Go to the store and get some deli meat and a head of lettuce and a couple of tomatoes all that is under 20 bucks,tell them to shave the deli meat thin and some sub rolls and make mini subs.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 12-muffin tin with Crisco Butter Flavor No-stick Cooking Spray. Trim crusts off bread; spray both sides of bread with Butter Flavor No-stick Cooking Spray.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, thyme, rosemary and cracked black pepper. Lightly sprinkle mixture over both sides of bread.
