Recipe of the Week – Grilled Veggie Sandwiches
(From the Vegetarian Entree category at www.emealsforyou.com)
Grilled Portabella Sandwich
Our company arrived in the rain and the rain stayed most of the weekend. We decided that we would have something a little different from the usual fare for lunch on one of the days. As I don’t mind grilling in the rain and cold; I decided to do grilled veggie sandwiches. This is a really easy to prepare lunch and always gets a smile from the guests as it is unexpected and visually attractive.
We grilled portabella mushrooms, red peppers, onions, yellow squash and asparagus. I peeled the asparagus, I always peal my asparagus. It is amazing that this is such filling and satisfying meal, even without meat.

Recipe of the Week – Special Lunch
French Lunch
Color me a romantic. We have always enjoyed an easy, eat what you want lunch. Whether strolling, well you can’t just walk, in Paris or just as a quick Saturday late lunch thing; you really can’t beat the creature comfort of this take-with-you or buy-it when-you-get there meal. The photo above actually was taken when we returned from the Findlay Market, the oldest under-roof farmers market in the country. We arrived a little early, by Findlay standards, on Sunday. The vendors where still putting their wares out and we were on a mission to get some ground chuck from the local butcher shop. I guess it might have been because we were strolling (walking aimlessly) around to kill time that we began to think of lunch. Why don’t we pick up some cheese, olives , a baguette and some salami for lunch? Let’s get some grapes as well. Great idea!!!
So we had our “French Lunch”, not on the Rive Gauche but on our coffee table. Even though we had been together for the last 3 hours it was still special to take the time to eat the good food and talk the good talk. We have these lunches whenever the mood strikes us, usually in our busy lives we are not stuck enough so I guess that is why they are so special.
