we used to go camping every
summer with our grown children, each of us had our own RV.
There are some excellent cooks in our family.
We had lunch and dinner schedules each year taking turns preparing meals
for everyone;
all of us enjoyed some delicious food.
This baguette sandwich recipe is one I always included when it was my turn to treat everyone for
a gourmet lunch.
I marinated the vegetables early in the morning, they were perfect by
lunch time.
The flavor combination of Brie cheese and roasted garlic with marinated
tomatoes in balsamic vinegar is outstanding!
It makes a great sandwich to serve out on your deck or patio or
at a campsite
You've got to try this!
