Not every food of my affection requires a bunch of preparation or fanfare. Sometimes it’s as easy peasy as slapping together a few ingredients in a haphazard way and noshing on the delicious results. No frills, no tricks. Just things I know I like, stacked together in a way I know I like to eat them.
The sandwich pictured above is the pretty little number that developed from a throw-it-together dinner Jared and I had last week. It hardly warrants sharing a recipe (it is just an elevated twist on the traditional BLT), but in case you’re curious about how we doctored it up, here’s the scoop: sourdough wheat bread (toasted is a must), four strips of bacon (generous but essential), Muenster cheese, fresh baby spinach, Roma tomatoes (thickly sliced) and a light slathering of canola mayonnaise (garlic aioli is a yummy option, too).
It is but a sandwich. But what a sandwich it is.
Have you been feeling the sandwich love lately? Do you go the classic route all the way? Or do give your own twist to something traditional? What’s your favorite ingredient to toss in the mix? Do tell!

Have to tell ya- I made your asperagus pasta salad last night and everyone LOVED IT! I barely have enough left over for lunch today. It was so quick (a must in my book) and easy, and most of all MIGHTY TASTY!!! It is now a staple in my book of quick meals– and I can’t wait for lunch today:)
Yay! I’m so glad you all liked it! Those quicky dishes are soooo good to have in the ol’ recipe Rolodex. 🙂
Ugh, I can’t wait for tomatoes to come in season!
I know! We’re so close to the in-season for so many yummy things!!!
Mmm that looks good! I think a cucumber-cream cheese sandwich with fresh dill from my windowsill garden may be in order today 🙂
I’ve always wanted a windowsill garden! How fun to have fresh herbs right at the ready!
