Recipe Share: Grilled Veggie Sandwich with Herbed Mayo

When my twin sister, Jaime, a food lover like me, was in town, she told me we MUST make Rachael Ray's veggie sandwiches, so I agreed. And boy am I glad I did!

To say that this is a delicious sandwich is a complete understatement. I was literally saying, "yum", and "oh my", with every bite! Even if you don't think you like grilled veggies, try this and you will!
Something about the herbed mayo, creamy avocado, the taste of the grilled veggies and bread make it melt in your mouth! So yummy!
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
veggies of choice (we used portobello mushroom caps, zucchini, eggplant, red onion, tomato, avocado, and green leafy lettuce)
olive oil
salt and pepper
ciabatta rolls
Herbed Mayo:
3/4 cup mayo
1/2 lemon, juiced
a few drops of hot sauce
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1-2 Tbsp. thyme leaves, chopped finely
1-2 Tbsp. flat leaf parsley, chopped finely
1-2 Tbsp. chives, chopped finely
(I've made these without the parsley and chives, because I only had thyme on hand, and they were awesome still. Just use what you have.)
Instructions:
Slice eggplant, zucchini and onion into thin 1/2 inch slices. Take stem off portobello mushroom. Brush all veggies with olive oil and salt and pepper them. Grill over medium high heat until tender. (Mine took about 10-15 mins or so). Mix herbed mayo. Brush ciabatta rolls with olive oil and grill for a few minutes. Spread mayo on rolls, layer up veggies, add tomato, avocado, and lettuce if preferred. Enjoy!

You really must try these soon. You will fall deeply in love with them and then find yourself begging for more!

Teacher Appreciation Gifts. By color.

With teacher appreciation happening this week, I knew I wanted to do something nice for my 3 kids' teachers. I fell back on my usual gift ideas, and did a combination of chocolate, gum, and goodies from Bath & Body Works. All women like those things, yes? And, yes, I'm kind of a color coordinating freak. I love things to match, so I first chose 3 chocolates at Target and then went to their dollar section and found a few things that matched the chocolates.  How cute are these pink and white thumb tacks? The little sticky notes are a very light shade of blue that I thought worked with the turquoise. And I loved the purple pencils and purple paper clips, too.  I made sure to get 5 small things for each teacher. Bath and Body Works always has cute little sanitizers, sprays, and lotions.   The white scalloped edge tins I found at Target in their party section with all the wedding stuff.  Luckily I had filler leftover from Easter, and I always have tissue p

Party 101.

I remember when my oldest son was 4 years old, and I wanted to plan a birthday party for him. I was overwhelmed with how to go about planning a birthday party for little kids. I wasn't sure where to start. All I knew was that he really wanted a Thomas the Train theme. Cohen, at his Thomas party. Up until then, we had always done birthday parties with family only, and they were simply eating a meal (often at a restaurant), opening presents, and having cake. This would be our first friend birthday party, where we'd have to plan activities and food for all the kids. I so wanted to have a party that was memorable for my son and his friends.  I emailed a friend of mine and asked her for advice. She gave me some great tips that I've used in all my parties since. My twin sister, Jaime, also has been a great source to turn to. She throws a mean party and is crazy creative. O ver the years, I've also learned a lot of things from trial and error, lots of trial and err

Teacher Appreciation Gift.

My son's school did a theme each day of the week for Teacher Appreciation... (flower day, note day, treat day, etc.) I spaced it and remembered last night that we hadn't done anything yet! ACK! So, to Pinterest I went and found this cute pin . Lucky me it came with a printable tag that says "ORANGE you glad it's almost summer?" I thought it was perfect. (And being OCD about gifts matching, this made me very happy.) Here's what's inside : Peach Nectarine Sparkling Ice drink - these are so yummy Lindt Intense Orange dark chocolate bar - one of my faves Dreamsicle candle from Walmart Country Chic lotion from Bath & Body Works Sweet Tangerines hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works Orange Tic Tacs and Tropical Trident gum Lots of orange-y goodness.
