The sausage and pepper sandwich is the kind of classic combo that will never go out of style and is always delicious. Because it’s such a simple sandwich, you can easily tweak it in any number of ways.

The days have been rainy in New York, but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming of summery picnics in the park. My apartment is close enough to a park that I can go on a whim, but far away enough that once I get there, I can’t return home for a snack. [click to continue…]
