Looks like Yum and I are not the only 2 people who are crazy about ice cream sandwiches this summer. When I went for cocktails and tapas at Two last Friday with my gal pals we ordered the trio of ice cream sandwiches. They were delicioso!

Breakfast sandwiches are popular with rushing mothers and their kiddos on the go! From egg filled bagels to bacon and cheese caught between an English muffin they fill the tummy up right. My son favors waffles sandwiches.

My favorite sandwich is:
2 Slices of Nature's Promise Multi-Grain Bread
1 slice of plain tofu grilled or deep fried (in canola or peanut oil)
Some Mustard and Sauerkraut.
It is sooo good! My dad and I love them; and it's vegan.

I don't know about the rest of you, but sometimes I simply need to eat pizza. I wouldn't call it a staple in my diet by any means, but once in awhile, I just have this incredible craving for pizza.
And, in this case, it might actually be easier to make something from home than to order out!

For our office White Elephant gift exchange back at Christmas, my friend Lisa got this Cuisinart Sandwich Maker.
And it's been sitting under her desk for five months now. So today, I convinced her to go to Whole Foods with me so that we could pick up some food and make some sandwiches.
