Grilled Nut Butter and Banana Sandwich

Today I was looking for a mid-afternoon snack and I wondered if Bittman ever used Nutella in any of his recipes. I didn't find any Nutella recipes, but I did find this wonderful suggestion: Grilled Nut Butter and Banana Sandwich. This recipe is found in a table called "7 Other Grilled Sandwiches" and it follows the Grilled Cheese recipe. I used normal sandwich bread and Nutella as the nut butter. I also added marshmallows for some extra goodness. The result? Pure goodness. The marshmallows were melted and the bananas and Nutella were warm and delicious! The next time I don't have time to make crepes but I want a sweet snack, I will think of this sandwich.

I never would have thought of grilling my stand-by peanut butter banana sandwich, but after reading this suggestion I can't wait to try it. Adding chocolate chips and marshmallows to that sandwich sounds great too!

Even though I'm not typing out the recipe I'm going to label this as a "full recipe" because if you know how to make a grilled cheese sandwich then you can make this sandwich.

Table: 18 Variations of Vinaigrette

This is a great table for making your own salad dressings. When we buy salad dressing in the store it comes with so many extras including a ton of sugar and even MSG. With just a few ingredients you can make whatever vinaigrette you had your heart set on, without going to the store.

Off of this table I have made the Soy Vinaigrette many, many times. It is great on top of broccoli slaw with nuts and mandarin oranges. When I have it on hand I add the Pampered Chef Asian Seasoning to this vinaigrette for an extra kick.
