Switch It Up


Who is in charge of determining which foods "belong" to specific meals? Who says that egg sandwiches are only for breakfast? It is time to break some of those rules...

The husband and I have been on a sandwich kick for a while. Sometimes nothing beats two pieces of bread, some lettuce, a slice of tomato, and some sort of protein to chew on. I needed to look for some new meal idea online and decided to check out some ideas for sandwiches. While the egg sandwich is nothing revolutionary, it certainly does taste great.

This one adds hard-boiled eggs to the standard BLT. It also adds some chives to the mayonnaise. Recently, I've been quite happy when I've added different things to mayo, i.e. chives, curry powder, garlic, etc...It is that little bid of something that makes a big impact.
