Who wants a sandwich!!
Feels like that’s the summer call. Who wants a perfect tiny little summer sandwich?! Complete with smoked turkey and provolone and lettuce salad and chips and honey mustard and more.
UM YES PLEASE.
Me.
I want a sandwich!
When I was a kid, there was nothing better than a sandwich when we came up from the beach or pool. And that sandwich had CHIPS ON IT.
I’ve been a huge proponent of potato chips on sandwiches my entire life – they are one of my most favorite things ever.
And so here we have the best summer sandwich slab that you can throw together for the day. Lunch, dinner, poolside snacks or more.
Here’s how our sliders come together!
First, you need a slab of slider rolls. You can use hawaiian rolls, but I really love the buttery brioche rolls over the sweet bread version. Slice them in half lengthwise, creating a bottom slab and a ton slab.
Next, a spread. I go with honey mustard since it is our favorite. My family has been obsessed with this honeycup mustard for over 20 years. It’s the best.
Okay – my favorite part. The chips!! For me, it’s a toss up between kettle cooked potato chips and baked potato chips. I also need to emphasize that I am not really a chip person, like I don’t care about them as a snack. Not my salty snack of choice. But on a sandwich? Dreamy.
Next, smoked turkey.
After that, provolone slices. (more…)

Lunch time!!
This chopped grilled chicken caprese bowl is filled with fresh mozzarella, juicy tomatoes, bright basil and a balsamic vinaigrette. It’s tangy, satisfying and great to enjoy any time of day.
How on earth do I still struggle with lunch ideas? I love having a bunch in my arsenal, and I get bored easily. So I must always have something exciting to eat for lunch.
My secret is to compile a big list in the notes app on my phone. I categorize it by season too. On the weekends, I can peek at this list and see what I should make for lunch that week if I don’t have leftovers.
Occasionally things work best if they are prepped ahead of time. Others take just a few minutes to throw together right before eating.
This is one of my favorite things to prep for lunch because it’s SO EASY.
And it’s super versatile too.
Remember my grilled chicken caprese pasta salad? I love to serve it layered in a clear glass bowl?
This is a scaled down version of that. It’s kind of like that, without the pasta. I’m putting it in a separate post for you in order to throw it under my lunch category.
And selfishly, because I look at my lunch ideas all the time here on the website to decide what to eat during the week!
I also can’t express how easy it is.
Once I have the caprese salad and the grilled chicken done, the options are endless. I can eat it just like that – chicken and caprese salad.
Or, I can add in a grain. Farro, couscous, etc. Maybe add some leftover pasta or rice or quinoa, whatever I have on hand.
Sometimes I bulk it up with greens. My favorite is arugula. I love how peppery it is and it adds such great flavor to the chicken and tomatoes and mozzarella.
Other times, I will have it just like this with some toasted (or grilled!) sourdough. Hello, my name is Jessica and I could live on sourdough.
And the really great part is that this can just be inspiration! If you have leftover grilled chicken, regardless of the marinade, it will work. Combine it with some tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil and you have a fresh, satisfying lunch in minutes. (more…)

Get ready for the most flavorful meal!
This Italian chopped salad can be served as a lunch or dinner, a party appetizer or even a happy hour snack. The salad is super flavorful, the bread is crunchy and toasty. Combined, it’s a delicious bite of heaven that is satisfying and simple!
And the best part: you can assemble the salad ahead of time. Always a win.
One of my favorite meals to make in the warmer months is grilled bread piled high with some sort of salad. I love it! It’s easy and versatile, can be a great clean-out-the-fridge meal and can be customized to whomever you’re serving.
Oh and it can serve a crowd or you could even dial it back and make it an easy dinner for two.
I can’t even tell you how often I make a version of this in the hot summer months. Not having to turn on the oven? Dinner gold.
Of course, you CAN turn on the oven if that’s how you prefer to make your garlic breads. Whatever works for you!
This is what I love to put in my chopped Italian salad:
Salami
Fresh mozzarella
Smoked provolone
Cherry tomatoes
Roasted red peppers
Chickpeas
Thinly sliced red onion
Shredded iceberg lettuce
Radicchio
Sliced banana peppers
And the zestiest, most delish Italian vinaigrette ever.
This little chopped salad is fabulous on its own. You’ll be eating it out of the bowl as you’re preparing it. But it’s even better with some bread!
Warm and golden and toasty garlic bread, grilled so it has a touch of smokiness.
Meals like this never seem like a big deal but they taste AMAZING. Loaded with lots of flavor and texture, they are one of those meals that makes dinner time FUN. It’s easy, yet it feels like a restaurant quality meal.
And obviously, you can add in anything or leave something out, depending on what you love. This is a garlic lovers’ paradise. Garlic bread, a garlic-heavy dressing, all tangy and zesty with a bite. You can change that up if you wish or even do something cool like add in spicy peppers. (more…)
