I assembled this sandwich for lunch one busy Saturday afternoon with fare we had readily available at the house. One of the many great things about a sandwich, apart from it being quick, delicious, easy to eat and easily adaptable to individual desires and what happens to be on hand, is that it is a simple matter to modify the amount of ingredients that would be needed for one person or a crowd.

CHICKEN AVOCADO SANDWICH

ciabatta rolls

1 1/2 pounds cooked chicken breast, sliced

8 ounces smoked cheddar cheese, sliced

2 tomatoes, sliced

1/2 pound lettuce

3 avocados

4 tablespoons salsa

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 teaspoons chopped cilantro

1 lime, juiced

hot sauce to taste

Peel the avocados and coarsely mash them in a bowl. Fold in the salsa, mayonnaise, cilantro, lime juice and hot sauce.

To assemble the sandwiches, slice the rolls in half and hollow out some of the bread. Spread each half of the rolls with the avocado mixture. Layer with chicken, cheese, tomatoes and lettuce. Replace the top of the rolls.

Enjoy!

ROASTED RED PEPPER AND CHEDDAR MUFFINS

roasted red pepper muffins

1 1/4 cups yellow cornmeal

1/2 cup flour

1 tablespoon sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

1/2 cup grated smoked cheddar

3/4 cup buttermilk, at room temperature

1 egg

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 (7-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, rinsed and dried

Heat oven to 375F. Butter 12 muffin cups, or line with paper liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and both cheeses. In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg and butter. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients, and mix to just combine. Roughly chop the peppers, and stir them into the batter. Fill the muffin cups half full with batter, and bake for 25 minutes or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove the muffins from cups and cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes before serving.

My daughter requested to have her birthday party at the horse barn where she takes lessons. We decided on a country theme, a color, and a menu. The party favors consisted of a mason jar with the girls names inscribed on a chalkboard label (also used as a water glass) a bandanna (also used as a napkin) a jar full of candy and a canvas that also doubled as a place mat. Despite the damp and dreary weather, the girls had a fabulous and very fun time, taking turns grooming and riding the horses, and petting the numerous other animals out on the farm.

Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of flour and 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil, beating just until combined. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface.

Bake 11 to 14 minutes or until golden, cool on baking sheets on wire racks for 30 minutes.

CHOCOLATE DIPPED TRAIL BITES

chocolate dipped cranberry trail bites

2/3 cup sugar

1 tablespoon finely shredded orange peel

1 1/4 cups dried cranberries

1/2 cup fresh cranberries

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate pieces

1/2 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened

1/3 cup vegetable oil

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 1/2 cups flour

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

2 tablespoons orange juice

In a food processor combine half the sugar and the orange peel. Cover and process until sugar is colored and very fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add dried and fresh cranberries and chocolate pieces. Pulse until finely chopped.

In a large bowl, beat butter, oil, remaining sugar, vanilla and salt with an electric mixer on low speed until evenly blended. Beat in half the flour and the baking soda until evenly incorporated. Stir in remaining flour until evenly incorporated. If dough is slightly dry or crumbly, gradually knead in 1 to 2 teaspoons more orange juice until cohesive. Let stand about 10 minutes, or until soft but not sticky.

Divide dough in half, place each on a 12-inch piece of plastic wrap. With lightly oiled hands, use the plastic to shape each into an evenly thick 11-inch log. Roll each log in plastic wrap, twist ends to close. Freeze at least 1 hour before slicing.

Position rack in middle of oven, heat oven to 350F. Line baking sheets with parchment, set aside.

Working with one dough potion, cut into slices a little more than 1/4 inch thick. Place slices about 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets. Repeat with second portion.

Bake one baking sheet at a time for 7 minutes. Rotate from front to back, bake 4 to 6 minutes more or until cookies are just beginning to brown. Transfer baking sheet to a wire rack, let cool 3 minutes to firm up. Using a wide spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack. Cool completely. Dip in melted chocolate and sprinkle with salt.

MELTED CHOCOLATE

Place 2 cups of chocolate pieces and 4 teaspoons of shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave each on 50 percent power 1 to 2 minutes or until melted and smooth. Dip cookies partially into chocolate, transfer to wire rack to cool.

Enjoy!
