Tony and I try to avoid travel around busy holiday weekends. Instead, we use the down time to get organized, and I usually try a fun new recipe or two that I’ve seen online or in a magazine. This time, I think a grilled portobello sandwich is on the agenda. I recently discovered a delicious, dairy-free sourdough duo at Trader Joe’s that you partially bake at home. And those mini baguettes offer the perfect size and California-inspired flavor for this easy recipe.
