5 Colorful Tartines to Make for Lunch This Week
Come lunchtime, do as the French do and turn your everyday sandwich into a colorful tartine! These versatile open-faced sandwiches are all about the presentation, so you should feel free to get creative with the toppings. The key is a good piece of bread, a creamy spread, a protein of your choosing and then a flourish of fresh vegetables or herbs. They’re fun to make and even more fun to eat. Find five recipes to get you started HERE.

Tanji’s Dine Finds: Tony’s BBQ
Texas is known for its superb barbecue, so if you’re tasting your way around the state be sure to add Tony’s BBQ to the top of your list! The saucy ribs, tender brisket and smoked turkey are all cooked over aromatic South Texas hickory. Check out one of their 10 locations around Houston and Southeast Texas and plan your visit HERE.
Tanji’s Wine Finds: Settesoli Red Blend
Perfect for sipping during dinner and through dessert, the Settesoli Red Blend ($13) is one of Tanji’s favorite reds for entertaining. It has enough acidity to carry a lot of dishes like chicken and this Spice-Crusted Pork Tenderloin, but it also pairs well with chocolate. Plus, with the low price tag, it’s worth buying a case. Find it at your local H-E-B now!
