Best cheap appliance around
As parents, most of us have moved beyond Ramen and cereal days of college, regardless of how much we cook. Might we suggest, though, reverting back to college eats in one arena? The sandwich maker.
At Target, right next to the husband pillows, futons and plastic dishes you’ll find a whole slew of them for cheap right now.
Buy one. It will change your life.
Or at least your lunch. And the school lunches of your kids.
That is, unless you don’t like hot, cheesy, gooey awesomeness.
THE ENVY-OF-YOUR-FRIENDS SANDWICH
2 slices whole wheat bread (even the sprouted bread tastes good in one of these!) or half a pita
Your choice of shredded cheese
Thinly sliced veggies of your choice: cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms
hummus
Spinach or kale
Sprouts
butter
Feeling hungry just looking at this.
Warm the sandwich maker and coat thinly with butter. Prepare the sandwich and be careful not to make it too thick. Place in sandwich maker for 2-3 minutes.
Tip: prepare your sandwiches at night and place them in the fridge for the morning. Cook the sandwiches in the morning and wrap them in foil. They’ll stay warm until lunch.
