After a small break..... V and me are having a tough time figuring out a lot of things. The whole of this week passes in brain storming sessions. Both of us havent been able to relax. V returned from Cleveland and we havent got to spend enough time together nor cook something different. V loves sandwiches and Di threw in her suggestions. V has been having sandwiches for the past 2 days and he says he likes them...
Suggestions from Di

As you can see I just love to cook and eat!!

Sandwiches at home are great with soup, pasta salad, potato salad, macaroni salad, seafood salad or chips and a side of fresh fruit….yummy!

Here’s some ideas and I can explain better if you need it.

Grill Cheese Sandwich

Heat a frying pan or skillet

Butter one side of 2 pieces of bread put at least 2 cheese slices (yellow, white) between bread and fry on both sides until crispy and cheese melts….it looks like toast with melted cheese when done.

I like to separate the sandwich after cooked and add sliced tomato…great warm sandwich.

Cold “Wrap” Sandwich, Pita Pocket Bread, or Croissants

You can use, different lunch meats…turkey, ham, chicken, roast beef or you can even use grilled chicken breast sliced up.

Spread either, mustard, mayonnaise, horadish spread on bread, and lay lunch meat with sliced tomato, lettuce, onion and wrap and eat.

Grilled Ham Sandwiches

Sub buns (long fat hot dog type buns)

Monterey Jack cheese or Swiss cheese

Thousand Island or Russian Salad Dressing

Tomato slices

Leaf Lettuce

Cut ham smaller slices to fit bun and slightly cook them in butter in a frying pan. Once you cooked all the ham you want you put as many slices on the sub bun and add cheese and wrap in paper towel or plastic and microwave to slightly melt cheese. Add dressing, tomatoes and lettuce…mm mm good.

For grilled ham sandwiches you can make these ahead of time and leave in frig for a few days. Put ham and cheese on buns and wrap in plastic wrap or Ziploc bag and when you’re ready to eat you microwave and then add the dressing, tomatoes and lettuce…these are good for lunches too.

Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches are fun. Spread peanut butter (crunchy or smooth) on one slice of bread and add favorite jelly (grape, strawberry, etc) on another slice and put together.

I believe you know how to make the tuna salad, chicken salad and egg salad these are good on wraps, croissants, and even stuffed in pita pocket bread.

FAJITAS are easy good for dinner

Chicken or beef slices

Sour Cream

Taco Sauce (hot or mild)

Onion

Peppers

Lettuce

Tomatoes

Chicken or Beef slices (you can buy fajita meat already cooked in a bag in the frozen food section of the grocery store).

Heat meat in a skillet and then add lots of slices of onion and peppers (green, yellow, red) and fry until slightly soft not mushy.

Spread sour cream on fajita wrap (tortilla) then add meat mixture and lettuce and tomatoes and enjoy!

You can get small tortilla wraps and make these like soft tacos or use the large wrap for a burrito. Lipton’s has a pretty good Spanish Rice for a side dish and it’s easy to prepare and only takes about 7 minutes to cook.
