I just found your recipes, and I think I’ve gone to heaven! One question though about the delicious looking Cheesy BLT with Colby Jack and Avocado……you say 1 large piece of Cos…..what is Cos? I’m sorry if I missed something that is quite apparent. Thank you so very much!
Linda
Hi Linda. Glad you are enjoying the site. Cos is the long narrow leaf lettuce. Also called Romaine Lettuce. I love it because one leaf is a perfect size for a sandwich when trimmed and it lies flat.

Thank you Carol, for such a quick response. I’d have never guessed that it was Romaine. I gave my sister your link and I’m sure she will love it as much as I am!
My pleasure!
