I sometimes make big submarine sandwiches for our dinner and we all love them..


Take a loaf of your favorite bread (I just love sourdough) and slice all the way down, so you have two halves, I pull the bread out of one side, not hallowing it out, just getting the bread ready to make the bed of stuff I lay inside.





I use any combination of the following list - ALWAYS using Italian salad dressing on side of the bread, mayo on the other, totally optional though - but the italian dressing makes it taste like a caterer made it and not me!~


Ham


Roast Beef


Salami


Capicola


Pastrami


Cheddar - sharp, mild, smoked, whatever you want


Havarti


swiss


Red Onions


Sliced Bell Peppers


Pickles


Lettuce


Pickles


Jalapenos - or other sandwich peppers from a jar


olive tapenade or Olives


Olives





I make any combination and our family loves it - they are great to take to ball games, car races, horse races, wherever you want, and we love them in warm weather!

Shrimp and Crab Salad





Use cooked shrimp and good crab like ';Blue Star';. Place it on bed of greens, garnish with blanched asparagus, roasted red bell pepper, a little brown rice and artichoke hearts. Serve with a Lemon Aioli
Great big Salad with chopped cooked meat, cheese cubes, artichoke hearts, tomatoes, hard cooked eggs, celery, green onions, grated carrots, cukes, black olives,sliced sweet red and yellow peppers, and crushed Original Doritos, OR, chopped Browned (Roasted) Pecans for the great crunch.


Toasted and buttered garlic Bread on the side.


(We do it like this....toast the bread in the toaster, spread with butter, sprinkle garlic powder nicely over that.....that's it..) No hot oven.
You could do a salad with chicken (can buy it in the store already cooked and seasoned), put lots of veggies on it. You can serve it with bread.
Hey,





Chicken salad:





Cook and chop some nice chicken and add to a bowl of lettuce and tomatoes (salad basically), and add 1 tbsp -or more- of mayo or salad cream. You could replace the chicken with prawns or turkey etc.

Try a cold chicken salad with boiled and shredded chicken, lettuce, jalapeno peppers, green olives, cherry tomatoes, dressed with mayo, lemon juice, salt n pepper and cayenne for some spice....or maybe even italian dressing...





You could also go with a grilled chicken sandwich with mayo and bacon.....a healthier option would be cucumber and tomato slices with sour curd....





Or a cucumber soup is also a good option...blend it along with salt n pepper, garlic cloves, onion powder, green chillies......
