Help!!
Getting lunches ready each night (rather than in the morning) is saving us time but this weekend I'm going to make sandwiches for the week (there are 4 of us I have to pack for).
Has anyone got an tried and tested (successfully defrosted) sandwiches they would like to share?
We do this - saves soo much time!
Cheese & Ham
Cheese & Vegemite
Chicken & avocado (it looks a bit funny but tastes fine..up to you :)
Avoid tomato and salad items.
Thats all I can really think of for now.
We used to make up two weeks worth of rolls and chuck 'em in the freezer, it was genius (in fact we should do it again).
Anyway the fillings we used to use were ..
Chicken, Cheese and Mayo
Salami and Cheese
Ham/Turkey and Cheese
All defrosted beautifully
Would egg defrost?
Cornbeef and pickle
Cornbeef and tomato sauce
I was just going to ask about egg!,
Honey or jam freezes ok.
recent success with Ham/sliced cheese/grated carrot.
(woot - my very fussy eater, who won't eat any veg raw or cooked, ATE and REQUESTED AGAIN, grated carrot in her sandwich!!!!)
I have waited four years for her to like and request a vegetable. i am still on cloud nine from this.
Just wondering, doesn't the bread go funny or a bit stale?
Tuna/mayo with beetroot or sweetcorn or grated carrot and finely chopped red peppers.
Turkey and cranberry
Salami/ham with mashed cheese and avocado
Ham and seed mustard
Hummous and cheese or ham
You can also pre=prepare vegetable sticks like celery and carrot, and keep them in the fridge for the best part of a week. I sometimes freeze individual serves of hummous and take one out at breakfast time, and it's ready to use as a dip for vege sticks by lunch time.
littlelara, the bread does't go stale as long as the bread is superfresh when the sandwiches are frozen, and they are well wrapped without air pockets around them. It's an amazing timesaver.
It's a while since I've done it but it's fantastic - not just for working parents but also SAHMs if you have a stash and are going to be at the park at lunchtime. Much easier to just take one out in the morning and pack it up in a picnic.
In the past, I've done:
Tuna mix - so tuna mixed with mayo, avocado, corn.
Turkey, brie (or any cheese), cranberry, grated carrot and a spread of mayo
Roast lamb and pumpkin dip
