Sack Lunch: Turkey and Coleslaw Sandwich

I've never heard of coleslaw on a deli sandwich before, but it sounds genius! I can't wait to try it. I never know what to order in a deli because the usual stuff looks scary, but this sounds so good.

That used to be my favorite ice cream when I was a little kid - up until age five or six, I think. Urbino, the town near where I spent my summers, had one ice cream parlor back then and this was the only "manufactured" flavor they had. Heaven.

Eating for Two: Swiss Chard with Tomatoes and Chickpeas

Another amazing sounding recipe from that book. (And just perfect, too, because I have a pile of farro leftover from last night in the fridge.) Are you subtly telling me I need to add it to my collection? :)

Essentials: Fish Tacos

I love this book's version of fish tacos - I made them last summer and Ben hasn't stopped requesting them since. (I used tilapia, but since I don't own a nonstick skillet, there were some stickage issues with my stainless steel pan...)

I like the idea of doing this with roast beef...especially if you added a little horseradish to the coleslaw...mmm

Sack Lunch: Turkey and Coleslaw Sandwich

This is one of my favorite sandwiches.

I usually grill the rye bread and get the swiss cheese all melted, then top it with tons of turkey a squirt of thousand island and a heaping amount of cole slaw.

On occasion Ill stick some cole slaw onto a hot dog or plain hamburger as well.

Cole slaw and pineapple suit a grilled chicken breast with teriyaki sauce too, shove that all into a sandwich bun and yum!

And then of course there is pulled pork too.

Im hungry now...

Sack Lunch: Turkey and Coleslaw Sandwich

I always add cole slaw to my roast turkey sandwiches. I also can't eat hot dogs and corned beef sandwiches without my addition of cole slaw. I've never been to a deli in NYC that won't add (for an extra charge). And, of course, always on pulled pork sandwiches.

Sack Lunch: Turkey and Coleslaw Sandwich

When I lived in north Jersey the delis made a sandwich called a Sloppy Joe, it is the BEST! Turkey, ham, Swiss, coleslaw, and Thousand Island dressing on rye. It's a three napkin sandwich but soooo good!

Eating for Two: Swiss Chard with Tomatoes and Chickpeas

Ahhh...yum. I grew up on a decidedly less vegetarian version of this in our Italian household. This sounds fantastic. And FYI: I have a two year old who eats pretty much everything. All we did was feed her what we ate and didn't make a big deal out of it. I really do think it's "baby see, baby do".

I used to love Smurf Ice Cream as a kid. They sell it at Sweet Claude's in Cheshire, CT (or at least they used to). I think it was blue raspberry with marshmallows. Perfect for a seven year old with a high tolerance for SWEET.

Eating for Two: Swiss Chard with Tomatoes and Chickpeas

I make this dish too, but I combine it with another related recipe I once had (and could never find again) from the LA Times. You start by sauteing a paste made from somewhat less garlic, salt and a teaspoon or so of whole coriander seeds that you grind together in a mortar. After the garlic gets fragrant, you add a half a finely chopped onion, let it cook for a minute, and then stir in a wopping dollop of tomato paste - a generous tablespoon or more. (I always use double concentrated paste from Italy) This all makes a sticky, golden orange flavor bomb on the bottom of the pan. Then add 2-3 small diced fresh tomatoes - this is so great in the summer time - and proceed as you mention above with the chard and drained chick peas (no extra liquid though), and once the chard has wilted, you can pretty much stop there. Add the juice of a generous lemon and let sit for 5 minutes or so before serving. It's quite good warm or at room temperature, and is fabulously good with brown rice.

I am a huge fan of this book! It has helped me out of many a vegetable rut & almost never disappoints.
