One of my favorite sandwiches is peanut butter and banana 🥪. I love using hot dog buns toasted with butter along with scrambled eggs for breakfast too. You have really good ideas for using up what you have! As my sweet Grandmother used to say, " waste not, want not". ✨
Your bread is significantly bigger than we have in America. A fav of mine is salted tomato and mayo. Raisins/sultanas and walnuts with that shredded carrot and apple, maybe? Tearing bread into a bowl with sugar and milk for a cheap cereal. Chips/fries on buttered bread is a good sandwich too. I like egg salad sandwiches as well. I put in a bit of dry Coleman's mustard and a bit of melted butter, a sprinkle of cayenne pepper
hi Lizzie, maybe a few sultanas added to the carrot & apple would add another depth, maybe bit like is it florida salad? not quite sure but im quite sure it would work. have a lovely week❤
I favourite sandwich filling of mine is to mix peanut butter and some crushed chips (crisps). Cheap and delicious. Can use any flavour of chips (crisps).
I adore beetroot sandwiches. Delicate and tasty and seem so much more than just beetroot, bread and butter/margarine. Cheap cheese spread in place of butter etc is great with beetroot too. For the apple and carrot, maybe a bit of desiccated coconut if you have some or sultanas or a tiny bit of a sweet sauce you might have in the cupboard or a little brown sugar
I make a salad of apple, carrot, and raisins. Never thought to eat it as a sandwich. Interesting. I like the German radish sandwich of sliced radishes on buttered bread with a sprinkle of salt. Bon appetit
I love banana sandwiches. When we were little our grandmother used to make us banana sandwiches with light brown sugar. Really delicious and a treat we looked forward too when visiting. I still love that combo, but trying to be a bit healthier nowadays but enjoy it without sugar as well.
When my brother was a young man and first living away from home with a bunch of other lads, there was a story in our family that he once ate a beetroot sandwich with no butter, and this was held up to be the ultimate in deprivation! I mentioned it to him a while back (he's passed on now) and we agreed it really wasn't so terrible, it was just our mum making out we couldn't look after and feed ourselves properly on our own. I really like beetroot in sandwiches now; we grow huge ones in our community garden, but they're not very popular at the food bank as they take too long to cook, so we, the volunteers, get to take home quite a few. I cook them in the slow cooker (my French friends don't know this and use pressure cookers). One of the old French ladies described them as 'succulent' (in French, much the same but with a French accent!). Enjoying your channel, you have a lovely vlogging style and attitude to life.
I don't want to sound like a know-it-all, but I've been poor all my life. Here are more frugal tips. > If bread goes stale because it has stayed out too long, place a damp cloth over the sandwiches about 25-35 minutes later, the bread will taste fresh again. Prevent this from happening by placing a damp cloth over the tray of sandwiches until the last moment before serving. > Make your own butter. Currently cream cost $2.78 for a pound, which is 16oz. Generic brand butter is $4.00/L2.50 a pound; $22 a pound for french butter. Here's how: Pour 16oz/473ml Heavy Whipping Cream/Double Cream into a stand mixer with whisk attachment on. Add optional ½ tsp salt. Beat on high/No. 8 until it looks like whipped cream. Stop the mixer and scrape the sides of the bowl; you will do this two or three times. Continue mixing on high each time until it looks like scrambled eggs. Reduce mixer speed to low. The mixture will separate into butter and buttermilk quickly now. Reserve buttermilk for baking. The butter will be trapped inside the whisk. Give it a cold rinse under the faucet/tap until nearly clear. Wearing nitrile or latex gloves, hold whisk with butter over a bowl of iced water and peel the butter out of the whisk into iced water. Shape into a rectangle with your hands and pat dry with paper towel/kitchen paper. At this point, it's nice to personalize it by pressing it with your family's signet or a wax stamp. Wrap in waxed paper or kitchen parchment. Whisking takes 6-8 minutes, total time about 17 minutes.

Looks good
grated carrot and peanut butter is a fav of mine. adding chicken, if you have it, makes for a sort of satay vibe.
Fabulous, thank you. I like cheese and banana sandwiches but just banana is great too.
My dad loves cheese and banana too 💕
Just found you again. Nice to see you are back.
Blessings from Bavaria Germany❤

Try a sprinkle of cinnamon on your banana sandwich...takes it to another level
Delicious! One of my favorites is peanut butter and dill pickle! I was hesitant to try but a friend said I would love it and I do!
It does sound interesting, I must give it a go 💕
Peanut butter and banana sandwich is a good one.
I like peanut butter and banana.. apple and carrot never heard but will try!
Carrot and apple! What a great idea!
Add some walnuts to the grated carrot and apple for a lovely crunch xx
Great idea, thank you 💕

We were raised on banana and peanut butter sandwiches. A bit of crumbled bacon might be added. Very satisfying
I always sprinkle a little sugar on a banana sandwich. 😊
My dad does too 🙂💕
Banana is sweet enough for me😂

Thank you, I need to cook mine in the slow cooker. So many times I have forgotten about them and I've burnt my sauce pan 😂Thank you 💕

Wow thank you for all the great advice 😁💕
@@frugallizzybee You're Welcome.
Peanut butter instead of butter will make your banana sandwich healthier.
Tuna pancakes. Tuna, mayo, liquid smoke, bacos, worcestershire sauce, Coleman's dry mustard, S&P. Mix together and serve on top of a hot pancake that has melted butter on top. (It's better than it sounds.)
👍
You eat the most unusual things. Is it a UK thing?
I'm not sure💕
do you just boil the beetroot, then slice it? i imagine the pickled slices from a can with cheese would be incredible for a sandwich!
I buy it all ready cooked, yes beetroot and cheese are amazing together 💕
