Toast 2 slices of Meijer’s wheat sandwich enriched bread
Spread Meijer’s creamy peanut butter (or crunchy, your choice)
Add Nestlé’s milk chocolate chips (or be daring and go with dark chocolate!)
Spread Smucker’s strawberry jelly (I find strawberry the best choice because since when do you dip grapes in chocolate…
Squish together
Enjoy!
One thing my roommates love to tease me about is the lack of time I spend in the kitchen (how ironic since I have a blog about sandwiches…). But I must admit, I’m not the biggest or most patient cook out there. Honestly, the majority of the time I live by the theory if it takes you longer to cook it than it does to eat it, it’s just not worth it. Anyways, the point of this little rant is to introduce you to my next sandwich, and what better sandwich for me to blog about this week than a simple and quick peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
Now wait! Don’t stop reading quite yet and hear me out on this. This sandwich has a little bit of a twist. First I take some Meijer’s wheat sandwich enriched bread and toast on 3-4 setting. After that I spread Meijer’s creamy peanut butter on one piece of toasted bread and Smucker’s squeezable strawberry jelly on the other piece (haha yes Jenny squeezable jelly!) Now here is the twist, before I spread the jelly I put Nestlé’s milk chocolate chips on the peanut buttered piece of bread (feel free to arrange in any order). It is important to do it quickly so that the heat from the toasted bread melts the chocolate a little bit. I know this sound odd (Jenny was skeptical at first), but whenever I have a chocolate craving this is my favorite type of sandwich! After you spread the jelly you are free to squish the two pieces of bread together and cut your sandwich into triangles!
Happy Sandwiching!

So I think one of my favorite presents I received for Christmas was my super fantastic, life-changing RED crockpot. It has single handily allowed me to eat the past few weeks. Fantastic things, not like ramen things.
So for this sandwich, attempt to be an adult and go buy a crockpot (baby steps, I know). I saw some at Meijer’s today, but not red, which is really sad.
For pulled amazing BBQ pork sandwiches, dig out said crockpot. For meat, this is where I ran into trouble. I Googled what to use.
First mistake.
Every site had a different part of a pig as the meat. One was shoulder butt rump roast. Why are there three separate areas of a pig in a lump of meat?? Another, boneless bone-in shoulder rack. WFT? At first glance, you would think this is the pig’s one boneless and one boney tay-tas.
I finally settled for the boneless shoulder roast. One area, no bones, seemed pretty safe.
So the magic of the crockpot is its ability to throw your business in and go about your life and…POOF…FOOD! Who wouldn’t love that??? Any college student.
Speaking of college students, that is the secret recipe for my fantastic sandwich! No, not as in cannibalism, that’s frowned upon…
BUT BEER!
The key to perfect pulled pork is to cook it in beer and brown sugar! P.S. if you have some beer, not consumable anymore, like warm, perfect candidate! P.S.S. sampling before cooking, is always acceptable as well…
Fast forward five hours.
Life-changing meal right there!
Drain now nasty beer and use two forks for shredding process. Then smother personal flavor BBQ sauce! Cook for about 25 minutes to let pork become one with the BBQ sauce.
Now you can’t just slap this on any lame piece of bread. Lightly toast an onion roll. This will complete your life and make everything else seem worth it and achievable.
TA DA!
Yea, that good.
Happy Sandwiching,
Your gurus
So as the semester begins so does my sandwich making frenzies! Typically I make at least one sandwich per day (no surprise). And of course I have my favorite sandwich that I always seem to fall back on when I don’t feel like being creative. It’s simple but truly delicious, in other words it is my Go To Sandwich hence Kelly’s Go To Sandwich.
Pretty Colors!
First I start with Meijer’s wheat sandwich enriched bread. Usually one of my favorites because it tastes delicious and lets be honest it’s usually on sale! (Broke College Student here!). I toast that on setting 3-4 for proper, crunchy, yet not to burnt toasting. Next I use Market of Meijer Double Smoked Ham. This was the first time I tried this type of deli sliced ham and I’m not going to lie… it was pretty scrumptious. The flavor was noticeable, but not strong enough to overpower all my other flavors. I place these on my toasted pieces of bread, which brings me to another point. Have you ever noticed how large deli sliced meat is compared to bread! I have to do ham origami and fold it just perfectly to get it to fit on the dang bread! Anyways… on the other piece of my toasted bread I do 3 pieces of Armour Hard Salami and 3 slices of Armour Sandwich Style Pepperoni. So far I have truly enjoyed Armour’s salami and pepperoni and to be honest have not been brave enough to try anyone else’s (hint: foreshadowing to future blogs). Finally I add a slice of Pepper Jack and Colby Jack.
After assembling the sandwich, I place my two slices of bread in our toaster oven. I let the 2 slices toast long enough that the cheese has melted into a sea of dairy. Carefully remove the two pieces of the sandwich (BECAREFUL TOASTER OVENS CAN BE HOT!). Then I take the pepperoni, salami, and Pepper Jack combo and move it over to the slice of break with ham and Colby Jack. I then take the empty slice of bread and apply Basha Premium Hummus- Roasted Red Pepper flavor. Personally I love using hummus on a sandwich because I find it creamier and tastier than using mayo. The next and final step is to smush the two pieces together and you have an appealing and pleasant sandwich!
Now I don’t want you to panic, I know this post seems long and overwhelming. However, once you get this recipe down you will have quick-to-make sandwich in no time!
Happy Sandwiching!

