Savory Sandwiches

What do you like in a sandwich?  DO you like it hot, toasted, cold or open face?  The Key to a Healthy and great tasting sandwich is in the ingredients.  Choice vegetable, and fresh baked breads go along way to delivering that bountiful flavor of the combination of nature's foods, fruits and veggies.  There are particular breads that bode well with some ingredients and not so with others.  It is fun to craft a sandwich and enjoy the fruits, er.. or vegetables of you labors.

Healthy meats or no meats at all
When making a delightful sandwich that is healthy and delicious steer clear of processes meats like bologna or hams that are water product as these have loads of sodium and the bad fats.  Turkey, pastrami-Turkey or beef, chicken breast, all beef salami, tunas are choice meats that will fit the bill.  When considering a sandwich of the more garden variety cabbages, Tofu, Hummus, spinach make good supplement as do egg plant and most gourds.

Hot or Cold?
We all like a sandwich and have preferences in its design and taste.  WE also have preferences on how we like its temperature to be.  I like my tuna fish salad sandwiches cold but some may like them warm or on toasted bread.  Hot roast turkey breast or chicken, savory marinara and Swedish meatballs-Beef and sausage, and the famous Philly cheese steak sever ever taste bud fro dormancy when they arrive in the mouth.  Stir fried cabbage in EVOO with you favorite flavor make great sandwich fillers in place of meats and are a healthier choice.

Fruits in a Sammich?
It may sound unlikely but it does so happen that fruits do not get left out of the sandwich delights we eat and love.  Creamy chicken or Chopped turkey salad with diced toasted apple and raisin over a bed of sweet purple onions makes a wonderfully savory cold sandwich.  Last but not least, nuts and jams or preserves make the table in the toasted sandwich division.  Peanut, cashew or almond butter and choice jam makes a sweet and tasty lunch anytime,
