Club Sub in a Tub

So, back when I was in high school, my parents had a boat. It wasn't a big boat or an expensive boat. Just an old clunker of a boat. In fact, it ended up sinking. At the dock. ...And almost with my grandmother on it too! ...Even so, our family had a lot of great fun and adventures on that boat. Many a summer night and day were spent out there on the water, together, as a family. It's truly some of my fondest memories.

Almost anytime we'd go spend the day out on the boat, we'd stop by this old gas station along the way to fuel up good ole' Titanic and grab some sub sandwiches. I almost always got the same thing, a simple club sub sandwich.

Several months back, my dad went out and bought another old boat; after years of not having one and living within near walking distance of a lake now. He's been working on fixing it up and hopes to have it in full working order for the beginning of July for my mom's birthday. That got me to thinking about my old long lost friend 'club the sub sandwich'…

Naked California Club 'Sandwich'

April 17, 2018 Amanda Plott

A good long while back I was introduced to the 'Unwich' which is a sandwich... minus the bread and wrapped up in lettuce instead; keeping it a handheld portable sandwich style meal without the most of the carbs or the guilt. That's right, we're stripping the sandwich down to the nitty-gritty and I promise you'll thank me later for it.

One of my all-time favorite sandwiches is and always will be a club sandwich. So, that's my go-to for this naked unwich today. Who needs the bread anyway? I'm getting to keep all my favorite parts; bacon, turkey, cheese, and even avocado!...

It's the new year and we're all making strides towards our health goals right now. Hooray! This year, along with still eating a bit less meat, I'm also lowering my carb intake. While I've got no plans to be plant-based entirely, I always figure the more plants in my life, the better.

This Bunless Breakfast Sandwich really hits the spot. It's cheesy and rich and full of flavor. It satisfies any craving you might have for the real deal while being surprisingly guilt-free. What's even more impressive is that this bunless wonder is also... wait for it... meatless. *GASP* And and and, it's loaded with plant-based protein! Plus, it's quick and easy to make for a grab-and-go breakfast bite that will help me and my family in our healthier lifestyle journey this year...

Football season is upon us, and that means... tailgating, homegating and my favorite part of that - burgers! Not just any burgers though. In Texas, grilling and BBQing are nearly as big of a deal as football is. Nearly.

That being said, I've got a few friends and family members who are vegetarians, or who at least try to eat less meat. So, it's always nice to have options for them when we have our big game get-togethers.

That's where MorningStar Farms® Spicy Black Bean Burger Value Pack and MorningStar Farms® Garden Veggie Burger come in!...

California Style Open Face Breakfast Sandwiches

August 31, 2017 Amanda Plott

Ever since I got my pullet eggs last week, I've been in breakfast heaven. And since I'm getting more of them later today (while they're still in season), I wanted to use up the few that I have leftover for breakfast again today! It's not what I had planned, but Hurricane Harvey sort of threw me off my schedule that I had laid out. So, I'm just winging it here.

If you missed it last time I talked about pullet eggs, basically they are smaller eggs that are laid by chickens under a year old. They're richer and have bigger yolks than eggs laid by older and more mature hens. So, when I find them for sale I always buy them while I can...

The end of Mermaid week is upon us! I've saved the best for last with this Mermaid 'Seaweed' Wrap. There is a long history behind this wrap too! It's special to my family because it's been in the summer rotation for about 5 years now! Yep. That's just how good this wrap is. One thing I love most about it is that it's so versatile; making the perfect lunch box addition, summer lunch or even as a light dinner. It's perfectly 'meal prep' friendly and full of wholesome goodness.

I've dubbed it the 'seaweed' wrap since I like to use the bright and colorful spinach tortilla to wrap everything all up in. On the inside, I've loaded this wrap up with plenty of fun and vibrant mermaid inspired bits. The first layers are hummus and a low fat cream cheese, followed by carrots, tomatoes, spinach, and my favorite part, Chopped Eckrich Honey Cured Ham! It's all pulled together with some reduced fat feta and rolled to perfection...