The hiatus is over! Your sandwich gurus are back, in black and no more slack! We’ll maybe not in black…it’s too depressing.
Yes, we know, we dropped the ball a little. (Alright, alright, it’s like we dropped it, and just stared at it for about six months and let it collect all sorts of dust.)
But fear not our small band of loyal readers! Kelly and I have decided to faithfully post a few times a week. I know, ambitious right? We’re pulling out all the stops this time. New and crazier recipes and even sassier posts!!! So read on sandwichers, read on!
Sincerely,

It’s that time of year again! Yep, school has begun and for those graduating seniors it’s incredibly bitter-sweet. But don’t worry that’s not the theme of this sandwich!
May I present: The Petite: The Spicy Roasted Beast!
This is probably one of my favorite sandwiches ever. It’s the perfect size! Petite!
First and foremost, the roast beef must be as pink as possible. It’s like a steak, the more rare, the better. Pretty much just needs to be lightly warmed on either side, or as I say, “still mooing.” For all you vegetarians, you have no idea what you’re missing!
When I made this sandwich, I had just finished about three classes that had ranged from 2-3 hours long. When I got home, my only focus was food and how fast I could inhale it. Nothing else mattered.
I started with a previous frozen bun, but if I had some I would have gone with a fresh Italian bread. Italians know their shit when it comes to food and their bread is no exception! We’ll I thought, “Hey! I can thaw this in the toaster on level 9!” #FAIL
Like I said earlier, the key to a fantastic roast beef sandwich is the rareness of the meat. Because of this importance, I’ve provided a handy chart. Feel free to print it and use it as a reference in the grocery store.
Light Pink: eh, ask for a different hunk of beast
Pink: getting closer
Pink, Pink: If no other options, this will work
Dark Pink, Red: Most perfect, buy it by the pounds!
I chose a spicy brown mustard. A little heat never hurt anyone, so put your big people pants on and get over it. Layer according to hunger. Mine had about 12 slices, judge accordingly. Some slices of yellow muenster cheese for extra flavor.
No lettuce or tomatoes, those interfere with your roasted beast, and that is not acceptable. Toast to melt cheese and light heat the roasted beast, but not enough to interfere with the rareness of your beast.
Slap together and thoroughly enjoy after those long useless required classes of yours.
Happy Sandwiching!
Your lovely Gurus!
Heavenly Sandwich of Roast
In honor of 4/20, Kelly and I are proud to present: The Pot Roast Sandwich!!
Okay, so as a lazy college student, I do not enjoy the joys of cooking. There’s not really a whole lot of joy in it. Hence why we have a sandwich blog and not a Julia Child “The Art of French Cooking” blog.
So college students I give you the epitome of excellent cooking and excellent lazyness!!! Drum roll please! THE SLOW COOKER!
My day began on a rough note, class starts at 8:30 AM, didn’t wake up till 8:10. Cool alarm. So I manage to brush my teeth and get some pants on and I remember I have to get the pot roast cooking, because its needs like 10 hours to become edible-y delicious.
Awesome thing about pot roast is how easy it is to assemble:
Step 1: Meat in pot….check
Step 2: Seasonings on meat…check check
Step 3: Surround meat with things like potatoes, carrots, mushrooms and more potatoes (who honestly can’t get enough potatoes?)…..more checks
Step 4: Press ON….now we’re cookin’
Might As Well Be Called
So after coming home from class to a delicious smelling apartment, our guy friends plus Brittany (future roommate) came over for the feast. I had to make sure they left me just enough for this sandwich (I bargained with cake and a can of frosting, it all worked out)
So for the sandwich, just put whatever you manged to salvage from your starving roommates and slap it on a bun. The more A1 Steak Sauce the better. DIS SHITT IS THE BEST! I wish I could take shots of it. It’s like Jesus knew how amazing pot roast would be and was like, “I can top that.” He actually made an 8th day and it was A1 Steak Sauce.
Best. Day. EVER.
Sandwich of Jesus
Happy Sandwiching!

Sandwich of the Gods
The Quickie:
-Get some pot roast…no pot roast? Make some
-Place all the fixings on the sandwich, like the potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and of course the roast
-Lather that puppy up with some classic A1 Stake Sauce, don’t be shy
P.S. Don’t forget to read the full entry about our pot roast sandwich! This is just the mini, make-it-at-home version!!!
