The next week or more it is going to be so hot here in Portland. They say 90’s and 100’s the next 8 days. I am not much of a fan of the heat. I broke down and we ordered one of those portable air conditioners - our complex doesn’t allow window air conditioners. It comes Monday ~ Yahoo!! One of the things I don’t want to do is heat up the house by using the oven so I am on the look out for some new sandwich recipes. This week on Home & Family on the Hallmark channel Chef Eric Greenspan made this yummy looking Cuban Reuben.
Home & Family airs weekdays at 10 am ET/PT on the Hallmark Channel.
HERE is the link to the segment with Chef Eric Greenspan making the sandwich and the recipe is below.

Rex says I make the best Reuben Sandwiches I hope he likes this one just as much because it will be dinner one night coming up in the next few days. If anyone has any good ideas for meals on a hot night and I don’t want to use the oven - leave me a comment!
