It's National Sandwich Day, how could I resist? The truth is, I haven't had a sandwich in over 20 years. It's the carb thing as I have stated before. However, "Mr. Shop This" loves my sandwiches, so I do make them often. A really good sandwich makes a simple dinner or elevated brown bag lunch. Scroll down as we begin with the best sandwich of all - a not so basic PB & J.
HERE: 22 Recipes & Cooks Tools
From the new Half Baked Harvest cookbook. This recipe is comfy, cozy, and the thing you want to make when you can't decide if you want sweet or savory!

If I was to have a sandwich, it would be a Panini. There's something very appealing about grilled bread and ooey gooey cheese!

Cheesy Sloppy Joe's
So if I were to eat any sandwich at all, it just might be this one. Doesn't a Sloppy Joe just bring back childhood memories? Ours never came with cheese, however!
Oh Sweet Basil
Parsnip Pigs In A Blanket
A great way to take meat out of your life is substituting a veggie. Here, these parsnip “pigs” in a blanket are served with a verdant chimichurri sauce.
Williams Sonoma
Southern Inspired Fried Chicken Sandwich
This recipe begins with brined chicken breasts. Said to be insanely crunchy, and the homemade mustard coleslaw adds even more crunch.

Lobster Grilled Cheese With Tarragon Garlic Butter
Since lobster is my favorite food of all, this recipe had to be included. This sandwich is all about the secret sauce and splurging on Brioche bread. The lobster is worth the splurge.

Linen Bread Bags
Really good sandwiches begin with really good bread. These linen bags will keep the bread fresher and crisper longer. Not to mention how nice they look.

Bakers Royale
Mexican Turkey Meatball Sandwiches
With Chiles, garlic, a little onion and Mexican spice, these meatballs certainly have the mex flavor, especially when they are steeped in enchilada sauce!

This is a great after Thanksgiving recipe, as it uses some of your leftovers. You'll never want a MacDonalds breakfast sandwich again!

These look much more difficult to make than they are. I once made 100 for a Tea Shower I hosted. Love it for Afternoon Tea or an unexpected cocktail party offering.

Miso Stewed Short Ribs French-Dip Sandwich

Sandwich Wrap Trio
If you craft your sandwiches like works of art, now you can artfully store them, too. These make so much sense, because plastic is so passé.

Shrimp-and-Chorizo Tortas
A simple but super tasty recipe that sautés shrimp with chorizo and onion, then spoons them onto rolls and tops with tomato and avocado. YUM!

Hoosier Pork Tenderloin Sandwich
Having gone to college in Indiana, I know that this is a legit recipe. We girls would frequent an all night diner after a particularly "busy" evening and order these. The amount of mayo used is key. Don't skimp.

Turkey, Cranberry + Brie Sandwich
The only thing that would make this recipe better, is putting that side of chips right on the sandwich for added crunch.

S'mores Stuffed Doughnut Sandwich
Now you knew that I couldn't leave you without something sweet. Guess what these are stuffed with. Homemade Beer Marshmallows! I am in.
