recipe
Hannah’s Cucumber Tea Sandwiches
“Yum! I love me a veggie sammich. I used vegan cream cheese, which worked just well. Thanks for sharing! I think this would be lovely on a bagel, as well.”
recipe
Simple Tomato Sandwich
“There needs to be a 10-star rating, because this is just about the most delicious thing I’ve ever shoved in my face. Hellman’s mayo and some salt and pepper and this is just heaven. In my honest opinion, there’s no need to toast the bread, and the whiter and more refined, the better.”
recipe
Bacon & Egg Sandwich
“Great sandwich minus the miracle whip. Used real mayo instead.”
recipe
Peanut Butter & Bacon Sandwich
“Bacon, peanut butter, white bread — how could you go wrong? Even better if you lightly butter the outside of the bread slices and grill like a grilled cheese sandwich.”

recipe
Peanut Butter Fruit Sandwich
“Good toast! I used strawberries and it was delicious.”
recipe

recipe
Easy Egg Salad
“Good basic salad, I like to add horseradish to taste. If your eggs are very fresh, try steaming them instead of boiling — shells will slip right off.”
recipe
Fresh Tomato & Mozzarella Salad
“Very good. This turns out yummy if you just put all the ingredients in a jar with a tight lid like a mason jar and shake it up, let it set for a while and serve. You can use oregano instead, too. Either way it is delicious.”
recipe
Smoked Salmon & Philadephia Sandwich
“Definitely not a boring, same old sandwich. This was awesome! I made this on toasted bread, but next time I’m making this on an everything bagel. The apple slices in this really made it special. I think cucumber slices would work well, too. This works for breakfast, lunch, snack or whenever.”

recipe

I have now had my carbs, fat, and sodium content for the day, but what the heck, you live only once. And it actually is better than the liverwurst and ruffles on Wonder bread I ate as a kid!”
recipe
Elena Ruz Sandwich
“My all time favorite sandwich. Sweet and savory. Can’t beat that combination.”

ABC Sandwich
