The Sunday Funday Bloggers are sharing Sandwich recipes today......

I am hosting this month and since August is National Sandwich Month I asked the others to share a Sandwich recipe of their choice.  Let's see what everyone brought to the table.......

• Mayuri's Jikoni: Avocado Tomato Sandwich
• Palatable Pastime: Brie and Vegetable Agrodolce Sandwich 
• Sneha’s Recipe: Brown Bread Carrot Cabbage Sandwich 
• Amy’s Cooking Adventures: Dill Pickle Grilled Cheese 
• A Day in the Life on the Farm: Grilled Meatball Sub 
• Food Lust People Love: Smoked Salmon Smørrebrød
• Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck Survive Despite a Whiskered Accomplice: Whiskey Bacon Butter Bacon, Egg, & Cheese

I am loathe to turn on the oven or stand over a hot pan during the heat of the summer, and would much rather be floating in my pool or enjoying a cold drink on my deck. The solution?  Our grill is used to cook nearly every dinner.  

The very best solution is when I am floating in the pool with a cold drink and Frank is manning the grill LOL.

I used baguettes for the bread, cutting it into serving-size portions.  In the future, I will use a softer bread.  I melted cheese on the bottom of the sandwich and hollowed out the top of the upper bread to hold more marinara. Then I put out small bowls of marinara for dipping.
