Yummy Sandwiches!

I got these two recipes from my sister, Julie. Haillie helped me make the Garbage Sack Sandwiches last night and she LOVED helping and eating it! It was fun watching her. I would cut up the ingredients then Hai would have to get them in the garbage bag. They are quick, easy and yummy!

Garbage Sack Pitas
1 head romaine lettuce
2 -3 tomatoes diced
1 sm can chopped olives
½ purple onion, diced
1 can black beans, drained
1 – 2 boiled chicken breasts, diced
Grated cheese (to desired amount)
Fritos (to desired amount)
Combine Thousand Island Dressing and Salsa to desired consistency

Put all but Fritos and dressing mixture in a garbage sack and shake. Add dressing and Fritos, shake some more (Julie says sometimes when she can see she’s made too much she will take out half the salad mixture before adding the Fritos and the dressing and have it as a salad another night – the Fritos will go soggy, so no leftovers with the full thing). Spoon into pitas, and enjoy!

Amazing Picnic Sandwiches
Dig out the center of a French bread loaf (leaving a bit of bread and crust). Brush inside of bread with Italian dressing. Layer inside: spinach, shaved ham, shredded mozzarella cheese, sliced tomatoes, sliced cucumber. Repeat layering process (I layered twice). Wrap in foil. Bake at 250* for a half hour. Enjoy!
