LaxMom Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hummus and veggies on pita? Grilled cheese? Salmon salad? (that's what the kids had for lunch today) Burritos? Egg salad? Peanut butter (or almond) and apple (or pumpkin) butter? One of my favorites, since I was a kid, is spinach, havarti and sprouts on whole grain, preferably with Honey Cup or some other spicy honey mustard.

pmurphy Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Avocado, cucumber, tomato, and mayo. Peanut butter and pickles. Tricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialmama Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Tuna melt! Quick and yummy! For extra zip, throw some dill in your tuna, with or without lemon seasoning! Alphalpha sprouts add some dimension. As do different sandwich spreads. Try toasting your bread. Try cutting on the diagonal if you're used to cutting horizontal. Cucumber and mayo with salt and pepper: that's my fave summer sandwich. Also bagels with cream cheese. I get plain cream cheese and spice it up myself with dried onion, garlic, basil, etc. Add a splash of Worchestershire (sp?) sauce and a smaller splash of lemon juice, mix it up an voila, your own yummy cream cheese. My hubby goes to the super market at 7 am on Saturdays and buys all kinds of fancy buns and breads that we normally couldn't afford. The deli clears them out for 50 cents per bag. Call your deli and find out if and when they do this, sometimes changing up your bread does a world of good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Tuna melt! Quick and yummy! :iagree: On toasted or buttered & grilled bread, tuna salad, slice of cheese, and a slice of tomato. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 PB & banana (already mentioned) tomato & cheese cream cheese & sunflower seeds (good on toasted bread, esp. whole grain or raisin bread) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katemary63 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I add sliced cukes to ANY sandwich to make it crunchy. We eat a lot of egg salad since duck eggs make the BEST egg salad and we have a LOT of those laying around. Literally! Chicken salad is great. We get the large canned white meat chicken from Sams and run it though the processor with mayo and other stuff and make a spead out of it. Add cukes and lettuce to that and its delicious. Of course my favorite all time sandwich is BLT with butter and mayo, but....that's not all that good for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adams101 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 bologna, cheese, a little mayo, and some relish. Put in food processer until it is mixed together (not too long or you will have mush). It makes a good sandwich, or a great dip for crackers. I know it isn't the healthiest, but it is good for a change every once in a while. It is even better the next day!

Dirtroad Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 bacon, lettuce & tomato on toast (yummy) DD loves peanut butter & strawberry cream cheese Fresh, ripe Tomato with light salt & pepper with mayo FRIED peanut butter & banana chicken salad with almonds & grapes in it bagels with grilled strips of chicken, tomato, & a bit of oil & vinegar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 BLTs are nice, and very quick if you've cooked up a batch of bacon and frozen it. Then you can pull out just the slices you need. Since it's grilling season, you might try grilling some chicken breasts. Grilled veggies make good sandwiches, too. Greek salad stuffed into a pita. Chicken salad a million ways -- spicy, chinese, mexican, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 We've been enjoying liverwurst sandwiches (yes, even my kids ;)), and when it's cold we like grilled cheddar sandwiches on rye with tomato soup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) We like: fried bologna, grilled cheese with different cheeses(we prefer colby/jack cheese), BLT, tomatoe sandwhiches are really good, fried or scrambled eggs with peppers, onion and a dash of tabasco, cut up extra chicken add in celery, grapes, mayo for chicken salad or ham for ham salad, pimento spread. Besides fried bologna my kids eat lunch meat w/o bread just meat and cheese rolled up. Edited June 8, 2009 by lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialmama Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 ooo I forgot one more thing! Olive tapenade is sooo yummy! It's salty, so don't add any other salt. Try spreading the tapenade (or pesto or salsa!) on ciabatta or any sturdy thick bread, add lettuce or sprouts, a slice of grilled meat (turkey or chicken breast is good!) and then melt a piece of cheese on top. Provolone is a great melting sandwich cheese! OK I'm hungry now! :drool5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 My kids' favorite sandwiches are toasted/grilled. They also like anything if it's in a hotdog bun just because it's different than regular bread. Spag sauce, pepperoni, cheese (also good on bagel or english muffin) Chicken or turkey or ham w/cheese and BBQ sauce (also good on tortilla) Bacon and egg in tortilla I like hummus and veggies in a tortilla Another of my faves (no one else's, but I ate this as a kid) . . . banana & mayo!

Plucky Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Egg salad or tuna salad with lots of tuna, eggs, pickles, onions, chopped up lettuce, yum. Switch up the breads,too. Try whole wheat sub bread, pita, tortillas, bagels. Get english muffins and let the kids make mini-pizzas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
