The Super Colossal 2 Point Sandwich (a.k.a. The Steve Sammich)

Much like Joey from Friends, I looooove sammiches. If sammiches were a food group, it would be right up there next to vodka.

Kathy's husband turned me on to what we've called The Steve Sammich: a 2 Point (Weight Watchers-style) sammy so big, you won't miss any of the extra points.  They all start with the same basic foundation: 1 Point bread (like Nature's Own slices or Deli Thin Rounds) and Hillshire Farms lunchmeat (or other low-calorie lunchmeat, but we like Hillshire Farms because 6-7 slices is 1 Point). Those two foundation items are where the 2 Points come from.  The modifications are up to you.  Here are a couple of our favorite combos:

Kathy's Sweet n' Cracked Turkey Sandwich

• Nature's Own Light Wheat Bread (2 slices)
• 6-7 slices of Hillshire Farms Cracked Pepper Turkey Breast
• A few slices of Bibb or Boston Lettuce
• Sliced sweet peppers (from the jar, as many as you like)
• Salt n' pepper (go easy on the salt)
• 1 tbsp fat-free Mayo (like Hellman's/Best Foods or Kraft)
• 1 tsp of Dijon mustard (like Grey Poupon)
• A couple "Sandwich Stacker" pickles (licked -- seriously. Kathy likes her pickles with the juice licked off before adding them to her sandwich or else the rest of the sammy gets soggy.)
• Tomato slices to your heart's delight

Assembly:

Untoasted bread. Mayo on the bottom, then the turkey. Add lettuce, pickles, tomato, then the peppers and top with the other half of the bread. It may sound weird that I'm telling you how to assemble a sandwich, but after a few tries, assembly seems to make the difference when keeping the sandwich together and not sliding all over the place, especially if you want to pack it in your lunch for the office.

Joelle's Orchard Herb Turkey Sandwich

• Nature's Own Double Fiber Wheat Bread (2 Slices)
• 4 slices of Hillshire Farms Oven Roasted Turkey Breast *
• Half a wedge of The Laughing Cow Light Garlic & Herb Cheese *
• A few slices of firm tomatoes (blotted w/ a paper towel, I hate soggy tomatoes)
• A few slices of romaine lettuce
• 2-3 thin rings of red onion (you can use whatever you like, but I dig red/purple onion)
• Freshly cracked pepper
• 2-3 thin, thin slices of your favorite apple. I like Granny Smith or Gala.
• 1 tsp of light raspberry vinaigrette dressing (I like Newman's Own Light Raspberry Walnut Vinaigrette)
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard

Assembly:

Toasted bread. (I find the dressing doesn't soak through as quickly then.) Spread the Laughing Cow on the bottom of the warm toasted bread so it kinda melts a bit.  Drizzle with your 1 tsp of Raspberry Vinaigrette over it.  Lay down your apples, nestling them in your cheese so they hold.  Add the turkey and add the cracked pepper. Add the onions, the lettuce and the (blotted) tomato and put the Dijon on the top piece of bread. Slice in half diagonally (that's just me) or in 4 little pie pieces.

* If you have Points of spare, feel free to add the whole Laughing Cow wedge or the whole serving of lunchmeat. This is just what I do to keep it at 2 Points. But having a full serving would only bump you up to 3 Points, which is really not a big deal.

Serve with a side of your favorite baked chips and/or some fruit and you've got yourself a 4-5 Point lunch that is super filling and feels like a feast.
