Two favorite sandwiches: curry chicken salad (Serious Eats recipe) OR pimiento cheese (southern living’s recipe with the roasted pecans). Either on a good wheat bread with some mixed greens is summer sandwich perfection!

I’m always looking for a new pepper puncher upper for my sandos. Can’t wait to try these.

The sandwich I look forward to every year is a BLT. Got to have with farmers’ market tomatoes.

So many amazing options on this list (including Tyler Kord's broccoli sub-a personal favorite). Excited to make lots of sandwiches this summer! I recently tried Caro Chambers' Turkey Pesto Focaccia Sandwich, which my kids (who devoured it) and I also highly recommend.

I’ve been feeling a little burnt out about cooking and this post may be the perfect push to get me back in the kitchen. For now, I’m thinking about some crispy toasted bread, something salty (maybe olives or capers and feta) with some tomatoes and hard boiled eggs with a handful of arugula.

An excellent round up of sandwiches!! I had a new one at Frank & Laurie's in Providence that I cannot stop thinking about — roasted asparagus, boursin, and dill on a sesame baguette. I plan on recreating next week with the last of the season's asparagus!

Clearly it’s hard to pick just one, but I just got the first summer tomato in my CSA box, I’ve got bacon and lettuce in the fridge, so it’s gonna be a BLT this weekend! 😋

Three favorites: a baguette with butter, post-Thanksgiving turkey and cranberry sauce, and BLT. I could eat any of these everyday!

I’m thinking about that tin fish sandwich from Mei! Especially since I can find big beautiful heirloom tomatoes right now
