JBug's Kitchen Antics: Beef and Roasted Pepper Panini Sandwiches

Beef and Roasted Pepper Panini Sandwiches

Remember the tri tip roast we cooked up recently? Being the frugal soul that I am, I divided and froze the leftovers in zip bags with some grand ideas for its future. Good thing I'm such a planner.

We celebrated Pink Mountain Friday last night with a couple of knock out sandwiches. Fresh panini rolls slathered with mayo and horseradish, topped with thinly sliced and slivered medium rare tri-tip, roasted red and yellow peppers, pickled jalapeno slices and an assortment of cheeses including bits of fontina, sharp cheddar, Italian 4 cheese blend, fresh mozzarella and a smidge of gorgonzola.

Slathered with butter and cooked till crisp in a hot panini grill, not only was it a great way to use up some tri-tip leftovers, it did short work of all the bits and pieces that collected in the cheese drawer over the past week or so. Rather brilliant, don't ya' think!

Sorry there's no recipe because we just threw them all together. Does it give you some ideas?

Uh...me too. That's been the biggest issue and I have to admit, the elliptical has been on hiatus lately. It's a bear and so am I. LOL

Oh my! I could eat the panini with just the cheese you included. What a fantastic idea...cleaning out the cheese drawer onto a sandwich. The beef is just icing.

Thanks Lorraine. That Tri Tip seemed to be never ending - not that we're complaining mind you!

Italian Style Meat Sauce with Polenta I've been craving a good feed of Italian food. I knew I had some tomato sauce in the freezer, so I gassed the original plan for last night's dinner menu and succumbed to my weakness. I love Italian flavors and pasta - well, any kind of carb is tops on my list which isn't necessarily the best choice for a woman my age. Oh well! The pre-made marinara made quick work of the meat sauce, as I simply added it to some sauteed onion and browned ground chuck and freshened up the spices a touch with red pepper flakes, dried...

New Orleans BBQ Shrimp a la Mr. B's Bistro Did you know barbecue shrimp to a New Orleans native doesn't involve a grill or a bag of charcoal? Never mind that unlike another version of Cajun shrimp we've enjoyed here before, this one doesn't have a spec of tomato anywhere in it. My friend Lea is doing the happy dance as we speak! One thing both versions do have in common though is butter and when I say butter I mean butter and lots of it. Now before you take a look at the picture, I need to make a confession. You'll notice we cleaned the shrimp completely leaving...
