Sometimes You Just Want a Sandwich

January 6, 2010 by Julie 15 Comments

I often prep my lunch and Ryan’s lunch for the following day while dinner is cooking at night. I kill two birds with one stone and have an activity to keep my attention so I don’t hover over the dinner pan and sneak bites every 1.5 seconds.

Yesterday I was making Ryan’s typical lunch sandwich. He always eats a chicken, turkey or ham sandwich or a salad for lunch, so his meals come together in a flash since I don’t really put too much thought into what he’d want to eat. He can eat the same food day in and day out.

I like a little more variety, but yesterday his simple chicken sandwich called to me. “Eat me, Julie!” (It really said that. Honest.)

Easy, peasy lunches are great and sandwiches are a personal fav.

Though I generally prefer subs to a plain ol’ sandwich, today this simple sandwich suited me perfectly.

Simple Chicken Sandwich

I topped an EarthGrains whole wheat “Thin Bun” with:

  • Deli-sliced rotisserie chicken
  • Plum tomato
  • Spinach
  • Spicy mustard
  • Laughing Cow light Swiss cheese

Tomato Topper

Open-Faced Sandwich

Wednesday's Lunch

The EarthGrains Thin Bun was tasty! I think I prefer Arnold sandwich thins because they’re more doughy, but I love this lil’ quote from EarthGrain’s Web site:

“Sometimes it’s not what you put in, but what you leave out.”

They’re all about all-natural products and I think the above quote says a lot. Yay for simple,tasty food!

What’s your favorite kind of sandwich?

I tend to order roast beef subs and sandwiches when I’m getting a sandwich at a restaurant or deli. I adore French dip sandwiches (I get this from my mom). If you’re a French dip-lover and are ever in Orlando, you must go to Houston’s. Their French dip sandwich is $18 and worth every penny.

Of course I also love the ol’ sand by: peanut butter and jelly.

    My fav ‘sandwich’ is a crispy French baguette with brie, tomato and fresh basil. I could eat it every day! πŸ™‚

    I LOVE sandwiches! I love turkey and cheddar best! So good! But…I will admit to LOVING peanut butter and swiss cheese sandwiches too. I was craving both one day and decided to mix them on a sandwich! (but you HAVE to use the REAL swiss) and it was tasty! Even my mom is a believer!

    Sometimes simple is perfectly OK.

    I love basic turkey sandwiches. I don’t many types of lunch meat but I could eat turkey every day.

    I love sandwiches, theyre actually my favorite food. My boyfriend argues that sandwiches arent a food, theyre a combination of FOODS – but so is lasagna and no one argues if you say thats your favorite food!
    I put everything and anything I can think of into sandwiches.
    My favorite though is probably bocconcini cheese, pear, cilantro and spinach. Its SO good!

    I eat an Arnold’s Whole Wheat Sandwich Thin every single day! My favorite combos are Vegan Boca Burgers or Morning Star Tomato Basil Burgers (thanks to you!) with soy cheese and romaine lettuce. I also enjoy turkey breast with soy or 2% cheese sandwiches!
