Thursday Themes




I thought it might be nice to have a theme day. Where I will maybe share a group of recipes, list of helpful links, and topics. With school in session for most I thought it would be nice to talk about sandwich ideas. Sandwiches seem to be a popular lunch choice because they are easy on moms and what kid doesn't like sandwichs...for a little while anyway. Possibilities are endless when it comes to sandwiches. Here are a few Sandwich ideas for you.

breads
whole wheat sandwich bread
whole wheat pita bread
flat bread
wraps
tortillas
pancakes
waffles
English muffins
bagels
matzo crackers
Melba toast

Spreads & fillings
Hummus
Cream Cheese
Cheese/cream cheese spreads
Sun or Nut Butters
Jams & Jellies
Cheeses & sandwich meats
alfalfa Sprouts
lettuce
shredded carrots
cucumbers
pickles
leftover turkey & chicken
egg salad
tuna salad
ham salad
chicken salad


Another thing I have found a great love for is Sandwich cutters and large cookie cutters. It's much more exciting to open you lunchbox to a Sandwich shaped like a heart or a star. I keep the trimmings of the sandwiches for my own lunch at home so their is no waste. Pinwheel sandwiches are also fun for the kids. Experimenting a few days ago I made some pinwheel sandwiches with lemon almond chicken salad (recipe coming soon) and sprouts they where a huge hit. Its so simple to just slather a spread and veggie on a tortilla roll it up and cut into fourths.
