Back to school time equates to packing school lunches for a lot of moms. Fortunately my kids are in high school and like to buy their lunch now. There was a time though where I packed my daughter’s lunch almost every single day except on bosco stick days. When I was in grade school my mother made a salami sandwich for me practically every day of the week. It was my father’s favorite lunchmeat. I ate so many salami sandwiches as a kid that I didn’t eat it for years afterward. Every once in awhile a peanut butter and marshmellow fluff sandwich was thrown in. I have never tired of peanut butter and marshmellow sandwiches or PB & J in general. Oddly enough, salami is my daughter’s lunchmeat of choice and peanut butter sandwiches. For more ideas on peanut butter sandwiches check out Tori Spelling’s blog post 10 Ways to Spice Up Your Kids PB & J.
My kids current favorite sandwich is from The Chew. I wrote about it in a past post here, but felt like it needed repeating. The key to this sandwich is Mango Chutney, Boar’s Head quality roast beef, cheddar cheese, and a fresh baguette. I’m not the mom who packs gourmet lunches for her kids, but I make this sandwich sometimes on the weekends for lunch or even for a quick dinner. I hope you enjoy it!

I wish Brie was more adventureous with sandwiches or food in general, she gets the PB & J sandwich in her lunch about every other day because some school lunches are good in her eyes. Alex will like The Chew you mentioned sounds really good! I want Mike Aryes reciepe for tuna steak sandwiches!!!!
I heard the tuna steak sandwiches were good too! I’ll have to see if I can get it from him. I hope Alex likes the roast beef sandwich 🙂
What are bosco sticks?
And yum! I haven’t thought about or eaten a PB & Marshmallow sandwich in years, but now I want one!
Bosco sticks are basically a breadstick filled with cheese 🙂
It sounds really good! My boys aren’t terribly picky about what they bring, but my daughter’s favorite lunch is crusted chicken over salad greens with honey mustard dressings. We just found a new great grilled chicken salad recipe last night that we’ll be using too! This sandwich looks great…I’ll try this one out too!
Crusted chicken over salad greens with honey mustard dressing sounds wonderful and healthy too! The mango chutney I buy is Major Grey’s Chutney. I think you can find it in most grocery stores and we love Boar’s Head roast beef. It’s a little pricey, but worth it. We don’t eat this every week.
When I was a kid I hayed sandwiches in my lunch because they would get all squishy – of course that was in the 60’s and our bread choices were pretty much white Wonder bread or white some similar brand bread. LOL
I didn’t get a fresh baguette in my lunchbox either 🙂 Maybe one or two times salami on a hard roll though.
Lovin that sammie and lovin The Chew!!!
I’ll have to give this one a try- sounds delicious. My sons normally buy hot lunch at school but my boyfriend works in construction and takes a lunch from home. I feel terrible that I’m far from creative in the kitchen and he ends up with the same old lunch meat more often than not…I’m on my way to your Pinterest board to see if I cant liven things up for him!
I hope you found some things you like 🙂
