Brown Bag Lunch Sandwich Creations

There used to be a time when everyone would bring their lunch to work or school. It was a lunchtime ritual to see what everyone at the table had to contribute. Today brown bag lunches are making a comeback. Due to the hard economic times, brown bag lunches represent the perfect choice for lunchtime fare.


Brown Bag Lunch Sandwich Creations

The sandwich is the main ingredient in a brown bag lunch. When anyone over the age of thirty thinks of a brown bag sandwich, peanut butter and jelly or bologna with cheese comes to mind. You will be glad to know that these are not the only choices anymore.

The sandwiches in a brown bag lunch have come a long way. Kids these days want more than the above choices to throw between two slices of bread. They can choose between a vegetarian sandwich and one containing any number of lunchmeats. How about we find out what we can look forward to in a modern brown bag lunch sandwich.

First and foremost, two slices of white bread are not a requirement for a brown bag lunch anymore. On the other hand if you really like white or wheat bread don't feel pressured to switch. Tradition is a hard habit to break sometimes. For those who are more adventurous when it comes to eating lunch, here are just a few ideas.

Kids these days really enjoy wrap sandwiches. The flour tortilla is the wrap. This flour tortilla’s come in a variety of flavors such as tomato, spinach, herb and wheat just to name a few. These wraps are sturdy enough to hold sauces without spilling or becoming soggy like regular bread. These wraps are also great for holding a lot of ingredients.

Following the wrap sandwich are the pita sandwiches. Pita pockets were popular several years ago and have recently made reappearance. They are especially popular with the younger generation. These pita pocket sandwiches offer an alternative to white bread. Want to give that old turkey sandwich a little kick? Go ahead and add some lettuce, mayonnaise and tomato and stuff it in a pita pocket.

There are also other bread sources that can be substitutes for white bread. Just to name a few there are hoagie rolls, artisan bread and even rolls. For those parents who are carb-conscious, using a slice of romaine lettuce in the place of bread provides fewer calories. By adding flavored mayonnaise and other sauces you can make up for the lack of taste in the lettuce.

Sandwiches can be out of the ordinary these days so be creative. Try a few different creations of your own. Choose from a variety of breads, meats and other additions. The possibilities are endless so go ahead create a unique lunch. No two days a week have to be the same anymore when it comes to that brown bag lunch.
