I’m really enjoying being a part of the Barefoot Bloggers. The Chinese Chicken Salad we made two weeks ago was a definite winner and the leftover dressing made a very tasty baking sauce for another dish I made this past weekend. This week’s recipe selection was a Croque Monsieur sandwich… something I can honestly say I never in a million years would’ve made on my own. In the spirit of the MasterCard commercials, let me break it down for you…

Gruyere Cheese… $9.49
Parmesan Cheese… $3.79
Black Forest Ham… $6.99
French Bread… $3.49
Honey Dijon Mustard… $3.19

The end result… PRICELESS!!!

This is my first week as a Barefoot Blogger and I have to admit it’s awfully nice. I mean, sure I have a rather singular devotion to the sugar food group but every so often a girl gets a hankerin’ for actual food too :) This week’s selection was chosen by McKenzie of the blog Kenzie’s Kitchen… and what a nice introduction it was to the group. Chicken… asparagus… red peppers… and a tangy asian-style dressing. Definitely a winning combo! (more…)
