Here we go sweet treats, here we go! *Clap*Clap*

We enjoyed this Bananas Foster cupcake from Toasted Mallow. It is a perfect dessert for your Saints game day!

This season, I will be making vegetable-based dishes inspired by NFL cities. I will also be sharing stadium eats.


For kickoff, I am going back to my sandwich loving roots and creating a twist on a New Orleans classic.


Hut hut!


Vegetarian Muffaletta Sandwich



Round Bread (I grabbed a Tuscan Boule from Publix)

2 types of cheese

Red Onion Slices

Artichoke hearts

Olive Tapenade

Sundried Tomatoes

Seedless cucumber slices

Portobello mushrooms (slices, cut out the gills, saute in a little olive oil and cajun seasoning)

Balsamic glaze





Vegan cheese-good, not great. Nothing beats the real deal.


This recipe is all about quality ingredients. Then, it is just a matter of sandwich assembly. I would recommend putting a layer of cheese on the top and the bottom, so that the juices from all of the other ingredients don't soggify (I'm coining that term) the bread.








The only thing I would change? It maybe needed a little more crunch, as most of the ingredients were similar in texture. I would also add a little spice or pepper next time and keep layering; the bread to ingredients ratio was a bit off. (My carb-loving husband thought it was great!)


I hope you, your team, and your kitchen have a great season!


Have a Saints-style recipe? Shoot me a link and I will add it to the bottom of this post.

It's nacho time to shine, Saints. I love all of the spicy goodness that comes along with Cajun cuisine. Check out these flavorful individual nachos for your next game day party!

The Falcons beer is trying to intimidate those Saints Nachos.

A plethora of spicy and delicious dishes await you when you desire a taste of the Big Easy.

Sometimes we just cheat and go to our favorite Louisiana-style restaurant, Cajun Cafe on the Bayou.

When we cooked in honor of New Orleans, it was with tasty results. Jambalaya, Hurricanes, Cajun Cornbread, and Bananas Foster at halftime.
