Chicken Salad (especially great with dried cranberries & walnuts)
Tuna, Turkey or Ham Salad
Turkey & Swiss
Clubs (Chicken, Turkey)
B.L.T.
Fluffer Nutter
Peanut Butter & Banana
Nutella & Banana
Bomber (Pastrami, Cole Slaw, Swiss Cheese & 1,000 Island Dressing)
Roast Beef & Swiss
Instead of traditional bread substitute Tortilla Wraps, Sour Dough, Kaiser Rolls, Bagels, Chalah, Marble Rye, Brioche
Instead of lettuce substitute cole slaw.
Instead of mayo substitute 1,000 Island, Caesar or Ranch Dressing.
Don't forget to check out the new stuff at your grocer's deli. I love the BBQ Chicken Breast & Honey Roasted Turkey.
why dont you do a ham , cheese, lettuce, and tomato sandwhich? does your "hubby" like that?
use some head cheese
The best sandwich is made with a little mayo, cranberry sauce leftover stuffing and leftover turkey!!!
egg salad
Chicken curry.... mmmmmmmmmmmm...
salami and cream cheese
anything!! that's the great thing about bread, you can put pretty much anything in between it and it'll taste great.
tuna, turkey,veggie, meatball, sausage,chicken,club. Try different types of breads, cheeses, sauces.
Salami, Cream cheese and cucumbers! Yummy!
Ham, Cheese, Pineapple ring - put brown sugar inside pineapple ring
roast beef and swiss (both fresh from the deli) with a little hot mustard
We like having club sandwiches that are ham, turkey, roast beef, and American cheese or Combination sandwiches with toasted bread, ham scrambled egg, lettuce, and tomato.
BBQ chipped beef in a wrap with lettuce tomatoes and onions;
slices of chicken on a kaiser roll;
tuna on wheat bread
try a salad...my hubby likes the suprise... cottage cheese is good too... add pepperoni to mix up the usual san. (flavor and cheap)
I love pastrami, lettuce tomato and onion...mmmmm
BLT
bacon, lettuce & tomato oh yeah, and mayo
egg salad (mash up a boiled egg and some mayo), or cold meatloaf, or peanut butter with mayo and a banana, one of my favorites, or sliced turkey with butter, or tuna salad, or bacon, lettuce and tomato
fry up some turkey in worcestershire sauce with a little salt and pepper and put some shredded cheese on it while it's still hot so it melts and then just throw it on some bread. it's one of those things we always do with leftover turkey in my family.
Buy some corned beef and swiss cheese. You can add cole slaw or thousand island dressing make like a ruben.
What about Tuna? Make some tuna salad with a little mayo, onion and celery seasoned with salt and pepper.
Oh and I love bacon sandwiches. You fry up bacon, drain some of the grease. Toast your bread in the bacon grease. Spread prepared horseraddish on the bread and add the bacon. so so sinfully good.
Gather up some rustic bread, fairly thick slice. Thick sliced turkey, cream cheese and some other white sliced cheese, I like havarti. Butter (you can roast some garlic, let it cool a bit and mix it in with the butter, YUM) and a couple slices of tomtato. Spread the inside of the bread with butter and cream cheese, add turkey and tomato. Now you can cook it a few different ways. I like the pannini style. If you have a pannini maker, go for it. If not, get out two fry pans, one smalle enough to fit inside the other but still cover the whole sandwich. Wrap the bottom of the smaller one in aluminum and grab a large can of beans or something heavy. Place this pan on the back burner on medlow. Drop some butter in the bottom pan on med heat and add the sandwich. Put the hot smaller pan aluminum side down onto the sandwich and add the can of beans to the top. Cook for about 2-3 minutes then flip to get just a bit more color on the other side. Or you could pop it in the toaster oven or grill it regularly in the pan. Done when the cheese is all melted and the bread is a crispy golden. Set on rack or paper towel to cool a bit and set up before cutting/serving.
Try making a wrap for lunch with some meat, cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato, mayo, or oil and vinegar/spices(salt - pepper- oregano), and a little bit of red onion (like a hoagie) .If that is not appealing than surprise him with a cookie cutter shaped sandwich. I did this for my husband one day (I actually made him 3 that day) and he thought it was the funniest thing ever - so did the guys at work it gave them something to talk about at lunch :)
He said "For some reason the sandwich tasted better...what did you put in it?" I told him it is the same sandwich just more love.
A little cheesy but what can I say we all get bored with our food and by just changing the way it looks can make it taste better.
Men are visual creatures...
I've been taking lunch to work for 30 years, so I know what he means. Does he have access to a refrigerator or microwave ??
Are there things he definitely doesn't like ??
That makes a big difference in what he can take for lunch.
If he has to take sandwiches here are a few ideas:
Flour tortilla's can be made into lots of different wraps, like -turkey, bacon and lettuce and cheese (shredded or sliced)
-crab mixed with cream cheese and salsa
-salmon or tuna or egg salad
-pepperoni, shredded mozzarella and olives (pizza wrap)
-mortadella and provolone cheese
-shaved roast beef and cheddar with horseradish mayo
-ham and cheese
Try different breads sometimes like rye or French.
Ask him if he saw someone else he works with eating a sandwich he thinks he would like to try, or drag him shopping with you.
Try things like raw veggies with dip with kolbassa and cheese instead of a sandwich.
Potato salad, coleslaw and ham
Good Luck
If he has access to a microwave at work. Try making some type of sandwich melt. Prepare it just as if he were going to eat it right then and there, then all he would have to do is nook it in the microwave for a couple of seconds.
Subs, especially a muffaletta. That'll fill him up. Or a pesto, turkey and provolone. Ham and cheddar, and to zip it up use a little horseradish and get horseradish cheddar. Chicken and jalapeno jack with jalapeno cream cheese. My hubby also loves pastrami with Swiss, mayo, mustard and lettuce, and tuna salad, and egg salad.
