Binks and I had our priest over for lunch. I was given one day’s notice (he travels a lot) and thought of a great easy lunch idea that won’t leave you weighed down.
Hot mini ham and cheese sandwiches (spread with a mustard and butter mix – trust me it was good)

Cucumber sandwiches with a dash of Tabasco mixed into the cream cheese – it totally makes a difference.
Salad with homemade dressing (red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, fresh black pepper, and a pinch of cumin). And you can see a tiny portion of the M&M cookies we had for dessert.
The most delicious pasta salad ever! (I reduced the oregano and the whole salad could have easily been missing the pepperoni.)
I ate this pasta salad for the remainder of the week. Refreshing and totally hits the spot. I have to say the tiny bits of cheese were perfect to bite into.
All in all, it was a great time with a good friend and food.
The lunch inadvertently lasted from noon to 5 p.m. Thank goodness for sandwich snacks along the way.
What would you serve for a lunch gathering? (I might be the only one but I love dreaming up menus for different events. Judge me if you wish.)
