I have an extensive collection of Rachael Ray cookbooks. I’m not entirely sure how this happened, but I suspect it has something to do with a Christmas gift I received back in 2006. I had an aunt that bought the most awesome gifts (her taste in clothes for me skewed old, but that’s what store credit is for!) and she bought a Rachael Ray book for me for that Christmas.
Unfortunately, she died on Christmas Eve of that year, so it wasn’t until a few months later when I was given the Christmas gifts she’d purchased for me beforehand. This book was one of them.
I wasn’t going for macabre in this post, but the point is, I have a ton of Rachael Ray cookbooks for no real reason except that I received a gift from beyond the grave that inspired them, and from that, I bought Rachael Ray 2, 4, 6, 8: Great Meals for Couples or Crowds.
I picked this book for the week I did because Dennis was out of town. I figured that the meals for 2 could easily be converted to meals for 1, or I could use the leftovers for lunch the next day.
This first recipe I halved for myself, but I’m putting the amounts you’d use if you were making two.
It looks like a complicated recipe, but it’s really not. Just make sure you read through the directions before starting so you know what’s going where when. In my case, I thought this made 2 whole sandwiches and the egg and sauce went on top — as it turns out, it’s supposed to be an open-faced sandwich. Oh well. More carbs for me!
Serves 2 (I made 1)
