Participated in a “sandwich challenge” at Hickory Hills Elementary yesterday, making a little creation I called Elvis meets George Foreman. Had to use peanut butter to come up with a “healthy” after school snack.

A dozen students came up with their own recipes, and I competed against a mom, who used ice cream in her dish. Unfair advantage!! OK, she said it was “light” ice cream.

My sandwich was not exactly low-cal, but I got to give a little speel about portion size and using just a “little bit of bacon” on my peanut butter-banana and, yup, bacon sandwich. Toasted it in my Foreman grill. Well, even if I did finish second in a two-horse race, the kids liked my sandwich.

Do you have a healthy sandwich recipe?
