Penn Station Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich Recipe

Okay - these looked SO tasty when they were assembled that my husband and I inhaled the sandwiches before I had a chance to take a photo! So, no photo for this blog update. The source of my inspiration for this super quick dinner is Penn Station. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Penn Station is a quick serve restaurant where you order your sandwich and they make it in front of you on their hibachi-like grill. They saute up all the ingredients, throw on some cheese, toss it in a french bread, and throw it through a broiler to get it all melty and gooey. My favorite sandwich has always been the Chicken Teriyaki Sandwich with mushrooms and onions however recent years it hasn't been living up to my standard. So, I set out on a quest to make it the way I remembered. Plus, there aren't any Penn Stations here in Madison! The recipe below I believe will be super flexible for you. Add as many or as few mushrooms, onions and green peppers as you like. Season with as much (or as littl...

Beef Empanadas from Leftover Pot Roast

I like making pot roast because I use the slow cooker, I can throw everything in, set it and forget it. But, Chris and I don't usually eat the entire pot roast in one night. The left overs will last us a couple of days. But, eating pot roast leftovers for more than a day is not usually something we end up doing...so, I decided to do something a bit different this last time, turning them into my version of beef empanadas. The results were good! I served with salsa and spanish rice on the side. If I make them again, I will use a bit more taco seasoning to make them spicier. You can change up the spice level, moisture levels, cheese, and size easily. The ingriedients below yielded about 6 empanadas with leftover spicy beef mix. These will freeze up wonderfully. Just prep them all the way to step 3 and freeze on a cookie sheet before moving to a ziploc bag. Ingredients for roughly 6 empanadas: 1 cup left over beef pot roast 1 Tbs taco seasoning 2 Tbs water (adjust based on how moist/d...

Crock Pot Pulled Pork

Holy cow. This recipe was good. SO GOOD. Chris doesn't even like pork (with the exception of bacon, of course) and after taking his first bite he proclaims "Holy crap, that's good". He proceeded to eat seconds. Folks, this is a MAJOR indicator of how good this recipe is... So get your butt to a grocery store, buy some pork shoulder and get to slow cookin'. You will not regret this. I love barbecue. I discovered a few years ago, two things...1) there's a phenomenal barbecue place 30 seconds away from my office called Smoky Jon's and 2) that I sometimes want barbecue on the weekends when I'm 30 minutes away from Smoky Jon's, but I'm too lazy to drive to the opposite side of town to fulfill my barbecue craving. Initially, I turned to pulled chicken sandwiches as my solve for barbecue sandwiches at home. It's good, but not the same. Once, I tried pulled pork using a pork tenderloin and the same method I use when making pulled chicken (p...
