Hot Pepper Sauce | Mommie Cooks!

Who loves a good sandwich? I know I sure do. That’s why I was delighted when Alison Lewis asked me to review her newly published cookbook; 400 Best Sandwich Recipes. As soon as I received it, I knew it would become one of my go-to kitchen favorites. With everything from the classic club and sloppy joe, to international flavors you might not have thought to put together on your own (think Banh Mi, a Vietnamese sandwich containing pork, radishes and pickled carrots), to an extensive list of condiment recipes, this book has it all. She even throws in a handful of dessert sandwiches that are guaranteed to get your sweet tooth dancing. The best part is that the majority of recipes are quick, easy and healthy. Definitely my variety of cookbook.

I get to try out new recipes, we both get a night out away from the kids, and the food is most always amazing.

Ideas fluttered through my mind; everything from a white bean dip with hummus chips to homemade crackers with an assortment of cheeses. But when all was said and done, a more hearty combination of cheese, shrimp and bacon won me over. Just try and tell me you can resist that combination of flavors. I didn’t think so.
