April’s Recipe ReDux theme is “Limpin’ Along For Lunch” and
we were encouraged to help break out of the lunch rut by coming up with some tasty
new ideas. Gabby and I have not
cooked together in awhile since we finished our ecookbook and I this seemed
like the perfect opportunity to jump right back into it! I wanted to come up
with a quick and easy yet also yummy and creative recipe that she could make
with my help. A few weeks ago, at Easter dinner, my father had introduced Gabby
to the delicious combination of ham and tomato sandwiches and she really
enjoyed it. We decided to put a new twist on this combo by making a pinwheel
style sandwich incorporating those same ingredients. Gabby enjoyed slicing the tomatoes and cutting the crusts
off the bread. We used soft whole wheat bread, which easily rolled out flat
with the rolling pin. Soft cheese
wedges made a perfect spread to go with the ham and tomato slices. The roll ups came out great and Gabby
really enjoyed making/eating them and was proud of her first recipe of 2016. So was I!!
We hope you will try them out and check out some of the other great lunch ideas
created by the talented Recipe ReDux group.
Ingredients:
2 large slices of soft whole wheat bread
2 spreadable cheese wedges (we used Laughing Cow Light)
1 medium, roma tomato sliced thin
2 slices (2 ounces) of lean ham (we used Trader Joes nitrate free ham)
Directions:
Cut the crust off the bread slices and roll them out flat using a rolling pin.
Spread each bread slice with a cheese wedge. Layer the ham and then tomatoes on top. Roll up each sandwich and cut into 4-5 pieces. Serve immediately.
