Croque Monsieur Sandwich
I ordered a Croque Monsieur Sandwich at a restaurant in Colorado a while ago, and I’m still dreaming about how good it was.

The French twist on the classic is made with high quality ham, Gruyere cheese, and a Mornay sauce -- which is simply a béchamel sauce with added cheese. The Mornay sauce is smeared inside and then the sandwich is toasted to create a bu... Read More

Cobb Salad Sandwich
Whenever I go to a restaurant, the first thing that I look for on the menu is some version of a Cobb salad. Something about bacon, egg, avocado, and blue cheese mingling all on one plate makes my mouth start to water. What I love about a Cobb salad is that it’s loaded with a ton of toppings.
