Something Special for the writers/artists/journalers/hopeless romantics in your life

Want to make something awesome for someone? How about a book! This is a pretty inexpensive gift, both for time and money. I think this took me all told about 3 hours, and that included taking pictures and so forth. Cost is somewhere in the range of $20-30.

Buffalo Blue Cheese Chicken Sandwich


This is one of my favourite sandwiches to make. Spicy yet creamy with a bit of crunch. Here's what you'll need:


  • 1 can (345 g) Kirkland chicken breast (or if you feel inclined... 1 chicken breast chopped up finely should do)
  • 1-2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 of a red onion
  • 1/2 of a red pepper
  • 2 tbsp blue cheese dressing
  • 2 tbsp Franks Red Hot Sauce (3 if you like things spicy)
  • Your favourite bread or buns
And here is how to put all this deliciousness together:
  1. Cut red pepper and red onion into small squares. Keep em separated.
  2. Put some olive oil in a pan on medium heat. 
  3. When oil has heated up throw in the red pepper.
  4. After the peppers have started to soften (2-3 minutes) throw in the onions
  5. Cook together for 1-2 minutes. 
  6. Put chicken into a container with peppers, onion, blue cheese dressing, and hot sauce. Mix it up.
  7. Place liberally on your favourite toasted bread or bun. Top with thin sliced dill pickles to add some extra flavour to the dish. Enjoy!
