Just upon entering college, I decided to become a vegetarian. I believe I made this decision based on an unappetizing encounter with a hamburger.  It was a “That’s it!  I’m done!” kind of moment that had me swearing off eating meat.  At least for two years. I got quite the education during my time as a vegetarian on the food that we put into our bodies!

Since I was so used to eating meat, I learned how to be creative with my meals to continue getting the protein I needed.  I became a big fan of MorningStar Farms.  I’ve tried plenty of their products and was repeatedly shopping for their Grillers Original and Chik’n patties.  Even though I’m back to a carnivorous diet, I still enjoy these convenient, veggie options. Especially during the Summer when I tend to eat lighter meals!

While I was at Target last week (surprise, surprise), I stopped in the freezer section to pick up my MorningStar Farms favorites.  Because I have the Cartwheel app, I was able to save 20% on the MorningStar Farms products I bought.  You can, too, until 7/4/15!

I grabbed a box of Chik’n patties and Grillers Original patties.  Since Caprese Salad is one of my favorite Summer go-to dishes, I also purchased a tomato and ball of fresh mozzarella.  With fresh basil growing in my backyard and the ingredients I purchased from Target, I decided that grilled Chik’n Caprese sandwiches would make an excellent lunch! 

We love using our grill during the Summer to give our food that unique, smokey flavor.  I fired up the grill one afternoon to make myself a grilled Chik’n Caprese sandwich.  It was simple to put together and combined some of my favorite Summertime flavors!

The Chik’n Caprese sandwich was so good that I decided to try it again using the Grillers Original patties.  These are even easier to throw on the grill because there’s no preheating required.  Just heat your grill and cook these patties until they’re fully cooked.  Then, assemble your Caprese sandwich and enjoy!

What’s your favorite meatless meal?

I’ll admit that I’m usually lost when it comes to making lunch for myself.  If there aren’t leftovers from the night before, I find myself searching for something quick and fulfilling to eat (and not from a take out menu).  We are weekend sandwich eaters and sometimes those deli meats and cheeses travel into the next week.  My husband leaves the lunch meat behind for his facility’s cafeteria.  I don’t find myself reaching for sandwiches after the weekend.  Packages from the deli counter often become wasted.  Sad.

Last week I found myself actually wanting a sandwich for lunch.  I stopped at the store to pick up cracked pepper turkey and muenster cheese.  On the back of the cheese package was a recipe for Grilled Ham and Cheese Fingers with Dip.  I usually toast up my sandwiches anyway so this was perfect! It was filling and a totally different take on your average sandwich!

Personally, I love anything that can be dipped – especially in marinara sauce (hello, mozzarella sticks)!  Finger food is fun!  More fun than cutting sandwiches into shapes a la Mermaids or fancying them up with gourmet mayonnaise!  The great thing about this lunch idea is it’s great for kids of all ages!  While the recipe I went off of slathered the sandwich with mayo and made it like grilled cheese, I used the toaster.  No mayo required!  The recipe also suggested dipping your sandwich sticks in apple butter or salsa instead of marinara.  All very tasty choices!  I’ll be trying salsa next!

What would you dip your sandwich sticks in?
