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!

    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.

Happy December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 Happy December 1st! Can you believe it’s only 25 days until Christmas? I’m not ready yet!! But I did get my Christmas tablescape ready! 
🎄
I was gifted this beautiful table cloth by @cottonprintclub. It’s 100% cotton, comes in several sizes and colors, doesn’t bleed or shrink when washed. I love the shade of green and it is so beautiful that you can use it all year. 
🎄
I went with a simple tablescape to show off my beautiful plates that I received from @backcountrymercantile. All I added to my table was some garland, candlesticks and of course twinkling lights. Swipe the photo to see my table in the evening. 
🎄
Do you have a food dish that you like to make during the holidays?

I ran and grabbed my dough bowl and filled it with Claire Burke Christmas Memories Potpourri that filled the room with the scent of cinnamon, cloves and Christmas trees. It’s perfect! The potpourri has gold and red accents in it. There are large and baby pinecones with white snow on them, and pinecones dipped in gold. This is the perfect potpourri for the season.

Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and Hi Everyone! I’m done decorating my kitchen and oh my gosh, I love it!! Pink is so fun! I thought I would share with you how I styled my kitchen sink area.
💗
The inspiration for this space came from the stunning pieces that I was gifted from my friend Britni @arcadian.collective. I love her shop! Such timeless, elegant pieces that will last a lifetime.
💗
I received from Arcadian Collective the solid marble Seraphine Butter Bell, Vintage European solid brass Salt & Pepper Mill, Carrara Cielo Marble Stone Serveware and the cutest pink little Christmas candle. Check out my Arcadian Collective highlight for more details on each product. They would make a great holiday gift!

Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my a Happy World Kindness Day! This weekend I made my annual snow jar to place on my shelf in the kitchen. You get a tiny sneak peak of my shelves at the end of the reel. The snow jars are so easy to do and you probably have most of the items on hand. 
💗
For the snow, I used blanket snow. You could also use, sugar or Epsom salt. I like the blanket snow because it’s not messy and it hides the fairy lights battery pack.
💗
The houses are ornaments that I bought at Target. I thought they were Perfect for my pink kitchen. Of course you can use whatever you have on hand. It doesn’t have to be a house and tree.
💗
If you buy fairy lights, make sure they have a timer on them. Trust me that will make life easier. If you don’t like fairy lights, you can use a faux candle. 
Ohhh and have a stack of batteries. I go through more batteries in the month of December then I do the rest of the year!
💗
Items used:
Apothecary jar
Fairy lights with timer
Pink house ornament
Bottlebrush tree
Pink ribbon 

Everything, but the pink ribbon was bought at Target. 
💗
Have fun creating! If you make one, tag me so I can share!!

Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last Happy Monday! Here is a little throwback from last years Christmas. I plan on doing green again in the living room. I just think it looks classic, plus I have all the decor already. So no need to buy more.
🎄
But I still do plan on doing pink in my kitchen. I figured I could use some pink everyday pieces that I already have and add pops of pink ornaments and pink little Christmas trees. I plan doing some shopping this week to see what I can find in pink. I’m so excited!! 
🎄
Have a fantastic Monday!

Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. Happy Monday! Sorry I haven’t been on in awhile. My husband was sick with the flu, then he passed it on to me. My dog even had an upper respiratory infection. Ugh! It was a rough 2 weeks. Then on Friday I had surgery to remove skin cancer on my chest. I’m sore and I can’t lift or exercise. Anyway, that’s why I have not been on.
🦇
I wanted to give you one last look at my Halloween kitchen before I change it out. Not sure if I’m going to add some Fall or Christmas next. Did you know Christmas is in 63 days? 😳
🦇
So I have been thinking about Christmas colors. The past 2 years I have done green and I love it, however I have always wanted to do a pink Christmas. Just not sure if I can pull it off? I don’t know if I want to go crazy and buy a bunch of pink? What color are you doing this year?
🦇
Have a great day!!
