My daughter and son in law came by tonight just before dinner.

Angie was making one of our new favorites...margherita chicken....which is becoming one of their fav's too..

anyway we got to talking about "family" favorite meals...and how my son called a few days ago for Angie's tomato/bacon/basil pasta recipe and how my daughter and son in law eat it at least once a month....

which lead to....

one of our favorite sandwiches which we "forgot" to make all summer...

Grilled chicken ~ whole wheat bun ~ bacon ~ lettuce ~ red onion ~ tomato ~ honey mustard dressing ~ guacamole....YES!!!

So....what is your favorite sandwich?....are you willing to share?

Hmmmm. My favorite good for me sandwich would have to be whole wheat braed or bun, laughing cow light cheese (1 wedge), spring mix lettuce, onion, tomato, dill pickle, cucumber, sweet peppers, and a little bit of jalepenos. Now, my no so good for you sandwich would be corned beef on rye grilled with swiss cheese and spicy mustard, so tasty, but so salty.

Ricotta cheese, grilled portabello mushroom, roasted red pepper, and spinach on a crunchy bread. It just makes me happy.

pretty hard to beat whole grain bread, cheese, a couple tomato slices and a couple basil leaves grilled summer perfection!!

i also make a killer sandwich with bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheese, cucumber, sprouts, avocado... so many veggies you could slap on there! sliced mushrooms maybe? I usually make that one into a pannini on the old george foreman grill - only think i use it for anymore. lol.

oh wait! I thought of another one that I started making to kill some of our cravings for fast food. I make two variations- teriyaki chicken and philly cheese steak using the same method - I saute onion and garlic in my wok (peppers too if i'm doing the philly), then add my sliced deli meat- when it's all heated through and looking yummy I put a slice of cheese- usually swiss or provlone something light -over each serving - then put it on my sandwich roll and yum! the chicken one gets a splash of teriyaki sauce before i place the cheese on it.

Awesome ladies....

LIZZIE...I'm coming over for lunch!!!

My favorite is grilled onion, zucchini, yellow squash,garlic, mozza cheese in a lightly toasted whole wheat pita. Yumm!!!

some pesto, fresh roasted red peppers and some low fat feta or mozzarella cheese , gotta be careful not to overdo it with the pesto.

Sourdough bread, sharp cheddar cheese, homegrown tomato slices, couple pieces of crisp bacon. May not be the healthiest, but so good!

Avocado and mustard :-)

My absolute favorite: wheat bread, a very garlicky hummus, bacon, sprouts, dill pickles, and pickled sweet peppers.

If you want some fantastic sandwich ideas, take a look at this menu:

I haven't had a bad sandwich from that place yet, and between my husband and I, we're slowly working our way through the entire menu, lol. They come up with some really creative stuff.

2 slices of soy bacon, 1/2 a tablespoon of vegan mayo, mustard, and 1/2 an avocado all toasted together on the stove.

I'm drooling just writing this out:

Focaccia or ciabatta bread, prosciutto, asiago cheese, arugula, topped with fig jam.

I wish we had that sandwich place here MAYNESS!...maybe if there are any in "the city" my step-d can bring me one when she comes home for Christmas. We do have Gandolfo's Deli less than 2 miles from me...they are all New York...http://www.gandolfosdeli.com/

You gals are really giving Angie and I some great ideas....

Here is another one she mentioned...not too healthy though...we have been grilling the Brownsville Bratwurst we get from Costco, placing them on a Kaiser roll with 1,000 Island Dressing and sauerkraut....yum-o...as Rachael says...

My all-time favorite sandwich

Peanut Butter (ground from a machine at Whole Foods)
