My Wednesday Pantry-Sandwiches

      What's not to love about a good morning out at the farmer's market, a community garden, a pick your own, followed by a delicious meal made with your bounty? I always think of a good rustic sandwich loaded with goodness as something that would be served at a little bistro, cut in diagonals, maybe served with a side if fresh fruit and perhaps kettle chips. It's still too early,  with our long winter and overly chilly and wet spring, for local produce but I'm gearing up for it. I've subbed what was available for a few recent meals, and they were delicious. I'm thinking about how much better they'll be in another month. 

Turkey-Bacon-Avacado-Tomato 

This was so good for both Saturdays lunch and Mondays supper. As I had no ripe avocados, I used guacamole instead, and I'm hooked. I tend to buy turkey bacon. The kicker though was making it on sour dough bread, toasted. Not a great picture, but here it was 

Hummus- Cheese-Cucumber-Tomato 

This is my go to lunch when we have tomato and cucumber. Generally I eat it on multigrain or wheat bread. My favorite hummus is red pepper in this sandwich, but any kind will work. Grinding course black pepper and just a bit of salt over the vegetables is my preference.

Vegetable guacamole wraps 

I took advantage of leftover sliced vegetables, leftover mixed bagged salad,the remaining guacamole, a little grated cheese, and a couple lingering tortillas to make these cool, refreshing wraps. This was lunch the other day, served with tortilla chips and the fresh salsa from the refrigerator case. This is an old picture, but same kind of wrap.

Grilled ham, turkey, cheese, and tomato melt

     My daughter and I had sort of a pickings type dinner last night but knew DH would be famished after work. I used the last of the sliced ham and deli turkey, odds and ends of Colby and cheddar cheese, the last of some grape tomatoes, and the last tortilla and made him a grilled sandwich that was oozing with cheese, but juicy from the tomatoes. 

      Nothing is really a recipe, but maybe a bit beyond a basic cold cut or tuna sandwich. I get bored with the same old meals and come summer, there's fresh food more readily accessible. If you and yours are sandwich fiends like we are, the combinations are endless.
