I am a foodie. I love different flavors, so when my husband arrived to the United States, I was excited to share with him all the flavors of California. He didn't like my food at first. I tried recipe after recipe for him, and night after night the response was mediocre at best. I soon tired of cooking food that went to waste because he didn't like it. I stopped cooking and I love to cook. But cooking is no fun when there isn't any enjoyment when it is eaten. After about 3 years of marriage, he began to experiment with food. He started trying different items and became willing to eat things he had never eaten. AND, he started to like food. Yay- and with that, I started to cook again. Now, he always asks me, "When did you learn to cook?" As if this is a new thing for me. My answer- "It isn't when did I learn to cook, it is when did you learn to eat?" This blog is a collection of recipes that I have created. I make new things all the time, but I don't write anything down and then I either forget that I made it, or I forget how to make it. I don't know if anyone is out there that will read this- but if you do, I hope you enjoy trying my recipes. Buen Provecho!

Best Chicken Sandwich

I was recently watching, The Best Thing I Ever Ate on the Food Network. The episode was best burgers which got me to thinking about the best burger I ever ate. Now technically, it really wasn't a burger, it was a chicken sandwich but it was REALLY GOOD!!
The sandwich is from Red Robin and was truly amazing. As I think about the ingredients, I realize that it is a taste profile that seems to attract me over and over again. Here is the description from the menu:
Chicken Caprese Sandwich
"An Italian gourmet treasure. Tender grilled chicken breast topped with fresh Mozzarella cheese, balsamic marinated tomatoes and crisp romaine lettuce. Served on rustic ciabatta bread with pesto aioli. " (Red Robin Menu)
There is another sandwich that I recently had at a little sandwich shop in Yorba Linda that is similar. The sandwich shop is called Stefano's Golden Baked Hams (South West corner of Yorba Linda Blvd and Imperial Highway). They have a Caprese Sandwich (but order it as a Panini), it has of course- Mozzarella Cheese, Basil, and Tomato they serve it with their balsamic vinegarette and it is amazing!
