Honestly, I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. It's the perfect solution when you don't want to prepare yet another gluten-free sandwich or roll, but that's your only option. And it's such a flashback to the 1980s. Remember the pizza subs that you could buy frozen? Pop them in the oven and you had a pizza meal. I used to think they were the ants pants.

The oil gives this slice a lovely crisp crust … [Read more...]

Well, I know it's blindingly obvious. I mean, Vietnamese cold rolls are a brilliant lunchbox solution. They're compact, easy to manage, nutritious and tasty. But geez, they take a bit of effort in preparation and rolling. And who's got that kind of time in the mornings? I sure don't. So I've avoided cold rolls ever since I started this blog. But recently, my daughter's class had a cultural … [Read more...]
