Sandwich Caprese

October 20, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 21 Comments

Hi Everyone and Happy Saturday,

Today I have for you sandwich #6 from Emeril Lagasse’s  Kicked-Up Sandwiches Cookbook.  This was the first sandwich that I actually made from him and I thought it would be my favorite, but now I can’t decide.  You know from my personal past recipes, how much I love Caprese sandwiches, so I had to create Emerils and you know what?  I love it!!  Yah, yah, I know your not surprised!!

This sandwich is made on Ciabatta bread, and to keep the calories low I took out the center of the bread and stuffed it with fresh tomatoes from my garden.  Yum!!  Emeril’s sandwich had a basil pesto type spread on it, but I kept it fresh by adding fresh basil from the garden.  This sandwich is simply amazing!  One of my all time favorites.  I know why but I can’t get enough of tomato and basil together!


Hey, I forgot to mention, do you like my green plate?  Little Jenny bought it for me for Mother’s Day and she has been waiting for me to use it.  I thought this sandwich was perfect on it!!  It’s one of my favorite shades of green!

Now, I can’t post the recipe to this sandwich, but I was googling on Emeril’s site and I found a fabulous recipe for Individual Baked Tomato Mozzarella Cheese and Fresh Basil Pies, and that recipe is very similar to this recipe.  I love that for the pies he used puff pastry!  I so have to make that!!  It sounds wonderful!!

I only have one more sandwich to make and my Serious Sandwich Kickoff is over!  🙁  I want to share with you the list of all participating bloggers.  You should check them out!!!  There a great bunch of bloggers that I have the honor to virtually meet!

Emeril answered your question. You may post this on your blog.

QUESTION:  What gives you the inspiration to come up with new and creative recipes? Jennifer http://www.peanutbutterandpeppers.com/

EMERIL:  I take inspiration from just day to day life – many times it comes from what I see in farmer’s markets and grocery stores while shopping for dinner. I also get to travel a lot for work these days, and I always return from a trip with new ideas and inspirations.

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I love the idea of using a puff pastry! I did something similar to that once where I filled the pastry with avocado, tomato, and mozz. It was great and I loved the lightness of the pastry.

    Nice idea on hollowing out the ciabatta.

I received some new pillows from Downlite Bedding called the Primaloft Renew Pillow which is perfect for back and side sleepers. They are so soft to touch, slightly firm, machine washable. As you can see Samuel loves them. It put him right to sleep. 
🐾
Downlite Bedding gave my followers a 20% discount code: DYGEN20. Now to try to get my pillow back from Samuel.

I worked on my little corner by updating my bar cart, which is so dangerous because I added candy that I can’t stop eating. I also added  my new Kissing Booth sign from @krumpetshomedecor. 
💋
The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

The Kissing Booth sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get 10% off with code: PBANDP. The link is in my bio. Also Krumpets Home Decor ships to Canada.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
