aka – there really is no substitute for natural light
Glimpses shared with Lotus’ Weekly Winners Weekly Photography Link Up
Wednesday I shared my absolutely tonguegasmic Toasted Mini Baguettes with Turkey, Swiss Cheese and Caramelized Onions recipe that I created using Sister Schubert’s new Mini Baguettes, and in November I shared the Turkey Salad Stuffed Soft Pretzel Rolls Recipe with y’all.
Today, along with the fabulous people at Sister Schubert’s, I’m thrilled to announce that two of y’all have the opportunity to WIN a Sister Schubert’s gift basket of deliciousness.
Included in this goodie basket
Y’all – I drooled all over this cookbook, the pictures are GORGEOUS
and the recipes… oh. my. word. y’all! NOM NOM NOM
There are recipes for Sausage Rolls, that Pound Cake pictured up there, Mama’s SourDough Bread, White Chocolate Banana Roll Pudding and even one called The Best Appletini. I could (and have) spend hours looking through this cookbook, reading the recipes, drooling over the photographs and reading Sister’s notes.
Scattered throughout the book are anecdotes, tips, hints, and even do’s and don’ts from Sister herself – I can easily see this cookbook being a wonderful wedding gift, birthday present, or a just because gift for any budding chef in your life.
I have never made any sort of homemade bread (and why would I need to when I can buy hers and they are SO SO SO good) however this book makes is inspiring me to put that on my MUST DO in 2012 list!
So here’s the deal – want to win this goodie basket of deliciousness (of course you do!)

Whenever we go out to eat and a bread basket is placed on the table, I will inevitably grab the baguette.
The crispy on the outside, soft, warm, and yeasty on the inside baguette – baguettes are one of the few breads whose siren song I am simply unable to resist.
When the wonderful people at Sister Schubert’s contacted me about sampling two of their new products – The Soft Pretzel Rolls and ding ding ding! their new Mini Baguettes well, let’s just say I was more than a bit delighted. I’ve been a Sister Schubert’s fan for years.
I have talked about them quite a bit in the past, both sponsored and not.
I received bags of both the Soft Pretzel Rolls and the Mini Baguettes to sample, use in recipes or as accents to recipes and well… ummm… they were so good that I had to ask them to send me another bag of each because we kind of devoured them before I had time to y’know — create recipes around them or photograph them. (oops).
I did finally manage to use some and get photographic evidence of them before they hit our tummies! Find out how I use the Pretzel rolls to make Turkey Salad Stuffed Soft Pretzel Rolls
For the Baguettes – which honestly are perfect completely all on their own, torn and swirled in roasted garlic olive oil dipping sauce or pretty much any way you like – I decided that they would make the most wonderful toasted sandwiches, and I was right!
Let me introduce y’all to these delightfully simple to make, yet wonderfully delicious
.
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, I melted 4 Tbsp (1/4 C) butter and added one sliced medium sweet yellow onion.
While the butter and heat worked their magic on the onion, I heated up the Mini Baguettes (2) and sliced some of our leftover Turkey – I used my Poblano and Citrus Roasted Turkey recipe.
When the baguettes and the onions were ready I got a slice of Swiss Cheese and laid it out with the rest of the ingredients
I sliced open both baguettes and drizzled the delicious butter and onion sauce from the pan onto the bread
After I drizzled the inside of both the top and bottom of each baguette, I placed sliced turkey on the bottom half of the baguette and topped the turkey with caramelized onions and placed a slice of swiss cheese on the other piece of mini baguette.
I placed these sandwich halves on a cookie sheet facing up and placed them in a 375 F oven for about 7 minutes – until the cheese was melted
I added fresh sliced avocado to my sandwich
YUM YUM YUM
and left Nathan’s as it was.
The resulting sandwiches were…
Well – in a word – Tonguegasmic.
Sadly, the mini baguettes are not available near me yet, however I can order them online from Sister Schubert’s and you can bet your sweet bippy that I’m going to be ordering several bags.
