If you are trying to beat the heat in the kitchen, try making your family one of these delicious sandwiches for dinner tonight. We have a tendency to think of a sandwich as boring and not a "real" meal. But if you are a little creative with your sandwich ingredients and make a couple of sumptuous side dishes, your family's palate will be pleased.
If you include a dessert like low-fat vanilla ice cream topped with fresh strawberries and ready whipped cream your family will be begging you to make sandwiches again.
