Bacon Turkey Subs

 

This one is another winner from the Simple & Delicious Cookbook.  I've lost count of how many that makes!  All of the recipes are quick, almost always made from ingredients I have on hand, and, like the name says, are delicious.

We eat a late dinner on weekends, so I'm always looking for a filling-but-not-too-filling lunch.   This sandwich seemed perfect for that.   I used slices of leftover roasted turkey.   I don't eat mayo, so I substituted some Greek yogurt with the basil mixed in.    

I loved the salty bacon, the tart apple, balanced with the creamy topping.   I think it would make a great panini as well, I'd put the cheese closest to the bread and throw it on the press until it melted.    Thank you so much to Rachel B for sharing the recipe!

    3. The tart bite of it, plus the crunch really gave the sandwich that extra "something"!

  2. The apple sounds great on this instead of veggies!

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract. 

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
