The obvious stars of these Avocado, Bacon, and Ham Sandwiches are the crusty, chewy baguette and dry-cured country ham – but the avocado really steals the show. These sandwiches have no cheese, and you’ll never miss it. An easy, but worthy recipe.

Tropical Fruit Salad
Martha Stewart’s Tropical Fruit Salad is made with fresh pineapple, strawberry, lime, and coconut chips. It’s probably the simplest of the Martha recipes I know, but its nonetheless characteristically delicious and distinctive.
Raspberry Rum Shrub Cocktail
The recipe for this raspberry rum shrub cocktail goes back to colonial times. It’s made from fresh fruit, ginger ale, and, uh … vinegar – but don’t let that get to you. It’s an adventure in a Collins glass. Finally! A better answer to “Bring me a shrubbery!”
Foraged Fruit: Wild Blackberry Scones
Recipe review: homemade wild blackberry scones, made with sour cream and butter, from America’s Test Kitchen. You wouldn’t believe what I had to go through to bring you this post. Blackberry canes have thorns, man.
Pretzel Tuna Fish Sandwich
What I learned in college: a can of tuna in oil and some mayo can make a great sandwich. What I learned from My Tartare: tuna fish can be turned into an exquisite tuna salad, quickly and easily. Check out this recipe.
Mushroom Lasagna Bake (It’s spinachy, has a white sauce, and possibly sausage.)
This cremini mushroom “lasagna” with spinach noodles, parmesan, and white sauce – and maybe with sausage – is a riff off of a recipe from Stefan’s Gourmet Blog. It’s delicious fresh, yet reheats beautifully.
Powder-Milk Stove Top Mac & Cheese with Bacon and Beer
This homemade stovetop macaroni and cheese recipe uses a cheese sauce that’s made from powdered milk, cheese, and beer. Two of these items you probably have in your possession. The third, if you simply stocked it, would always be at the ready and would be very handy in a bomb shelter.
Polish Meatballs
This recipe for beef and pork Polish meatballs incorporates just enough kielbasa to give them a distinctly Polish flavor.
