Crispy Salmon Club Sandwich

June 18, 2023 No Comments

There are few sandwiches as iconic as the club. And it’s not hard to see why. It’s essentially a BLT with the added bonus of shaved turkey or chicken. It comes in a double or even triple-decker and is generally accompanied by a jazzy toothpick. What’s not to love? Well, if you’re not so much about the meat, it’s not really the sandwich for you. Enter the Crispy Salmon Club – the pescatarian answer to the classic sandwich. This fully-loaded sandwich swaps the turkey for tender chunks of seared salmon and the bacon for crispy fried salmon skin. Piled high with juicy slices of tomato, butter wedges of avocado, and crisp lettuce leaves, this sandwich features all the charms of the original but with a seafaring bent.

Boursin No-Bake Cheesecake with Pickled Veggies

I’m not the biggest dessert person. Sure, I like the odd slice of pie and summer just isn’t summer without a s’more or two. But my sweet tooth is fairly chill most of the time. And when it kicks up I tend to go for treats with a savoury edge. This may feel like a prelude to a dessert recipe but it’s not. Today’s Boursin No-Bake Cheesecake with Pickled Vegetables is very much a lunch option but it does appear in a dessert-like format. So what are we looking at here? This Boursin No-Bake Cheesecake features a crisp base of crushed wheat crackers accented with brown sugar and dried mustard topped with whipped cream cheese and Boursin filling decorated with ribbons of lightly pickled vegetables. It’s basically a giant cracker with cheese but you know, fancy.

The weekend is here and I for one am particularly grateful. I’m not sure if this has been a common experience but May and the first half of June always seem to be crunch time for me. So if you’ve felt the blog has been a little quiet recently, it’s because I’ve been crunched. But I’m here with you lovely people today to bring you quite possibly my favorite brunch – Fish Cake Eggs Benny. This dish boasts a chubby fish cake comprised of creamy mashed potatoes and carrots packed with tender chunks of haddock. The cake is served on a bed of roasted asparagus spears, topped with a poached egg, and positively drowned in hollandaise sauce. This is heaven on a plate, so let’s make it!

We’ve reached peak rhubarb season, which means rhubarb desserts are everywhere. And when your blog has the word “rhubarb” in its title, you better bring the goods, right? Every year I try to up the ante with something unexpected but also delicious. Whether I am successful or not is entirely up to you but it’s always a fun exercise in creativity. Last year, I brought you this fun take on a classic strawberry rhubarb pie and this year I give you this blushing Rhubarb Chiffon Cake with Pét-Nat Glaze. I don’t like to pick favorites so I won’t. But I will say I am tickled pink by this year’s entry.
