Just The Simple Things

Sometimes all it takes is a simple sandwich to satisfy a foodie. I found that out yesterday when all I wanted for dinner was just a peanut butter sandwich . Nothing fancy , nothing elaborate . Just something comforting , tasty and easy to make. I'm not alone . A lot of foodies just prefer something easy yet delicious.

Let's face it how many of us have come home and only ate a bowl of cereal and milk. It may not be the best dinner but it's still satisfying. Or how many have just had a baloney and mustard sandwich after a hard day's work. I can't even recount the number of times friends have just eaten nothing but a yogurt and coffee or fried up a couple of burgers to be put on white bread. Even a dish like mashed bananas and chocolate syrup makes a simple treat. Skip the iced cream, skip the whip cream and sprinkles. Just the fruit and sweetener will do it.

It's always good to have easy stuff in the pantry.Now is the time to stock up on Spaghetti-os along with Ramen soups . Have a large jar of peanut butter on the ready along with crackers. You can make mini sandwiches with these two if you need a quick dinner or snack.Even cans of deviled chicken and ham can be made into pates with just a dash of spice and some mayonnaise. Spread this over roils or croissants. for lunch. Keep extra eggs because you can make egg salad for sandwiches.

There;s nothing like eating something uncomplicated that doesn't require a lot of prep time. it could be a sandwich or even just a bowl of oatmeal. Whatever it takes to satisfy, then go for it.
