Sandwich’s to complement your new years diet

If you overdid it on the festive snacks at Christmas, and are now paying the price and trying to shift those pesky extra pounds, you’ll probably be trying your best to eat as healthily as possible.
Just because you’re on a diet doesn’t mean that you have to starve yourself- you still need to make sure that you’re not depriving yourself of essential nutrients, especially if you lead a busy lifestyle.
Sandwiches are a great way of enjoying a healthy lunch and not feeling hungry 10 minutes.
Rather than white bread, opt for brown or granary, and choose healthy fillings like chicken, salad, tuna and ham. However, try not to indulge in too many of the same types of sandwiches, as you’re likely to get bored and reach for the nearest bar of chocolate- putting all your hard work to waste!

Perfect children’s sandwiches

If you’ve been watching the news recently, you can’t failed to have seen the results of a recent survey, which have shown that an alarming number of children take a very unhealthy packed lunch to schoold with them every day.
Getting a balanced diet and eating nutritious food is vital for all of us, and even more so for growing children. However, the current economic climate has meant that many parents are having to make cutbacks, and simply can’t afford to fill their children’s lunch boxes with lots of fancy foods.
Sandwiches are integral part of a packed lunch, and getting the balance right between nutritious and delicious needn’t be expensive.
Instead of packing jam or chocolate spread sandwiches, garnish bread with salad, tomatoes and cucumber, a finish with a low fat high protein meat such as chicken.
If you find that your child is struggling to eat their sandwiches, cut them into fun shapes and give them something to look forward to at lunchtime!

The Perfect…. Fish-Finger Sarnie!

Everyone has their own interpretation of the perfect fish-finger sandwich – and if they do not use the following method, they are WRONG! This is a tried and tested “recipe” and no-one in my office contradicted this (which is unusual in itself, as we are an opinionated bunch).

So, the perfect fish-finger sarnie is made of:

White bread, thick sliced, soft, yummy
butter, none of this low-fat spread malarky
tomoatoe sauce, spread over the bread, not the fish fingers!
4 fishfingers (not 3!), packed in tightly, like sardines!
(and if you’re feeling adventurous, some grated cheese)

This is the only way to make a fish-finger sarnie – imitations need not apply!

And Today’s Lunch is…

…. a ham, sliced double gloucester cheese, and some Branston’s smooth pickle, sandwiched together between wholemeal bread.

Nom Nom Nom!!!

What makes this sarnie so tasty is the jarred pickled relish. Branston Pickle comes in all shapes, sizes and flavours these days, showing just how far it has come since it was first made in 1922. It was made in the Branston suburb of Burton upon Trent by Crosse & Blackwell. And all their modern varieties are yummy!

The great things about relishes it that it can jazz up any sarnie or salad very easily, and tastes just right. Pop some on your butty!

What do you put in yours?!

A sanwich is a sandwich – bread, meat (or veggie substitute), maybe some salad or sauce. Not a lot of thought is needed to get it right really. But wow, there are a lot of weird options out there!

I have known people to put pizza in sandwiches, I’ve seen sweet and savory (chocolate spread and turkey! eugh!) mixed together, I’ve even seen one persistent child try to make a soup sandwich…. The list could go on, but I think you get the idea.

The faithful sarnie is an easy and tasty way of filling a hole, and getting you through the day. So why should it be boring?
