Lunch anyone?

I like lunchtime.  It is a wonderful break in the day's activities.  It is a time to nourish our bodies and nourish our hearts.  I have not yet made it a consistent habit but opening God's word at the lunch table is good for everyone I think. 

As I was nibbling my sandwich today, I thought it might be fun to post my favorite lunch meal and then see if I could get a few of you to post your favorite lunch and the recipe if we need one.  :0)  I find that the midday meal is the one that needs a little "spice" sometimes...so a couple of new ideas might do us all some good. 

My favorite lunch is a bologna sandwich.  Really, it is.  I like sandwiches a lot.  Now I will take a bologna sandwich with just about anything on it but "the perfect" bologna sandwich is made like this:

two slices of fresh white bread

a thin coating of mustard on one slice and Miracle Whip on the other

layer bologna, lettuce, tomato, fresh onions, salt, pepper and the most important part (that makes it so yummy) is fresh sliced jalapenos

You must slice it in half.  This is the only way to make sure that all of your goodies stay in the sandwich.  I like plain potato chips with my sandwich but I will eat any fruit, fresh veggie or chip that we might have on-hand.  An occasional slice of pepper-jack cheese is yummy and avocado slices always makes a nice addition to any sandwich that I eat.  ;0)

So...what is your favorite lunch meal?

You can post a comment with your favorite and the recipe or just leave a link to your blog or website.  Everyone...make sure you check the comments on this post!

I really like making Turkey and Cheese Melts. Some great slices of Boar's Head Ovengold Turkey with Colby Jack Cheese and Mayo... grilled on the "George Forman" grill... and dipped in Buffalo Sauce... yummy! For a true "roller coaster in your mouth" experience, I eat Salt & Vinegar flavored chips dipped in the buffalo sauce, too! OK, now I'm hungry... lol! :)

I love your bologna sandwhich. That's just how we eat them around here!! LOL

In summer I love to put out plates of different things, and we just each get what we like. One example: sliced turkey, ham and cheddar on a plate, surrounded by crackers (I love the multi-grain Club crackers). On another plate, tomatoes, celery, and carrots, and grapes, strawberries, and peaches on another plate. They are our homemade lunchables :) And the kiddos' really like picking what they want.

You can also do this same thing on skewers for little fresh shish kebabs, served wiwth whatever dips you like. Quick, easy and fun :)

I really enjoy makeing a can of tuna fish and toasting two peice's of bread. Then I put mayo on both peice's and a slice of cheese! It's simple but very good! :^)

Hm, it seems sandwiches are the choice for lunch, and I quite agree. :-)

My personal favorite sandwiches are the 'plain Jane' ones. Mayo, mustard, ham and cheese, or just mayo and cheese, and if I feel like it peanut butter and jelly. I usually like to have some kind of fruit to finish my lunch off.

Sandwiches are simply superb!
