Oooh Sandwiches are Beautiful (Giveaway)

Tweet var fbShare = {size: ‘small’,}

We have sandwiches quite frequently in our home.  They aren’t usually anything fancy, a hoagie bun topped with deli meat and some cheese – sometimes an unusual mustard makes the cut, but still it’s a simple meal we all enjoy.

When I make them, I flashback to my elementary school days when the Canadian children’s singer Fred Penner, made his rounds to local schools and sang catchy little tunes, like Bob King’s “Sandwiches are Beautiful”…and so I sing while I make our sandwiches.

My daughter thought I made the song up, she didn’t really believe that it was a real song, and then I found this fun mashed clip on YouTube with her favorite Disney toons – the Lilo and Stitch gang – singing MY sandwich song.

In any case – what makes an Ultimate Sandwich?  For everyone it’s different.  I’m not overly good at “making up recipes”.  I have no problems following them or tweaking them to our specific tastes but coming up with a wholly original one, isn’t really my thing.  An old standard on the back of a frozen chicken breast patties bag has become my “ultimate” sandwich taste.

Total time about 25 minutes.
