On nights that we head to the gym, we don’t have dinner until we get back, so it’s late and it needs to be quick. But I still don’t want to resort to something unhealthy or head towards the nearest drive-thru. Sometimes that means leftovers. Or stir-fries. Or a salad. Recently, it meant these Open Face Chef Salad Sandwiches. I found the recipe a few weeks back while browsing Cheeky Kitchen’s website, a new discovery for me.
I love these types of meals. It reminds me of the Super Wedge Salad we made awhile back. It’s very easy to customize the end result based on what each family members likes and doesn’t like. Jamie doesn’t eat eggs. Nick doesn’t eat peas or sprouts. Madeline? Well, she eats whatever she can shovel in during a five minute period, and that’s usually about it. So no eggs on Jamie’s, more sprouts on mine, more ham on Nick’s… and it doesn’t take any more time to make each one individualized using the same basic recipe ingredients.
It was light, yet filling, and the perfect way to keep your kitchen cool during these creeping-up-on-us hot summer months.

Apparently Madeline isn’t the only messy eater in the house. Last week in summer camp, Nick made some popcorn, marshmallow fluff, chocolate chip concoction and couldn’t wait to make it at home. Methinks he enjoyed it….
