken cacciatore in a long time."

Janice - "Okay, I'll make it."

And then it was delicious. Yet another reason she is so amazing.

Breaded chicken and pasta.

Sam is here! We made panko-encrusted chicken, parmesan & herb rotini, and cucumber/tomato salad.

Lindsay - "How would you describe the dinner last night?"

Samantha - "Super! Neato! Awesome! Delicious! Fabulous! Magical! Mystical! Mysterious! And really delicious."

Turkey sandwich.

Had a fabulous Greek dinner last night but, of course, I didn't have my camera. The meal was so good that I was inspired to go Greek for my second dinner, and that's when this sandwich happened. Turkey, tomato and tzatziki on whole wheat, with fresh cracked pepper.

Have I mentioned how much I love food?

Tomato sandwich.

Roma tomato, cream cheese, bleu cheese dressing, basil, oregano, salt and freshly cracked black pepper on whole wheat toast. I have been a huge fan of tomato sandwiches ever since that one movie with the chick from Matilda and maybe Rosie O'Donnell? I don't remember the title, nor do I think I watched the whole thing, but the Matilda chick ate a tomato sandwich and commented on how she was weird because she didn't have meat on it. I thought it sounded good, so I tried it. One more instance in which television promotes culinary experimentation.

Or just makes me hungry.
