Veggies

To avoid any tears when slicing onions, stick a piece of bread in your mouth before you start chopping. It does the trick.

Onions

Sweet and delicious. Kiki swears that if you put a piece of bread in your mouth while you’re chopping them your eyes won’t get teary. I’ve tired that trick and it didn’t seem to work for me. Maybe I’m using the wrong brand of bread.

Cucumber Salad

Easy peasy. Sliced cucumbers, red onion, white vinegar, teaspoon of sugar and salt to taste.

Veggie Sandwich

This sandwich is one of our favorite dishes. It’s quite easy to prepare involving only a small amount of preparation.

The red bell peppers are lightly marinated in olive oil, balsamic vinegar, s&p and then roasted in a toaster oven. 

Add tomatoes, avocado, onions and peperonchini or pickles on warm focaccia bread. I add basil for that little extra special flavor.

Enjoy this meal with a Pinot Noir or a hearty Chardonnay.
