Welcome to Sarah's Adventures in Culinary Experimentation

This blog is for posting recipes I've experimented with while teaching myself to cook. Some I have taken from my favorite recipe books, others are purely my own experimentations. My audience is usually just my husband, my toddler daughter, and I and we are living on a tight budget. Sometimes you might find a splurge.

Hopefully you'll find something here that you like!

  • 2 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced jalapenos

  3. Mix well so that everything is coated relatively evenly.
  4. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
  5. After 1 hour, pull out of the oven and turn the oven up to 350.
  6. Mix the mixture and then layer the top with the grated Parmesan cheese, then the diced fresh tomatoes, then top with the cilantro.
  7. Recover with foil and cook for another hour.
  8. Slice a V in the tops of the subs and fill from the top to reduce spill.
