National Sandwich Day

Is there anything more universally loved than a great sandwich? Whether you’re a fan of classic BLTs, hearty steak sandwiches, or over-the-top gourmet burgers, sandwiches bring people together with endless options for flavor, texture, and creativity. Today, on National Sandwich Day, it’s time to celebrate this beloved meal with a little sandwich inspiration and a few insider tips for taking your sandwich game to the next level!


Why We Love Sandwiches

The beauty of a sandwich lies in its simplicity and versatility. With just a few ingredients or an elaborate list, you can create something that’s handheld, satisfying, and bursting with flavor. From childhood PB&Js to fancy bistro baguettes, sandwiches bring comfort and adventure in each bite. No matter the season or the occasion, there’s a sandwich that fits the mood.


Here at Good Thyme Gal, I’m all about sharing ways to make food fun, delicious, and accessible. My love for sandwiches is no secret – it’s why I put together my gourmet burger and sandwich cookbooks, designed to help you create unforgettable flavor combinations that’ll turn a regular lunch or dinner into a true treat. If you’re looking to step up your sandwich game, these books are perfect companions!


Perfect Pairings: Ideas from My "Bite Into Bliss Sandwich Cookbook"

I’ve spent years experimenting with flavors and textures, and in my "Bite Into Bliss Sandwich Cookbook", you’ll find recipes that range from classic to bold. Here are a few of my favorite sandwich styles and pairing ideas to get your creative juices flowing:


1. Pulled Cranberry and Turkey Sandwich: Perfect for the upcoming Holiday Season. Tender, slow-cooked Turkey infused with tangy cranberry sauce creating a blend of sweet and savory.


2. Quesadilla Turkey Ham Club Sandwich: For a twist on a classic turkey ham club that combines the best of both worlds.


3. Prosciutto Fontina Cheese and Tomato Sandwich: My sandwich cookbook features a crowd-pleasing Prosciutto Fontina Cheese and Tomato Sandwich.

For those looking to explore beyond traditional sandwich ingredients, my cookbook has some wonderful gourmet ideas that bring in unique flavors from around the world, with easy-to-follow recipes that make every sandwich feel like an exciting new dish.


Celebrating Burgers, the Ultimate Sandwich

And we can’t forget burgers! Often, burgers are considered their own category, but they’re just as much a part of the sandwich family as a BLT or grilled cheese. In my "Bite Into Bliss: gourmet burger cookbook" , you’ll find recipes that transform the classic burger into a canvas for flavors like spicy sriracha, tangy feta, and fresh herbs.


Why settle for ordinary burgers when you can try a French Onion Burger or a Greek Lamb Burger with Tzatziki sauce? I love sharing ways to make burgers exciting and new, and my cookbook is filled with tricks for achieving that perfect patty every time.


Bring The National Sandwich Day Celebration Home

If you’re thinking of hosting a get-together for National Sandwich Day or just want to treat yourself to something special, why not try a mini-sandwich platter? It’s a fun, customizable option where everyone can try a few different flavors without having to commit to just one. Here’s a quick guide to setting up your own sandwich station:


1. Choose a variety of breads-like mini ciabatta rolls, sliders, baguette slices, and wraps.

2. Offer an array of spreads- such as pesto, chipotle mayo, mustard, and hummus.

3. Mix up the fillings- with classic deli meats, grilled veggies, cheeses, and fresh herbs.

4. Add a few finishing touches-like pickles, olives, and roasted peppers for garnish.


And if you’re looking for more inspiration, my cookbooks are filled with detailed recipes for unforgettable sandwiches and burgers – all crafted to make each bite a memorable one. Whether you’re cooking for friends, family, or just yourself, these books are designed to bring fresh ideas to your kitchen and make every sandwich a standout meal.
