Cuban Sandwich

Supper tonight was a very nice Cuban Sandwich that only took about 20 minutes in the air-fryer.

Hello to everyone. I hope this is a good day for you with everything that is going on in the USA. I hope this will give you an idea for a meal sometime.

To begin with this recipe, I will let you know that I am not very experienced with GOYA MOJO marinade sauce. But my Cuban neighbor brought me over a delicious Cuban Panini Sub the other day and it was the best that I have ever had.

So I went over to surprise him with some cream-cheese danish that were hot out of the oven, he showed me his kitchen which had a huge pork loin that had been roasted and marinated with Adobo sauce. That was what my sandwich was made from.

So I tried to create one, myself. Of course, his was the very best but mine was pretty good also. So this is the recipe that I created.

2 pork-chops soaked in 1/2 cup of Goya Adobo marinade for 4 hours.

Pan Sobao Calientito (Sub-rolls) (Save-A-Lot Grocery Store). Cut 1 roll in half to use for one sandwich.

Put one of the chops in the air-fryer and sprinkle a little accent on it. You could cut the chop in half, horizontal as my chop was thick and I later did this after it cooked. It would have cooked faster.

A thick chop took 20 minutes at 370 degrees in the air-fryer and while cooking that I heated up a cast iron frying pan with 2 1/2 TBSP of butter and sliced one sub roll in half and then sliced it open. I put the bread in the butter and sprinkled some garlic powder on both sides and toasted the bread to a beautiful brown color. Squash the bread down while toasting it in the cast iron frying pan.

I cut up a dill pickle into thin slices and got out the mustard. I used 4 provolone cheese slices cut diagonally. And I microwaved a slice of spiral cut ham. I put 1/2 the cheese on the hot ham and 1/2 the cheese on the hot chop that was sliced to fit every edge of the bread.

After the first chop got done in the air-fryer, I started the second chop in the fryer just the same as the first one. (You do have to flip the chop over at the 10-minute time (Half-time and sprinkle with accent).

As the second chop was cooking for another day’s meal, I put the Cuban sandwich together while using a whole lot of mustard on two different layers and pickles the same way also. I also added an ice-cold coke to go with this meal.

I hope you try this! And if you can stay awhile then please do so. I will post again on Sat-Tue and Thursday and I hope to see you then. Thank you for your visit. #CONNIEBRECIPESWISDOMFORPENNIES

Spinach Pizza

Spinach Pizza Extreme
Cast iron cooked Spinach Pizza Extreme.

I hope everyone is ready for the New Year that is coming in at midnight for North Florida. And I hope that you stay safe.

I am late posting today and I am truly sorry about that. So I will go right into the recipe for today.

This pizza was so good that I did not miss the fact that there was no meat at all on the pizza.

15oz jar of Ragu garlic alfredo sauce. You will only use 1/2 of the jar. And this is salty so do not add any salt to your pizza.

A hand-full of washed and drained fresh spinach leaves.

A bell pepper cut into 1/4 slices. Use only one of the sections cut into small pieces.

A small onion (Use half diced well).

Sautee onion and bell pepper in a dash of olive oil.

A can of black olives (Use 8 olives sliced into rings).

Mushrooms (I used dehydrated) rehydrated a hand-full in water and drained).

Parmesean cheese and Motzerella cheese. ( I grated my motz, frozen and it grated very well. 1 cup will do.

Pizza dough. I have 8 of them left in the freezer from my pizza dough recipe in my archives. If you make my dough recipe, please lower the salt. It made 10 and keeps for 4 months. Or buy or make your own dough for a 12-inch pizza.

Ok, I took my dough out of my freezer and thawed it out. Then I warmed my oven to 200 degrees for 7 minutes and turned it off, I oiled a metal bowl with a little olive oil and turned the dough over and over in the bowl and put it in the warm and turned off oven to rise a little for 1 hour.

I then put a little olive oil in my cast iron frying pan and threw about 1 TBSP of cornmeal into the pan. Put the dough on top of cornmeal and just kept pressing the dough out with my hands into the pan.

Melt a TBSP of butter and add 1/8 th tsp of garlic powder to butter. Butter the crust on outside edges only. Sprinkle edges with parmesean cheese and smear 1/4th of the alfredo sauce over the middle of pizza.

Oven at 425 degrees, and put pizza in to bake until brown. 15-20 minutes. Take out of oven and add the spinach leaves to the pizza, add the cooked onion and bell pepper. Toss on 1/2 of the shredded cheese. Put more alfredo sauce on now. 1/4th of jar.

Add the mushrooms and black olives and toss on the other 1/2 of shredded cheese, Continue baking at 425 degrees for about 13 minutes or until cheese is melted.

I hope you enjoy this one. I, for one will be making this one again. I made this recipe up and I am happy with this one.

Thank you for visiting and do come back for more if you wish. And please do share with your friends. I post recipes on Sat-Tue and Thursday. Connie B. https://www.wisdomforpennies.com

Connie’s Sausage and Egg-Cheese McMuffin

A homemade sausage-egg and cheese McMuffin with mayo.
I call this one, Connie’s sausage-egg and cheese McMuffin.

Hello everyone, I hope this day finds you well as it is a beautiful sky blue day in North Florida today. And the little sparrow birds have already emptied out one feeder and they are working on the second feeder like there is no tomorrow.

But little do they know, there will always be some seed in the storehouse for them!

Today, I wanted to post this little recipe. Now you can always go to McDonald’s and have one of their sausage-egg and cheese McMuffins. But as I have no car, that is not one of my options.

