Classic Ham Sandwich - perfect for lunch or a quick dinner! #sandwiches #ham #ad

Like many, I grew up eating a lot of sandwiches at lunchtime. And the occasional dinner, of course. The thing is, I never really minded - my brothers on the other hand, were more of the leftover eaters. They felt cheated if they didn't have a "hot meal."

A typical sandwich for me when I was growing up, was literally lunchmeat and cheese on white bread .... maybe some kind of condiment. Mostly, I preferred my sandwiches without any kind of condiments as a kid (weird, I know!). When my mom wanted to put mayonnaise and mustard on my sandwiches, it just grossed me out - and I would refuse to eat. As I got older, I didn't mind condiments on my sandwich as long as it was in moderation. 

One of my favorite sandwiches then - and now - was the Classic Ham Sandwich. My mom never added lettuce and tomato to our sandwiches, but now that I'm an adult .... I love that extra little touch. I always have lettuce and tomato on hand, so why not add a little bit of extra nutrition? I have even been known to use spinach if that's what I have. One of the other things I've changed as an adult is the bread .... white bread may have had its place in my childhood, but these days, I like something with a little more nutrition and whole grain. 

When I lived on the East coast, Arnold bread was a favorite ... since moving to Arizona, I've realized many of my regular brands are called something else out here .... its Oroweat for my West coast peeps! :) Don't even get me started on the what they call it on the East coast vs. what they call it on the West coast thing! I don't understand the difference!
