Didn’t it always hit the spot when you were a kid? I recall having a sandwich in my lunch box every day of elementary school, along with a piece of fruit, a canned drink, and something from a Frito-Lay assortment pack. When did sandwiches not constitute a full, real, nourishing meal? Today, I decided to make my sandwich as if I were at a restaurant or deli. Even when you’re preparing food for yourself, presentation can still matter.
I still haven’t been inside a grocery store since the pandemic began, but Amazon Fresh hasn’t let me down yet.
The sandwich:
Arnold whole grains wheat bread, toasted
Hillshire Farms ultra thin sliced, smoked ham and turkey
Taylor Farms Italian blend lettuce
Ken’s honey mustard dressing
Heinz white vinegar
Garlic powder
Black Pepper
Happy Belly Kosher Dill pickle sandwich slices
Vlasic Sweet relish
To wash it down, I made a smoothie with lime juice, grape juice, pineapple slices, and the last of the watermelon I’d frozen in ziploc bags. A little lime Bubly sparkling water gave it a little fizz.
Sometimes, you don’t feel like cooking…and you don’t have to. There have been quite a few days like that throughout the year, but a sandwich requires minimal effort…and the cooler weather is suggesting I should add soups to my next grocery list.🙂
