Cookin' Food

Stacey here… this Family Cook Book was originally collected and printed several years ago. I gave the collection as Christmas gifts. The ever increasing family and friends asking for copies, as well as, more and more new recipes being shared, has sent me fleeing to the web as a family resource. My family tree and all of our connecting branches, have a long love of food and recipes. If you have stumbled upon us by accident, you are welcome to use a recipe. Our recipes have been collected over many years from many different sources - I strive to give credit where credit is due.

Leftover Sandwiches - Small and Large

Our yummy sandwich solutions for leftovers...

Barbecue Roast Beef  or Pork Roast
In medium size pot: sauté onions in a small amount of oil.  Add thinly sliced beef or pork, or
shredded leftover roast.  Cover with barbecue sauce and simmer until sauce begins to bubble.
Serve on roll or hamburger bun.

Sloppy Joes
Use thinly sliced roast beef or ground beef/turkey with your favorite sloppy joe seasoning.

Meatloaf
A slab of leftover meatloaf is great on any bread.  Jazz it up with pepperocinis or olive tapenade.

Meatball
Left over hors d’oeuvre meatballs are the perfect bite size for a sandwich.  Heat them in a convenient bottle marinara sauce, and serve on a roll with grated parmesan or mozzarella cheese.  Don’t wait for leftovers – keep a bag of frozen meatballs in the freezer and bottle sauce in the pantry for handy sandwich fixins’

Tortas
This Mexican sandwich makes great use of shredded leftover meat (beef, chicken, pork).  Heat and season with your favorite taco seasonings.  Pile on soft Talera roll and top with cheddar, diced onions, tomatoes, lettuce, avocado and chipotle mayo
 
Fish Salad
Use leftover fish instead of canned tuna in your favorite recipe.  For a Mediterranean spin try mixing capers, diced nicoise olives, onions, fresh dill and a vinaigrette dressing.

Salmon Dill Pitas
Use the recipe on the previous page.  Using a pastry bag, pipe the salmon spread into mini pitas and garnish with sliced cucumbers, onions and capers.

Veggie
Usel leftover salad fixings: lettuce, tomatoeos, sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, mushrooms… whatever you like.  Serve on sliced bread or roll, inside pitas, or wrapped in tortillas.  Use your favorite salad dressing instead of mayo or mustard.  Adding a little diced/sliced fruit such as pineapple or mango with a hint of chile or spice can add a whole lot of fun flavor !
