Samantha's Roasted Vegetable Sandwiches

* zucchini, sliced longways about 1/4" thick
* yellow squash, sliced the same way
* hummus
* olive oil
* your favorite seasonings
* a loaf of french bread or some rolls
* mozzarella cheese

Lay your zucchini and squash out on a cookie sheet, brush with olive oil and coat with seasonings. I like rosemary, salt, and pepper especially well, but basil and oregano and parsley are fantastic too. Lately I've been cheating with the spices and using the McCormick Italian Herb Seasonings grinder.

Stick it in the oven until the veggies are nice and soft, about 20 minutes or so at 375.

Cut that loaf of bread into sandwich sized chunks and spread each side with hummus then lay the zucchini and squash on there. Top with big fatty slices of mozzarella cheese.

Throw it back in the oven until the cheese is all melty and toasty.

Sam's boyfriend puts lettuce and tomato on his. I think I may try roasted peppers and sprouts when I make these. Whatever you want, throw it on there.

Chicken Salad

*1 lb cooked and shredded chicken breast
*1 chopped celery stalk or some celery seed
*some chopped onion if I'm not coming over for lunch
*1 cup cooked pastina or other small pasta, drained and rinsed and chilled if you are making sandwiches. Big pasta like elbows or wagon wheels are fun if you want this without bread. Chop the chicken instead of shredding it if you are doing this or you get a bunch of different sizes and textures of food mixed together and that really grosses me out.
*salt and pepper to taste
*a big glob or two of mayo

Serve with Chicken Corn Chowder

You can cut the top off a tomato and clean out the snot and stuff this in there if you want to be fancy, and my Aunt serves this on croissants which is good for the tastebuds but bad for the waistline.

I think chicken salad must always be served with iceberg lettuce. It is a rule in my house.

Tuna Salad

*as much tuna as you need, drained
*1 chopped apple
*1 chopped celery stalk
*1 shredded carrot
*some onion if you like it
*1 handful of shredded cheddar
*fresh ground pepper to taste
*mayo to taste

Mix it together
