Asiago Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli Asiago Mashed Potatoes and Broccoli My husband has been away on a business trip for nine days, and while I surrendered early on to the fact that peanut butter sandwiches and cereal would be my new meals, that’s not been the case at all. I’ve had dinner with neighbors, gone out with friends, and cooked plenty for myself. One thing that I’ve made sure to do, though, has been comfort myself with a warm homemade meal. This delicious side dish is about as versatile as it gets, and is also a great way to get kids to scarf down some veggies!

Grilled Cheese Social I've got to get this off of my chest. I care about bees. Like a lot. So to talk about bees without being a total drag, I've made a new sandwich to showcase their sweet, sweet nectar. So here's my spin... Ingredients: - about 4 slices fresh mozzarella - 2 hearty slices of a Bâtard - 5 slices of sopressata picante - 1 tbs of red pepper flaked butter (combine 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes with one tablespoon of real salted butter, MIX) - 1 tbs of basil infused honey (fresh basil leaves and tupelo honey Ok, so I'm totally obsessed with tupelo honey (and it doesn't have anything to do with my obsession for Van Morrison either. To make the basil infused honey, julienne about ten small basil leaves and stir them into a tablespoon of honey. Then add a layer of mozzarella. Then add some spicy sopressata. And now add on the last layer of mozz. Then the top piece of bread... IT'S TIME FOR THE RED PEPPER FLAKE BUTTER. Then turn your burner up to medium and set your sandwich in. So there ya have it.
