So like, I love a good sandwich. I mean, what’s not to love? Piled sky high with whatever’s in the fridge or carefully assembled so each bite is packed with awesome, the sandwich is one of my favourite snacks in the world.

Normally I’m always in a rush at lunch and grab something fast from whatever’s nearby. Subway® has just opened down the street and I’ve been taking advantage of their current $5.95 value deal that comes with a 6-Inch® sub (ham, meatball, turkey, seafood sensation, pizza or veggie delight), a cookie and a drink which is perfect for me cos the 6-Inch® sub is the right size for lunch and I always need a drink and dessert with my meal. I’ve been systematically eating my way through their offerings and like switching up what breads or sauces to have. The value deal is pretty awesome because everything else around me is in the > $10 range.

Lately I’ve found myself with a bit of time on my hands so I’ve been able to make and pack sandwiches for the boy to take to work and the good people at Subway® have asked me what my fave sandwich combos are so hold onto your stomachs I’m gonna take you on a sandwich journey!


Crazy warm weather means I opt for cold fillings in my sandwiches. I don’t normally make triple decker sandwiches unless I’m really hungry. Which uh, is quite often… But yeah! I prefer bread that’s seeded and stuffed full of grains and then fill em up with deli meats like shaved ham, salami, pepperoni and slices of rare roast beef. Then pile on the lettuce, tomato, capsicum and a dollop of mayo, a slice of Swiss cheese and away you go!


When the weather gets cooler I’ll pick hot fillings and toast it so the cheese becomes nice and melty and hugs the fillings with all the love in the world. My all time fave hot filling sandwiches are roast chicken with capsicum, lettuce and Swiss cheese and a generous amount of garlic aioli (I hear there’s a garlic sauce that’s just hit Subway® which I’ve yet to try) . There’s just something about chicken and garlic sauce that makes the world go round. And then of course there’s meatballs with cheddar cheese and yes normally I go crazy with the amount of cheese 😛 Aaaand a BLT means super crispy bacon, lettuce, a couple of slices of tomato and cheddar cheese.


I’m not a big fan of canned tuna so I splurge a bit on smoked salmon, baby spinach leaves and a mega generous slathering of cream cheese. Normally I’d add red onion but I’ve been having throat closing up issues whenever I eat onion lately and I rather like breathing so had to give em a break.


Of course my all time favourite sandwich is the humble toasted cheese! Look at that oozy cheese try and escape! Buttered on both sides and hugging whatever cheese I have in the fridge oh baby! Ok so that amount of cheese is a bit insane but whatevs, my cholesterol is fiiiiiine!


Aite I know this looks super trashy but it’s the best snack when you’ve had a big night out and stumble home in the wee hours of the morning… Leftover spaghetti in white bread. Don’t knock it till you try it!


Ok there’s no denying that this sandwich is not for the faint hearted! Sometimes I’ll have extra fries leftover that I stick in the fridge and usually I get hungry a couple of hours later… whack them between some white bread, drizzle of tomato sauce and we’re good to go!


Last but not least, an ice cream sandwich! Super soft and sweet taro bread from Breadtop, cut out a slab of your fav ice cream and boom! Instant dessert snackage! You could totes do it with cookies too, normally I buy heaps of Subway® cookies if I cbf baking and make a whole load of ice cream cookie sandwiches and keep em in the freezer for instant access to tastyness.

So yeah! Those are my fav sandwich combinations! Of course, when I’m short on time and/or ingredients I just hit the local Subway®for a wide range of subs at a tops price 😛
