7 Sinfully Delicious, Savory Sandwiches…

July 12, 2013

There is nothing better than a good sandwich.  Warm toasty bread, juicy meats and savory condiments…or a crispy baguette with bright herbs and seasonings and fresh vegetables.  You can dress it up with steak or bring it down home with pulled pork and slaw…I love a good sandwich.  I’m currently experimenting with juicing, subbing lunch and/or breakfast for a big glass of fresh squeezed sludge.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the burst of energy I get and I feel better, and lighter…but while I’m drinking it I’m imagining it’s one of these sandwiches.
