Triple Decker Sandwich - Ham, Turkey Pastrami, Turkey Bacon, Swiss Cheese,.....

Dinner Tonight: Triple Decker Sandwich - Ham, Turkey Pastrami, Turkey Bacon, Swiss Cheese, and Boston Bib Lettuce



It's the lazy, hazy, days of Summer, In May! Don't mind the heat but the humidity, I can't stand! We have another one of those days out again. After Breakfast I went to the local Meijer, they had a lot of good 2 Day Savings going on, 5% off every item was one of them! After Lunch I got the cart out for a bit and grabbed a weed puller and went around the yard and flower beds and got rid of some weeds, lot of Dandelions this year. For dinner tonight a Triple Decker Sandwich and a 1/2 of a Baked Potato.





I had something else planned but a good ole Triple Decker just sounded too good! For the Meat I

used Boar's Head Honey Smoked Ham, Jennie - O Turkey Pastrami, and Jennie - O Turkey Bacon. Using these Meats I save a lot of Calories and Carbs using Boar's Head and Jennie - O Turkey Products. For addtional toppings I used Kraft Reduced Fat Mayo w/ Olive Oil, Sweet Hot Stone Ground Mustard, Boston Bib Lettuce, Sargento Ultra Thin Swiss, and Klosterman Wheat Bread. To build this "Bad Boy of Sandwiches"; I first toasted my Bread (3 slices). Got the first slice and layered it the Kraft Mayo, then a layer of the Boar's Head Ham, a slice of Swiss, and topped it with the second slice of Bread. On top of that the Boston Bib Lettuce, two pieces of Turkey Bacon, then I layered the Turkey Pastrami, spread the Stone Ground Mustard, a slice of Swiss Cheese, and the last slice of Bread. Now this is a Sandwich! This hit the spot, fresh, delicious, and not to filling. I also had a side of Ruffles Baked Cheddar and Sour Cream Chips and an ice-cold Diet Dr. Pepper that I had in the freezer for about 10 minutes! For a dessert/snack later a 100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.