So I create my own sausage-egg and cheese McMuffin. I really enjoy these, once in a while. So on to the recipe.

You will need some patty sausage meat or buy the pre-fab kind. I do not.

2 patties of sausage

2 fried eggs with salt and pepper

2 egg muffins

2 slices of cheese and mayo or your choice of condiment

I used my air-fryer to cook two thick patties of sausage. I used 370 degrees for the temp. setting and put the timer on for 12 minutes. At half-time, I flipped the sausages. And at the last minute of cooking the sausages, I threw on the cheese.

While this was cooking, I fried my eggs in a little olive oil and toasted the two muffins in my red toaster, which makes me think of the old-time dining car restaurants or the old-time cafes, from way back in time.

Ok, so now that everything is cooked, we just assemble our breakfast sandwiches Put mayo on the toasted muffins and then the fried eggs. Next comes the sausage and cheese. Next comes the plate with a glass of orange juice or coffee.

I do so hope that you will enjoy this breakfast sandwich recipe and check out more of my recipes while you are visiting.

I do thank you for your taking the time out of your busy day to stop by. Hopefully, you will come by again as I post on Sat and Tuesday.

BB Pork Sandwich

A very nice and free, appetising lunch from two of my friends.

North Florida is still not cold, today, as I would love to see and feel some awesome coolness in the air. It is not to be! So I will take this day as it is given and find a little joy, within my day.

I am hoping for you all, that you will reach deep, within yourself and find you some of it for you and your’s. And if you just can not reach this pleasure, then God can get you there.

Today’s post is all about gifts of food and coming up with ideas to make it fun. And it worked out, mighty fine and mighty tasty, too. In the morning one of my friends brought over some vegetables and in the afternoon, another friend brought over a fine, roasted and rose-mary, scented half of a pork-loin. I thought hmm, what can I create with these fine gifts of today! So this is what I came up with.

I happened to have some Italian bread and green olives, along with mayo-mustard and bb, sauce. I decided to toast the bread in my bright red, little toaster. It’s smelling good already! Off to a good start. I had already, very slightly heated up the pork-loin in my bright red little microwave.

By the way, can you tell that I like bright red appliances in my little kitchen? Red is a color of happiness, to me. It makes me want to get creative in the kitchen and hey, the color is just, beautiful to me! Ok, let me get back to my 2:00 pm, late brunch/lunch.

On my barbecue pork sandwich, I put some mayo and mustard and barbecue sauce. I sliced up the gifts of the avacado and tomatoes and then I tossed some of my little green olives onto my plate, added some pink salt and freshly ground peppercorns, for my spices. Next I added an ice cold coca-cola to the mix. And I was ready to sample this.

So I turned on an Amazon free movie and sat at my coffee table in the living-room as I truly enjoyed all the different flavors, of my meal. This was a simple meal, but one to remember, as it was that good.

Sorry about my rambling on, but I do have to entertain myself, and this takes a whole lot of whitt, to keep ahead of myself. So I do , stay on my toes, with God’s help, as He is the only one that can understand me.

Pisces are nuts! So I fit the mold very well.

Thank you for stopping by and being a part of my world, you all, really do mean a lot to me! I do appreciate, each and everyone of you! Check the archives for more, and stay a while, if you can. Remember to come back again, just to see, what I’m up to next. I never know myself!

I always post on Tue-Thur and Saturdays. Today is a freebie for you, so you, also have something free. Connie B.

My Chicken Sandwich

A nice sandwich.

Hello everyone. I hope that you had a really nice day today. And I hope it’s even better tomorrow. This day totally slipped away from me, I forgot that it was Thursday! I had Friday on my mind all day long.

Today I want to share my chicken sandwich recipe with you. It really hit the spot, along with an ice cold coke!

1 c Louisiana Air Fryer Seasoned coating mix for chicken

2 eggs mixed with 1/2 c milk

Hamburger bun mayo lettuce if you wish

Use a meat mallet to pound out the chicken breast for quite a while. I could have sliced the breast thinner, but I did not. So beat the heck out of it! Then season it with garlic salt accent and pepper. (White pepper is even better!) I used to work at Wendy’s and prepare the chicken breast for sandwich’s.

Mix the 2 eggs and half cup of milk in a bowl. I cook for only one, so if you have more family then increase the milk to a cup and also the batter to a cup.

Have the seasoned coating mix in a large baggie. Have a little oil on the stove in a cast iron frying pan, it’s the only pan that I will fry in. Have it getting hot on medium heat.

Now you put the beaten and seasoned chicken breast in the wet batter and shake it in the baggie if seasoning to coat. Next You do the wet and then the dry batter again. This is doubled breaded and always makes a difference.

Put in the hot frying pan on medium heat and fry about 5 minutes on first side. Keep watching temp so if you feel that it will burn, turn down the heat. Now flip and cook 5 minutes on other side. After this use a knife to check chicken to see that it is cooked through and done. I have forgotten my minutes but I think it is 5 minutes for each side.

I like to microwave my hamburger bun for 12 seconds or less, so that it is steamed. I used Hellman’s mayo and bread and butter pickles on my sandwich and it was really good with an ice cold coke.

Thank you for visiting and please look around while you are already here so my little blog can grow. Please share this with all your friends also that helps it grow. Please consider coming back as I post on Thursday’s-Saturday’s and Tuesdays. I am really sorry that I’m late today on posting. I do hope that you will make this sandwich!
