BLTs - A wonder!

I don't have pictures, but I made real BLTs this week. No bread, just bacon, lettuce and tomatoes. It was amazing....I'd never had it before.

I added a bit of mayo to the romaine lettuce, right on the lettuce, topped it with tomatoes and a strip of bacon on top. I am so doing that again! Remember this dinner!

Broccoli and Cheese Sandwiches

Lunch can be boring, with the same old turkey or ham sandwich. A few days  ago, I mixed it up a bit with some broccoli and cheese sandwiches. These little guys come together really fast and taste, oh so yummy!

Ingredients:

- Bread

- Cheese (Shredded cheddar or Velveeta)

- Broccoli

- Butter

- Olive Oil

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put desired amount of broccoli on baking sheet, drizzle a little bit of olive oil over the broccoli, maybe some salt, and pop it in the oven. Let it cook for about 8 minutes. We want the broccoli soft. 

2. Slice bread and butter one side with butter. Remove broccoli from oven.

3. Put bread, face down, in a skillet, put cheese on top, the broccoli, then a second layer of cheese, then the top slice of bread. This way the cheese holds the broccoli in place. 

4. Cook on low, and cover. I've burned mine each time, because the heat is too high and the cheese doesn't melt fast enough. 

5. Turn over and cook on the other side. Be sure to watch it. You want it under cooked before you want it over cooked. Burnt bread is nasty. lol

I make mine on homemade bread. It's oh so delicious. I'd recommend sprinkling some salt on it before you put the top slice of bread on, so it'll help  bring out flavors. It's a pretty mild dish, but creamy. I've used Velveeta once or twice. Ohh....I was passed out on the couch shortly afterwards, but it was so yummy. :) 

I like to serve mine with a veggie, like carrots as well. It makes for a quick fast lunch. :)
