Why? Because he needs leftovers. On go layers of light and dark turkey slices, homemade stuffing, pickles, pieces of soft butter lettuce to show that he is including something green, and last a smear of mayonnaise or aioli on the second slice of bread to help glue the whole contraption together.
This is one of my go to recipes at Christmas time. It is so easy and quick to throw together and yet it tastes AMAZING!! I love that I can make it ahead of time and have it in the freezer ready to go when I need a quick dessert. It looks so festive too!
Whether it's April 1 or just another day in the life of a rock-star mom, whip up these meatloaf-and-mashed-potato cupcakes for a way-cooler take on savory meat and gravy.
In the words of one fan, “I have co-workers who get down on their knees and beg me to make this!” Fix these delish treats and spread a little happiness.
If you have never heard of these, think of jalapeno poppers taken to a whole new level. See, these are poppers on steroids. Well, not really, but they are wrapped in delicious pork.
