Tomato-Cress sandwich

Not really a recipe, but just an awesome combination!

No, i know. This is not really a recipe, but just a great tip for lunch! (or breakfast, or any given time)
Last weekend my friend and i did a 'kids-swop'. She took the boys, i took the girls. (i don't know why i always get the girls, the boys seem so much more relaxed together. Having the girls means lots of arguing, whatever they do, and it retains a lot of patience) Anyway, it was very nice though, because they baked and cooked and ate throughout the weekend. If you forget the arguing, it was nice to watch!

So yesterday we swopped back. And when i arrived at my friends place to give her back her child and to take home mine, the first thing i saw, were five (yes 5!!) jars of mayonaise. I hear you thinking, what the hack is so special about mayonaise? Well,.. if it's the very best mayonaise you've ever tasted, but CAN'T get anywhere in your country, believe me, it makes you smile from ear to ear. At least, that's what happened to me.
For some reason the French 'Maille' Mayonaise, is not for sale in Holland. You can buy many types of mustard from it, in almost every supermarket, but for sure not the mayonaise.
Always, when we go to France in summer, (and often we go together with these particular friends) the first thing we get is our beloved mayonaise, frenchbread and incredibly sweet tomatoes.

So when you eat this sandwhich, you eat a little bit of sunshine and happiness on your bread. At least, again, i do.

Very (really very) tasty Spinach-cheese melt sandwich

Very (really very) tasty Spinach-cheese melt sandwich

Mm, i wasn't sure what to make today, though i had in mind it had to be a sandwich, and so i looked up some old recipes i used to make way back with my brother. The one i remembered was a sandwich with omelette, brie, avocado and coriander. I used to like it a lot, (though it's really the only thing you can eat in a day, due to the high level of calories) and so i decided to give it a shot.

As always, my sweet ega, Nicolaas, is the lucky one to test & taste all my trials, but besides the fact it looked awesome, the combination was way too much. I didn't like him (honestly) telling me that,(seriously, after spending the whole morning doing groceries, making and photographing the whole thing..) and so, out of frustration, i ate the whole thing. I still don't feel well..  If i would make a heavy-eat-as-much-as-you-can-blog, this recipe would be the first to place. And so i won't.

Lucky you! I just gained about a kilo! Anyway, instead, i just thought of what i would like on a sandwich (not that i was going to eat any more) and came up with a terrific, very tasty spinach-cheese melt with goat cheese an the Dutch 'Leerdammer' cheese. It's just a regular cheese with wholes and it tastes a bit bitter. I like it a lot. The combination with fresh spinach, arugula and homemade pesto is great. (i took a bite of Nicolaas, who was very satisfied with his second plate)

I was dubbing about adding tomatoes, but than again, i thought it would be a bit too caprese. But of course, it should taste great as well.

Don't worry, i tried it my self! It's great!
