Essential Holiday Planning: The very humble Sandwich Maker:

Blog writing practice No.1 - November 2020;

Today it is 32° in the shade but the humidity is making it feel more like a suffocating 42° and because neither of us is overly ready for summer to arrive just yet we have chosen to huddle inside with the air-conditioner running ... we are having a lazy day - well it is Sunday!

Lunchtime arrived a short time ago & we both struggled for inspiration on what to eat - Col eventually suggested banana toasties & a cappuccino ... well yum! That started me thinking ... surely the humble sandwich maker has to be an essential item to include in our around Australia travel planning?

I have been sitting here thinking about all the amazing, inexpensive & simple meals we can have on the road with a 'toasties' maker on board & I have come up with a few favourites;

20 Gourmet Toasties Ideas;

• Banana & honey toasties or alternatively try banana with Peanut Butter, Ricotta or Nutella - Yum!

• Ham, cheese & tomato toasties

• Spag-Bol leftover toasties

• Gouda Cheese & Chili Jam toasties.

• Apricot Jam with either Goats Cheese or better still with Brie & Bacon

• Peanut Butter, Haloumi & honey toasties

• Nutella & strawberry toasties

• Chicken, chives & avocado toasties

• Vegemite & cheese.

• BBQ Sausage & sauce toasties.

• Almond Butter & Raspberry toasties

• Apple & cinnamon toasties

• Sweetcorn & cheddar Toasties

• Baked Bean Toasties

• Egg, bacon & tomato toasties

• Turkey, cranberry & Camembert toastie

• Mushroom, sun dried tomato & goats cheese.

• Pesto, Ham & Cheese toasties.

• Chicken, mushroom , caramelized onion & mozzarella toasties

• Plain cheese toasties with Tomato soup.

• Tomato, mushroom & Mozzarella cheese toasties.

The list is actually endless ... toasties are especially delicious made with sliced sourdough bread (which I can't have because I'm Coeliac - but apparently it's not all about me!) ... we could literally feast on quick & easy toasties for breakfast, lunch or dinner every week on our road trip adventure - if we wanted!

Anyway - I've convinced myself ... a new 750 watt toastie maker is now on the planning list!
