I don’t know about you, but I am a sandwich person.
One of my top 5 of my favorite sandwiches would be this amazing smoked salmon bagel sandwich.

I devour it and to be honest, I could never become tired of eating this kind of sammie. I called this a lazy Friday dinner because it was quick and no cooking required, but everyone loved it. It is perfect any day of the week as well as for parties.

They are in a way fancy, but not really if you know what I mean?! I am just in love with this delightful sandwich so that’s why I’ve decided to share it here on my blog.

Of course, creating a sandwich is something that should be personalized. I love building it myself, as for the rest of my fab family, I ask what they want because we are pretty darn serious when it comes to building a sandwich.

Sometimes, I would just display or set it on the cutting board,  sort of like a charcuterie board so they could build their bagel sandwiches. Lately, we have been enjoying those very much, and let me tell you, we all love it. 

Well, I just love making this for my family and I hope you will try to make it too.

Smoked Salmon Bagel Sandwiches

Prep Time 15 minutes

Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Bagel 6 oz.
• 1 tablespoon whipped cream cheese split in half
• 1 teaspoon chives chopped
• 1/2 Avocado thinly sliced
• 3 ounces thin-sliced smoked salmon
• English cucumber or mini cucumbers thinly sliced
• Fresh Organic Spinach or lettuce

Other additions

• Red onion
• Drained Capers
• Fresh Dill
• Za’atar

Instructions

1. SLICE bagel in half horizontally. Mine was presliced, so I just carefully separated both pieces.
2. Spread BOTH sides with cream cheese and sprinkle with the chopped chives.
3. Over cheese on 1 bagel half, layer English cucumber or mini cucumber, thinly sliced avocado, smoked salmon, spinach – now, it is a good time to add other additions such as red onion and/or capers.
4. Set remaining bagel half, cream cheese side down, over-filling.

Notes

You can personalize it however you would like. I love adding capers and red onion, not in the pic, but it’s fantastic. You can also try it with chives cream cheese or sprinkle fresh chives like I did because chives give extra flavor and complement salmon very well.

Smoked salmon is also your personal preference. Most of the time I am using Alaskan Smoked Salmon.

You have a couple of choices, of course for bagels. The one that I am using is an “Everything pre-sliced bagel”, and I like the regular size for my family unless it’s a party, then I am using mini bagels.

Beef Taco Sliders are quick, easy and tasty sandwiches that you can make in no time. They are absolutely perfect for any potluck, party, as well as Superbowl gathering.

Alright, boys and girls, let’s talk…

You know when 5 PM hits the clock and you know that you should probably start preparing dinner?

However, you find yourself either on Pinterest or Instagram, liking pictures or re-pinning.

Maybe, just maybe you have one more life left on any Saga game and you just need to pass that level to get the gold package or whatever.

Then all of a sudden before you know it, it’s past 6?!

Did you find yourself in that situation, like ever? Well, I am so sure you did! I know that I found myself more than one time.

I jumped like somebody poured cold water over my head. Dinner is not done, bread is still rising in the bowl and I had nothing cooked.

We had some toast, cheeses, salami, eggs, and salad, But, no, my family is too cool to eat that for dinner.

So, my lovelies, I did what I do the best especially under pressure… Get a large pepperoni pizza! LOL! I’m just playing with you guys.

I pulled these two packs of Hawaiian Buns that were in my pantry, still in my grocery bag, from 3 days ago.

Sauteed ground beef, and less than 30 minutes later, we had on the table this AWESOME dinner. Oh, man! It was drool-worthy.

Now, hear me out. Football season is around the corner, summer lake parties, potlucks, you name it so these are perfect. One of my teenager’s favourite party food.

I made them many times when we have cheeseboards, or over lazy weekends when I really don’t feel like cooking. Serve them with a bowl of greens and voila. Fast and easy homemade dinner.

It is that time of the year when Superbowl parties are planned here in the USA. So these Twice Baked Potatoes with Chicken are a must make.

We do not host big parties. It is usually just five of us with plenty of good food;

Pizzas, Enchiladas, sandwiches or sliders, delicious chicken, dips, and these potato boats will make an appearance on our little Superbowl party table.

These potatoes were fantastic. Usually, I would add a bit of hot sauce because I like them a bit spicy, but even without the little heat, these are just perfect.

I serve them with sour cream and some extra scallions. Oh, they were gone from the large serving plate in a few minutes. You cannot really stop at one half, but you be the judge.

We love them any time of the year, especially during parries. However, making them for sporting event party is just amazing.

I am thinking these would be absolutely phenomenal after Thanksgiving. If you have any veggies and turkey leftover, add it to the potato mixture.

You can’t really go wrong with it because they are super simple and easy. I hope you will enjoy them as much as we did.

Twice Baked Potatoes with Chicken

An easy and tasty recipe for Twice Baked Potatoes with Chicken

Prep Time 15 minutes

Bake Time 1 hour 10 minutes

Total Time 1 hour 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 5 Russet Potatoes washed & scrubbed clean (2-3 lbs.)
• 1 cup Shredded Chicken Breast cooked; roasted/baked/pan-fried
• 2 Green onions sliced
• 2-3 tablespoons Sour Cream
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 Fl. Oz. = 1/4 cup= 60 ml Milk
• 1 cup Cheddar shredded + for topping
• ½ cup Monterey Jack Cheese shredded + for topping
• Freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400F
2. Wash and scrub clean potatoes. Line the potatoes on the baking pan and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour at 400F (200C). When the toothpick goes in smoothly, it means they are cooked. Also, when you touch the potatoes, they should feel softer on the inside. Be careful not to burn yourself.
3. Cut the potatoes in half, and carefully spoon it out in the bowl. Scrape it, and try not to break the skin.
4. Chop the green onions, and add to the potatoes.
5. Season it with Crushed Chili Flakes, Salt and Pepper to taste.
6. Add Sour Cream, Milk, Butter.
7. Add (cooked) chicken breast. Try to shred it with your hands and make smaller pieces.
8. Add Cheeses
9. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Packed them with the mixture, as much as it fits. (You can bake leftover mixture on the side with more cheese, like a mini casserole)
10. Sprinkle with more cheese. Add as much or little that you want.
11. Bake the potatoes again for 10 to 12 minutes at 400F (200C) or until the cheese is completely melted.
12. Serve the potatoes with sour cream or your favorite dip.

Notes

Shred both kinds of cheese, or get already shredded one, and mix them together. Make sure to have enough for topping. You will need a little less than a ½ cup to sprinkle on top of the potatoes before baking. You can certainly use any cheese that you prefer or like, or perhaps have on hand.

I think cheddar is quite amazing and compliments potatoes very well. You can also add hot sauce to the mixture, like a buffalo sauce or sriracha. The chicken could make a potato mixture pretty dry, so make sure to add that butter and sour cream as well as milk to keep it from drying.
