Foodball: Pineapple Blue Burgers

On 01/05/2015 By sarah sprague
Foodball: Pineapple Blue Burgers In this heat, the simplicity of a great hamburger is what I’m in a the mood for. A grilled, juicy burger with tangy blue cheese to cut through the sweetness of pineapple, the softness of the cheese and meat tempered by a crunchy cole slaw and a chewy English muffin that [...]

Foodball: Easy Pot Roast Sandwiches

On 03/29/2014 By sarah sprague
Easy Pot Roast Sandwiches I’m not going to lie, this is the same way I’ve made my regular pot roast — save reserving the potatoes for last and the rolls —  for years. Adding a bit of cayenne and chili powder doesn’t make the meat spicy, but it does add a little depth to your [...]

Foodball: Toasted BLT Bread

On 03/29/2014 By sarah sprague
Toasted BLT Bread A few weeks ago I was in the mood for the BLT Bites I’ve made a hundred times for parties and football Sundays. And while I love them, they can feel like a lot of work even though they are not much of a bother at all and I was feeling like [...]

Foodball: Herbed Cranberry Brie Sandwiches

On 03/29/2014 By sarah sprague
Herbed Cranberry Brie Sandwiches What make this sandwich work is sautéing the herbs in wine and olive oil to make the dressing. It cuts right through the sweetness of the cranberry and the richness of the cheese so you have a perfect balance of flavors. Not too filling, but not so light that after you’ve [...]

Foodball: Grilled Za’atar Chicken Pitas

On 03/29/2014 By sarah sprague
Grilled Za’atar Chicken Pitas Za’atar is a mixture of sumac, dried thyme, salt, toasted sesame seeds and sometimes dried savory, marjoram or oregano. The dominate taste comes from the sumac though; a tart, earthy spice that goes well baked on a pita, on poultry or in dressings. By using non-fat — but still thick — [...]

Foodball: Chicken Schnitzel Sandwiches

On 09/27/2013 By sarah sprague
Chicken Schnitzel Sandwiches We don’t give the German’s enough credit when it comes to food creation. Take the schnitzel. It’s hearty, is a perfect counterbalance to drinking large amounts of beer, is easy to make and takes the less-desirable pieces of meat and makes them appetizing. Stadiums should sandwich beer stands between sausage and schnitzel [...]

Super Bowl Recipe Month: Shrimp Rolls at KSK

On 01/28/2013 By sarah sprague
Even though I’m not a huge lobster fan, but I do enjoy a nice lobster roll with a beer and a game and lobster rolls have been on the master list of Football Foodie posting ideas for at least two or three years now. The problem with lobster rolls is even if you love your [...]

Ficelle – Super Bowl Recipe Month

On 01/11/2013 By sarah sprague
Ficelle Ficelle is a type of thin sandwich named for a thin baguette-style bread of the same name. (Ficelle means “string” in French if your guests ask.) If you can think of the combination, you can put on a ficelle, but the key to a good ficelle is not going overboard on sandwich filling since [...]

Skirt Steak Sandwiches With Caramelized Onions And Gorgonzola Sauce

On 01/02/2013 By sarah sprague
I love this sandwich. It’s that simple. Meaty skirt steak, rich caramelized onions, salty gorgonzola sauce and peppery arugula on a chewy roll. It’s sandwich made watching football and yelling at the Texans to stop BLOWING WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THEIRS UGH WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU HOUSTON DID YOU NOT GET ENOUGH HUGS IN [...]

Slow Cooked Turkey Sandwiches with Spicy Remoulade Sauce: Football Foodie Sandwiches

On 10/26/2012 By sarah sprague
One way to make a great turkey breast for sandwiches is by salting the meat like you would cure pork for bacon. The so-called “dry-brining” technique of prepping poultry is one of the easiest and most effective ways of making sure your turkey or chicken comes out succulent and moist. A method [...]

Bacon Chile Cheese Spinach Scrambled Eggs on Avocado and English Muffin Breakfast Sandwiches: Football Foodie Brunch

On 09/19/2012 By sarah sprague
A good, hearty breakfast sandwich serves two purposes, it gives you a good base of carbs and protein to start your day of yelling and screaming and it also helps eliminate any hangover you might have from either Friday or Saturday night to make sure you can actually spend a day yelling and screaming. Creamy [...]

Candied Corned Beef Sandwiches

On 09/12/2012 By sarah sprague
Few things can match a nice, thick cut corned beef sandwich while having a beer and watching, well, anything. I’ve made this for just sitting around watching movies and it made the whole experience better. Baffled by the end of PROMETHEUS? The extra kick of pepper in this sandwich will forgive the awkward triple-ending. Vikings-Colts? [...]

