I can only review the sandwich portion of this. We had a large brunch so I did not want to make dinner. I was going to have cheese, crackers, pate etc rather than a meal but saw this recipe for sandwiches. I made them on the only bread I had in the house - a french bageutte and used apricot preserves. It was wonderful! Dh who is as suspicious of new food as your average 3 yo loved them. Thanks for a new favorite!

I have been a member of recipezaar and food.com for years. This is definitely my go-to place for recipes and love that I can have all my individual cookbooks to sort and store recipes. ? I like to experiment when I cook and find that I rarely follow a recipe as it is written. I am also pretty health conscious and try to cook low-fat for regular everyday meals (you can't skimp on the rich stuff for holiday meals & treats!). I also avoid processed foods and use fresh wholesome ingredients whenever possible.
