Below are 2 things to consider when the temps get back up into the 90's.

INSIDE-OUT BEEF WRAPS

4 wraps

 

2 purchased regular or Italian-flavor soft breadsticks, about 7x1¾ inches

¼ cup soft cream cheese with onions and chives

4 slices (1 oz each) process American cheese

4 slices dell roast beef, about 7x3 inches

4 large leaf lettuce leaves

8 pretzel sticks

 

Cut each breadstick crosswise in half. Cut each half lengthwise not quite through to bottom of breadstick.  Spread 1 tbsp cream cheese onto one cut side of slit.  Center cheese slice on beef slice. Wrap beef and cheese around breadstick, with beef on the outside. Wrap lettuce leaf around Beef on breadstick. Secure with pretzel sticks. 

And:

 

PASTRAMI DELI FOLDS

6 servings

 

1 pint (2 cups) deli coleslaw (creamy style)

1 tbsp prepared horseradish

1 to 2 tsps grated lemon peel

1 lb sliced turkey pastrami

2 small red bell peppers, cutting ¼" strips

1 bag (15 oz) pita fold breads

 

Mix coleslaw, horseradish and lemon peel.  Arrange pastrami, coleslaw and bell pepper on half of each pita fold bread; fold over.  

 

These sandwiches can be modified for kids who like simpler foods.  Omit the coleslaw and bell peppers, and substitute lettuce leaves and perhaps a thin slice of tomato.  Spread the pastrami with a favorite sandwich spread.