Chicken Tikka Masala Wraps: 28 Days of Super Bowl Recipes

On 01/31/2012 By sarah sprague
There are few things my husband likes more than chicken tikka masala, so when the first weekend without Steeler football came around this postseason, I knew I needed to make something a little special to cheer him up for watching a black and gold-less football game. When we had visited Harrod’s in London last fall, [...]

Mini Croque Monsieur Ham and Cheese Sandwiches: 28 Days of Super Bowl Recipes

On 01/13/2012 By sarah sprague
I love croque monsieur ham and cheese sandwiches. The nuttiness of Gruyere cheese, the hint of salt from the Parmesan, creamy bechamel, tang of Dijon mustard and meaty ham make for an adult grilled cheese treat. Unfortunately, they’re a little too messy to make and serve en masse for a party. Enter these little slider-sized [...]

Arugula, Carrot, Olive and Herbed Cheese Provencal Wraps: 28 Days of Super Bowl Recipes

On 01/10/2012 By sarah sprague
In my years of entertaining and eating, I’ve found small vegetable wraps offer nice reprieve on the buffet. Easier to serve than a green salad at a party, more filling due to the lavish or tortilla wrapping, and frankly, they’re just tasty. The bite of the arugula, the sweetness of the carrot, salt [...]

Veggie Sloppy Joes

On 01/03/2012 By sarah sprague
I’m not a fan of sloppy joes with ground meat, as they tend to be rubbery and spongy. I’m also not a fan of sloppy joes made with tofu or seitan. However, I am a huge fan of sloppy joes made with veggies, beans and mushrooms. By mincing the all the ingredients, you get a [...]

Italian Sausage Parmesan on Garlic Toasted Rolls, Two Ways

On 01/03/2012 By sarah sprague
There are two ways I like to make this sandwich. The first easy way takes only about 30-40 minutes, and the second method takes just a little longer while adding some vegetables for taste and crunch. It’s also an easy way to stretch five sausages into six or seven sandwiches.

Italian Sausage Parmesan on Garlic Toasted Rolls, Two Ways

On 01/03/2012 By sarah sprague
Thursday night football also means a few extra challenges for the fans. There will be fantasy football blunders in almost every league and selections missed in pick’em pools. And since it’s a weeknight, game time snacks need to easy and fast.

Shredded Buffalo Chicken Wraps

On 01/03/2012 By sarah sprague
Why I love these wraps that you get a great taste of everything in each bite, which is why the word “shredded” is so important, I’ve put it in the title. Shredding the celery and the carrots gives you a crunchy sweet foil to the spicy chicken and the tangy blue cheese. They are much [...]

Italian Pressed Sandwiches

On 01/03/2012 By sarah sprague
This is one of the easiest game time and pregame tailgate items around as well as being one of the tastiest. Creamy fresh mozzarella cheese, spicy meats, smokey peppers, brightness of pesto on chewy bread. As long as you give your sandwich at least six hours to meld together — although it’s much better if [...]

Favorite Burgers: Pineapple, cole slaw, teriyaki and blue cheese on English muffins

On 01/03/2012 By sarah sprague
Continuing my lackadaisical Football Foodie off-season, a quick post about one of my favorite “NEED MEAT NOW, IRON LEVELS FALLING” meals; pineapple, cole slaw, teriyaki and blue cheese on an English muffin burger. The sweetness of the pineapple and the teriyaki, the bite of the blue cheese and the crunch of the cole slaw all [...]

Kielbasa Beer (Tomato-less) Sloppy Joes

On 01/03/2012 By sarah sprague
For the first time in Friday Football Foodie history, we go into the weekend without Jeff Reed kicking for the Pittsburgh Steelers. After last weekend’s Sunday night loss to the Patriots, I was ready to stop defending Reed, but I don’t know if I was ready to see him go just yet. He wasn’t on [...]

Grilled Tri-Tip with Chocolate Balsamic Sauce

On 01/03/2012 By sarah sprague
Now I know how Dennis Dixon felt going through training camp and probably feels now that Leftwich is on the mend. You think you’re fine, then it turns out you’re not, so you have to waste time with something else that doesn’t quite work, and then by some fluke and hard work you [...]

Mini Burgers with Multiple Aiolis

On 01/02/2012 By sarah sprague
And then my first batch of aioli failed.  I’ve made aioli before, but for some reason it wouldn’t emulsify.   I thought about how the Steelers had lost their past four games, but here against the Browns they were going to try again and I changed my theme and attempted the aioli again. I wanted [...]

Cuban Sandwiches

On 12/31/2011 By sarah sprague
That is right. More ham. Or as my friend V loves to say, “PORK! WRAPPED IN MORE PORK!” This is funny only because it is after he has yelled this about 15 times does he ask, “WHY DOES THIS NOT HAVE BACON ON IT TOO??!?!?”
