...sand-which-es...

The title is a link to a page of sandwich recipes. For example they have ideas like the following...

Open Face Portobello Sandwiches
1 medium tomato, chopped
2 teaspoons snipped fresh basil, thyme and/or oregano
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 medium portobello mushrooms, about 4 inches in diameter
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 of a 12 inch Italian flat bread (focaccia), quartered or 1/2 of a 12 inch thin crust Italian bread shell (Boboli)
finely shredded Parmesan cheese, optional

In a small mixing bowl combine tomato, basil and salt; set aside. Clean mushrooms; cut off stems even with caps. Discard stems. Combine vinegar and oil; gently brush over the mushrooms. Place mushrooms on the unheated rack of the broiler pan. Broil mushrooms 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 6 to 8 minutes or just until tender, turning once.* Drain mushrooms on paper towels. Thinly slice mushrooms. Place bread on a baking sheet. Place under broiler for 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through. To serve, top bread with mushroom slices and tomato mixture. If desired, top with Parmesan cheese.

*Note: If desired, grill mushrooms on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes or just until tender, turning once.



Which sounds yummy! And, then there's others like... Well, here's one that I know my resident bacon lover will appreciate! *L*


Peanut Butter, Apple and Bacon Sandwiches

1/2 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter
4 large slices whole wheat bread, toasted lightly
8 slices bacon, cooked until crisp and drained on paper towels
1 small crisp apple, cored and sliced thin
1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts

Spread peanut butter evenly on bread slices. Layer bacon, apple slices, and sprouts on 2 bread slices and top with remaining bread slices. Makes 2.

Entirely your fault if I drown. Own your responsibility in my sweet and salty demise and all will be forgiven!
