Do you ever have your mom come for a visit and get so caught up in the fun you're having that you forget that the world hasn't stopped turning and you still need to blog? I do. I blame the Olympics. And ice cream.
And mom (love you!). It's been fun to watch the athletes while eating a big bowl of ice cream. I totally make myself feel superior because they probably can't eat a cookie without feeling guilty.
Sadly, my good feelings are gone after about 30 seconds when I realize that no matter how I try, I will never be able to stick a landing on a double-twirly-somersault-thing(technical term) no matter how I try. Turns out I can't eat a guilt-free cookie either. Eh. Here are the killer easy french dip sandwiches that I promised on Friday. They are quick, easy, and literally can be on the table in 15 minutes (if you make the aioli ahead of time).
EASY FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES
When choosing what kind of deli roast beef to use, I feel like it's worth spending a few extra dollars to get a good quality meat; it will make a difference. The real deal maker with these sandwiches is the lemon-garlic aioli. The lemon brightens the otherwise super-savory meat and just rounds out the whole sandwich.
The recipe calls for beef consomme. You can find it in the soup aisle and I like to use it in place of beef broth for this as it has a more intense flavor and lacks the sometimes tinny aftertaste the broth can have.
These would make a perfect meal to go along with your Olympic game viewing. Add some ice cream to the mix and you have quite the guilt-inducing par-tay! Yeehaw!
