Everyone loves eating anything BBQ, especially during the summer. I haven’t made this in a while, but have been thinking of making it on a rainy day. This summer we have seen a lot of rain. This open faced BBQ Chicken Sandwich on a baguette is perfect for those rainy summer days. You still get to eat some summer food without having to go grill in the pouring rain!

Potato skins are pretty popular as appetizers at restaurants. Yet, I have never had one at a restaurant. For some reason they don’t look as good as making them homemade.

Most of us don’t think to make marinated olives because we can easily purchase them in store and secondly, we don’t think to marinate them unless there is an occasion for celebration. I do admit, I fall into these two categories.

I made a Fresh Oregano Caprese Salad to go with this recipe I found on Pinterest. Instead of using fresh basil I used fresh oregano leaves, as I had a bunch leftover. I don’t normally purchase fresh oregano. I often use dried oregano for many dishes.
