This, my friends, is the sandwich that saved me about $30.00. It was one of those nights when I just didn’t have much time to cook. It was oh-so-tempting to just give in and go out. But you know I’m really trying not to do that. (Psst… it’s the reason for this site, actually.) Knowing…

Are there foods you loved as a kid and now your more-mature self knows better? (I’m looking’ at you Spaghetti Os.)
