Breakfast & Lunch Menus! Make one time, use over and over and over again…..

The question was put forward on YouTube, “What do you do about breakfast and lunch?” This is what we do. And the weeks we don’t use this system, I kick myself. It works and it’s one, nay, about 14 things a week I don’t have to think about each week.

As promised, PDFs of the Breakfast Lunch Menus rotations. These are not editable. If you want editable (is that a word?) Word Docs so you, too, can copy and paste my/your grocery lists with minimal effort, let me know. I shall add them. Your wish is my command….

Sandwich Wrap Rap

Mar 24

Posted by zookeeper12

Ham, sweet mayo, fixins and swiss cheese.

Avocado, pepper, spinach, sprouts Veggie please.

Or bacon, ‘mato, lettuce, turkey with cream cheese spread,

The TBLT is what a bunch of peeps are fed.

The Salsa Ranch Chicken Wrap is quickly gaining fame.

We think it most amazing – we really have no shame.

Folks are craving sandwich wraps; we are happy to provide

Because our wraps are the bomb, I really must confide.

Okay, I know, that is pretty lame. We made a boatload of wraps this week so I was feeling inspired. Fechers’ Panache has been pretty uneventful as of late but we were blessed with two days of corporate box lunch orders, Thursday at Wayne Dairy and today at Reid Hospital Oncology, and we made A LOT of wraps. (Did I mention that already?) We also had some croissant sandwiches thrown in the mix today, our Chicken Salad and Apple Tuna Salad, but wraps are, by far our most popular sandwich.

I thought I’d share some Sandwich Wrap “expertise” so, when you aren’t able to partake in a luncheon catered by an amazing caterer like Fechers’ Panache, you can pack awesome sandwich wraps to take for lunch or for those trips to the pool that are just around the corner. (I’m still chuckling at the use of “expertise” here – this stuff is so easy, it’s laughable. “You, too, can be a wrap expert!”)

Instead of regular Tuna Salad sandwiches, add some chopped apples to your Tuna Salad and wrap it up with leaf lettuce in a tortilla – much butter. Any of your sandwich salads are incredible as a wrap. Dress up that traditional BLT by adding Herb-roasted Turkey and “Chayo” :

Chayo

1/2 cup chive and onion cream cheese

1/4 cup mayonnaise

Mix well. Never use regular mayonnaise again.

You’re welcome.

Another often-neglected tip some folks do think of is using a panini grill for your wrap! Oh. Yum. It’s worth taking the 10 minutes it takes to preheat your grill and heat til hot and crispy. No panini grill? Preheat 2 skillets, place wrap in larger skillet then put smaller, preheated skillet on top. Voila! Panini grill. I would have thought that with the popularity of fajitas, heating up sandwich wraps was a given but we’ve had several customers impressed with our skill with the panini grill (don’t make me start rappin’ again).

Salsa Ranch Chicken Wrap

One more wrap need-to-know: tortillas come in flavors. This is a news flash for some folks. Our Salsa Ranch Chicken Wraps are made with the Tomato Basil Tortillas and aren’t the same without them.

Veggie Wraps taste great in Spinach tortillas as does that fabulous Spinach Artichoke Dip spread on a Spinach Tortilla, wrapped and toasted on the panini grill. Someone make me one – now.
