Sandwich Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sandwich

    If making a ham or turkey sandwich, place 2 slices of ham or turkey between 2 slices of bread. For a grilled cheese, butter one side of each slice of bread.

  2. 2

    Cook the Grilled Cheese

    In a skillet over medium heat, place the buttered side down of the bread. Add cheese slices between the bread and grill until golden brown on both sides and the cheese is melted.

Soup or Chili Preparation

    Prepare the Soup or Chili

    In a pot, combine the vegetable broth, chopped vegetables, and bring to a boil. For chili, add canned beans, tomato sauce, and chili powder, then simmer for 20 minutes.

  2. 4

    Serve

    Ladle the soup or chili into a bowl and set aside.

Salad Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Salad

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced cucumber. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar on top, then season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Toss the Salad

    Toss the salad ingredients together until evenly coated with dressing.
