Helloooooo. Good morning guys! Another Day, another giveaway in honor of BOOK WEEK!!! (were you sure to sign up for the shiny kitchen aid mixer?)
I have a big bowl of flavorful Chicken Coconut Curry Soup for you today. Here at home I am like pretty much swimming in it.
I know I mish-mashed Asian flavors here. Sorry. But it’s really, really good. Oh, and really, really easy.
Curry, coconut, ginger and chili and they all swim around this glorious broth with noodles and tons of fresh herbs.
I really piled on the jalapenos in my house. I have some serious throat stuff going on, and I always believe in the germ-killing power of a big bowl of REALLY SPICY soup. Right? Like sweat it out?
Ok, I am also going to introduce you to Tuesdays Giveaway: this 12 inch cast iron skillet. I made sure I had my Southern Sister-in-Law pick out the right kind. Cause she knows about this stuff. Like officially.
If you were flipping through my new book (OUT TOMORROW!!!) and saw that you wanted to make Baked Eggs with Squash, Kale and Cheddar or Chicken Apple Sausage or maybe a Steak Sandwich with Brie and Fig Spread? Or a big batch of Fried Green Tomatoes, this gorgeous $60 Lodge 11” enameled cast iron skillet would probably help you.

Mmm, so many to pick from. Probably grilled chicken, some kind of good cheese, pear, greens, and balsamic glaze (or something to that effect. Oh, maybe toss a little bacon in there too. Bread has to be light weight to not overwhelm the good stuff:).

This soup looks delicious. And the cast iron! In green! My cast iron skillet sits on my stove always, so that it’s in easy reach. I also inherited my grandfather’s aunt’s deep chicken fryer/skillet cast iron, which I love. Adding a green skillet like this to the collection would be wonderful!

Of course, I forgot to actually mention my favorite sandwich. It’d have to be grilled cheese with cheddar and avocado and dijon mustard. Can’t be beat!

I am a sucker for a good tuna melt (mine), or an Italian sub from a good Italian deli. Mmmm.
This soup looks absolutely amazing! I love that it isn’t creamy, although there’s nothing wrong with creamy! It just looks so fresh and really perfect!
So, favorite sandwich: there was this absolutely perfect sandwich at a restaurant called North in Scottsdale, AZ. A fork & knife sandwich, open-faced on a grilled baguette half, layered with a slice of fontina, topped with a tender, grilled piece of skirt steak, and a generous amount of a divine mixture of multi-colored, halved cherry tomatoes tossed with herbs in a vinaigrette. It’s no longer on the menu and I’ve not tried to duplicate it. I should. And maybe a new cast iron pan would lend some inspiration!
Ham salad sandwich made with jalapenos. I’ve gotta find that recipe. Or maybe pimento cheese made with jalapenos.
My fave sandwich is something my husband makes with a fried egg, mustard, pickles, and cheese. (Extra sharp cheddar. It’s a must.)
It’s amazing!

I’m following you on Pinterest and subscribed to your feed. My favorite sandwich, by far, is a classic grilled cheese. It has to be on good thick bread, rye or sourdough, with (extra) American cheese. The best trick is to melt the butter in the pan instead of spreading it on the bread first. When you place the sandwich in the melted butter the bread soaks it up and will be perfectly browned and crisp.

Egg Salad
Sandwiches are my favorite food so its hard for me to pick just one. But I have an old Martha Stewart recipe from many years ago for a pressed sandwich. It is called a Greek Salad Sandwich and I’ve never tired of it. I’ve been coming back to this one for years and years! Its basically a roud loaf of rustic bread split in half with a lemon oregano vinagrette brushed inside the bread. Then layered with lots of fresh veggies and olives and feta cheese. Yum!

A Rueben, but with a peppery pastrami instead of corned beef! Drain the kraut really well and spring for some GOOD russian dressing, the thick kind so your sandwhich isnt goopy. Is goopy a word? Anyway, It would probably taste really good out of a green enameled frying pan…. 😉

I just made this yesterday and it was perfect. My broth was not a clear though. Any suggestions?
Lillybeth- it should NOT be clear. It has coconut in it, so it should be cloudy. The light may have just jkust given the illusion that my broth was clear- but it definitely has the coconut in it and is cloudy.
