I have wanted to do a "magazine" themed menu for a while now, meaning that I am going to take recipes from the magazines that I get each month for my weekly plan. Since the majority (99%) of my shopping has been at Aldi, I can safely do that as I'm not depending on sales to plan the week's meals. How refreshing!
I am posting this at orgjunkie.com.......lots of others do too, so its a great resource for ideas. Thanks for stopping by today and here goes.

Remove and drain on paper towels reserving 2 tsp drippings in skillet. Saute mushrooms and onion in drippings until tender. In a large bowl, beat eggs until foamy.

In a large skillet, cook onions in oil over low heat for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, place the cream cheese, ricotta cheese, olives and garlic in a food processor. Cover and process until blended. Spread over baguettes. Layer bread bottoms with roast beef, peppers, artichokes, and caramelized onions; replace tops. Cut each into six slices.
