Monday night dinner

After catching up on errands, Jared and I had to do an impromptu dinner. We have started writing out menus for the whole week to cut down on wasted food and not knowing what to have for dinner and I totally forgot it was Monday! I had to think fast and health and French. We decided on sandwiches, sweet potato fries and salad. The sandwich I made was a recipe similar to one I had at a restaurant in Houston called, Baba Yaga's. Anyone who knows me knows I have a hard time following a cooking recipe and I always end up making my own version, so instead of a baguette, I used a gluten free rosemary focaccia from Whole Foods. The first thing I do is preheat the oven to 400 for the fries. We probably had about 10 fries each. As the fries cook I make my fresh basil vinaigrette (few splashes of balsamic, olive oil, and torn up fresh basil) and let it sit. I cut a good 2 inches of this loaf and split the bread in half. I cut up some herb Brie, thin slices of tomato, roasted turkey, and mixed field greens. With such few fries, they only take 10 mins, which is about the same amount of time it takes me to prep dinner. Once the bread is sliced and the turkey and cheese is put on, I put it in the oven with the broiler on low and let the Brie melt all over the turkey. Once that is done, I spoon out some of my basil vinaigrette onto the Brie, followed by the tomato and then my greens. The salad is easy, I used romaine lettuce mix tonight with red cabbage and carrots. I always make my own dressing. See below for recipe. This sandwich is easy and delicious.

I never use exact measurements with the dressing. It all depends on your own preference. 
This is one of my favorite sandwiches. I hope you enjoy
