Club Sandwiches


I made these yesterday for lunch. PW posted this recipe a couple of days ago and I luckily was able to make it soon after. It's my new favorite sandwich! The ingredients are very flexible. Just use what you have on hand or according to your preference. I think these would be great for a gathering too, on a platter toothpicked into individual triangles. Try it! You'll love it.

Makes 2 sandwiches. 
Prep and cook time: 15-20 minutes

Ingredients:
  • 6 whole slices of bread
  • 1 T traditional basil pesto
  • 1 T sun-dried tomato pesto
  • sliced lunch meat of your choice (I used turkey pastrami); you'll need around 8 slices
  • sliced cheese of your choice (I chose muenster); I used four slices total
  • lettuce or fresh spinach
  • 4 slices of bacon, cooked to your desired preference (I used turkey bacon)
  • 2 whole avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced into strips

Guacamole


I used to be anti-guacamole. I think it's because I had never tried any homemade. Only the pureed version in Mexican restaurants. But my fave gal pal Katie used to force me to eat foreign food items all the time when we lived together, and this was one of them. She used to make it pretty frequently when we lived together, and now I make my own :) I've made it lots of different ways, but this version is by far my favorite.

I used PW's version, of course, and it's great. It's basically just a mixture of pico de gallo and mashed avocados. So good. And so easy to make.

Make 4 servings.

Ingredients:
  • 1/4-1/2 large onion, chopped (I used white)
  • fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 2-3 whole Roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 1/2-2 jalapeno peppers
  • 1 lime
  • salt
  • 2 avocados
