6 Slimmer Sandwiches : 1. Grilled Cheese • Swap out white bread for whole wheat • Opt for olive oil mayonnaise instead of butter for spreading on the bread • Cut back on fat with part-skim cheddar • Boost flavor with the addition of hot-pepper jelly 2. Peanut Butter and Jelly • Choose organic peanut butter or look for a no-sugar-added variety • Take a break from typical strawberry jelly or jam—use fresh sliced strawberries instead 3. Philly Cheesesteak • Build your sandwich on a whole grain hoagie roll instead of a white one • Skip the processed cheese sauce and substitute shredded part-skim provolone—you’ll use less without even thinking about it • Grill your onions and peppers instead of cooking them in a lot of oil 4. Pulled Pork • Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of pork to reduce fat and calories (or stick with lean pork tenderloin) • Make your own BBQ sauce rather than use a store-bought one that’s high in sugar • Top your bun with half the amount of meat you’d normally eat and fill out the sandwich with a vinegar-based coleslaw and pickled veggies 5. Reuben • Sandwich the goods between dark rye bread or pumpernickel—two classic and healthy choices • Buy organic, nitrate-free and sliced turkey breast instead of the traditional corned beef • Go with reduced-sodium, part-skim Swiss • Be generous with the sauerkraut—it’s low in calories, contains vitamin C, and supplies enzymes that aid digestion (buy fresh if you can find it or rinse the canned type before eating to get rid of some of the salt) • Make a healthier Russian dressing or look for a bottled Thousand Island dressing that contains yogurt instead of full-fat mayonnaise—we like Cindy’s Kitchen. 6. Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich • Start with a whole grain seeded English muffin instead of a white one • Dice the Canadian bacon before cooking and sprinkle on top so you use less • Whisk one whole egg with one egg white to trim fat and calories • Top the egg with one slice of part-skim cheese Enjoy Ladies :)
