{first diy reuben sammy}

well i’m just full of firsts in 2024! especially in the kitchen!

recently, i randomly decided to make my own reuben sandwich at home. it is most certainly my all-time favourite sammy! there was a glorious place in denver called masterpiece delicatessen and they made THE BEST reuben sandwich! {recently found out they closed, bummer!} and since then, i’ve been trying to find a place that creates one in the same way… alas – to no avail, i have yet to.

BUT! – as usual, when i can’t find what i want, i try to make it myself. and i feel like i was able to artfully recreate this specialty in my own kitchen, and i must’ve eaten one every day for like a week – haha!

complete with homemade russian-style {aka thousand island} dressing and homemade saurkraut! 🙂

this totally hit the spot… perfectly toasted marble rye bread, superbly savory pastrami {sliced thin and stacked high, of course}, delightfully melty swiss cheese, crunchy and punchy {and gut-healthy} sauerkraut, and slightly sweet tangy russian dressing… *chef’s kiss*

what’s there not to love?!

nom nom!

{totally craving : a pastrami sammy}

28 Mar

with homemade toasted rye bread, creamy melted swiss, authentic deli mustard, and colourful coleslaw… nom nom…

i would also do almost anything for a pastrammy from MASTERPIECE right about now… this one i created a while back was pretty incredible {miss E knows how to slice some perfect pastrami!}… but nothing beats a sammy from masterpiece delicatessen… and i lived in new york! – so that’s saying a lot! 😉

{grilled cheese and tomato sammy featuring sauteed spring ramps}

13 May

hey – how was your weekend?

i feel like mine was full of epiphanies. i feel like i turned over a new leaf. maybe it’s because i really feel like spring has ACTUALLY finally sprung here in colorado. we had snow to kick off the month of may, and last week was our “spring” full of rain – now we are in the 80s. so typical.

i feel like new life is here and with it, new ways of looking at it. i’ll dive into that more later… for now, let’s talk about baby leeks – AKA “ramps”…
