The Reuben - Flancer's style

While I was thinking of what to make for dinner the one week I saw the Flancer's take out menu. So I found a sandwich that looked super good and tried to copy it as best I could. Well It was fantastic, one of the best Reuben's I had ever had, that is until I tried Flancers! Nonetheless I will definitely be making this again just next time I will know what I am shooting for.

I used a toaster oven to make it but next time I think I will cook the sauerkraut and cornbeef together first and then put it all together and brown/melt the cheese.


Reuben

2 pieces of marble rye bread ( slightly toasted )

corned beef

sauerkraut

russian dressing

swiss cheese

assemble corned beef, sauerkraut and russian dressing on bread slathered with a little mayo, top with a slice of cheese and bake until melted and browned. Serve hot.

My Bunco Meal

A couple of years ago my mom made these sandwiches for Easter and I fell in Love. They are a sweet & salty parade of flavors with just the right crisp to the warm sandwich.

If you have not been lucky enough to have tried one of these sammy's I suggest you go right out and buy the ingredients and make it for dinner tonight! You will be forever in love and can thank me later.

The Best Ham Sandwiches Ever

adapted from Recipezaar

Ingredients

• 2-12 packages of sweet hawaiian rolls (the small dinner roll looking ones)
• 2 lbs of sliced ham (any kind will do)
• 12 slices swiss cheese
• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons dried onions ( i used grated onion)
• poppy seed

Directions

1. 1
   You will need two 9 x 13 pans. Place the bottoms of 12 rolls in each pan. Place ham (about 2 shaved slices or so) on the rolls. Cut the cheese slices into 4 parts and place 2 small pieces on each sandwich. Put the dinner roll tops on. In a sauce pan, mix butter, dijon mustard, worcestershire sauce, and dried onions. Wait until all butter is melted, wisk together, and then pour the melted mixture over the ham sandwiches (I know it sounds weird but TRUST me). Sprinkle the buns with poppy seeds and cover with foil. Let refrigerate overnight (If not able to wait, it is okay. They still taste great if made right away). Preheat oven to 350 and uncover sandwiches. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes and serve. They are great hot and even at room temperature Enjoy!

I also made this take on a Caprese Salad, but with pasta a salami

Put it all together with your favorite Balsamic Dressing.

I know I already said you MUST try the ham sandwiches but I you MUST also try the Lemon Cooler Cake from Costco it is straight Divine! I have had Many Lemon cakes and Nothing I mean Nothing compares to this one ( yes Joes BBQ included). It is sooooooo Moist, sweet and the perfect amount of lemon flavor. I could truly eat the whole thing!

My first Giveaway!!!!!

Ever since I started my blog I wanted to have a giveaway- I love getting free stuff and giving stuff away. Well last week I won 3 blog contests.

This super cute headband from Penelope Lane

a cute beanie from Jills Crochet Corner

and a shirt from Autumn Dame

I thought that after that how can I not Give back.

So I decided to have my first ever giveaway.

For Christmas my MIL gave us all KRUSTBUSTERS.

I don't know If any of you out there like Uncrustables- me and my family Love them. Especially my husband who is always stocking up on them. They are so nice and perfect to take places. Plus for some reason they are so much better than just a regular PB& J.

The Krustbuster is like an Uncrustable maker- you make whatever sandwich you want and then put it in the Krustbuster and it comes out de-crusted and sealed together.

It works great and is so much fun, my kids, my hubby and I all enjoy eating our sandwich so much better this way.

There are lots of cool recipes and ideas on the website as well, like a Stuffed French Toast that looks amazing.

Here is how you make a PB&J

So if you want to win one of these Leave a comment by Friday @ 9 p.m when I will draw a winner! Good Luck!

The Farmer- Roasted Veggie Sandwich

Probably my most favorite restaurant of the moment is Liberty Market. It has the BEST sandwiches EVER! I have 2 favorites the first is the "The Rancher" ( which I will try and make at a different time) and "The Farmer". The sammy includes the following roasted vegetables, red pepper, portobello mushroom, zucchini, squash, & sweet potato. Now they have the recipe drawn on the walls in one of their bathrooms but I forgot to write it down, though it seems pretty self explanatory. The only thing I couldn't find is the great sesame bread they use, so I got a multi grain bread with sesame and poppy seed crust.

I started out by thinly slicing all the veggies to fit nicely on the sandwich, then I drizzled olive oil and salt and pepper to coat and arranged on a cookie sheet with tin foil and put in the oven for 20-25 min. on 400 degrees. ( i also turned halfway through)

I smeared some softened goat cheese on the bread

loaded it all up

put it in my george forman, since I don't have a panini press

and ta da. How beautiful.

I thought it was great, my kids however just ate the bread.

In conclusion, while I loved the sandwich I think I like LM's a little better. I don't know what it is, I guess it is just the restaurant curse for me. They must do something special I don't know about. :) But if you like all these veggies you will love this sandwich wether you make it for yourself or try out my fav place Liberty Market! p.s. if you go don't forget to get the Red Velvet it Rocks ( and I don't even really like red velvet)
