Sandwich Solutions for Busy Moms
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Eckrich Deli Meat. All opinions are 100% my own.
I can’t believe how quickly time has been passing this year. Fall is the time to get back on track again after the relaxed summer days. Going back-to-school, starting new activities, and the start of the holiday season requires a renewed commitment to time management. If you are like me, once you start hearing the holiday music playing in stores, it can feel like life is moving way too fast.
Truth be told, most days, we are all running in separate directions with different schedules so I need to put together quick meals we can take to work, to school and for the weekend. I want to spend less time in the kitchen and serve up good food, fast.
Sandwiches are always my go-to but if my family is like yours, everyone has a different take on what kind of sandwich they prefer. If you are looking for sandwich inspiration, I made three delicious sandwich choices for dad, mom, and child- all from the same lunch meat.
When making sandwiches for the family, you can please everyone with top quality Eckrich deli meats from Walmart.
Three Lunches from One Lunchmeat – Hearty, Healthy and Happy!
In most families, dad wants a hearty sandwich, mom wants a healthy sandwich, and the kids want a simple yet happy sandwich. Luckily we can make everyone happy with the Eckrich Black Forest Ham that I have freshly sliced at the deli at Walmart.
Tip – I ask for it to be sliced a little thicker because I also like to use the ham in dinner recipes too. I also love to use Eckrich Ham in omelets, quiche, frittatas, as a pizza topping, and with cheese and crackers as a delicious snack. Check out all the amazing recipes available on Eckrich’s website here: eckrich.com/recipes.
Eckrich has a full line of quality natural smoked and natural juice hams.
- Eckrich Ham Off the Bone – Premium flavor from its own natural juices, getting all the delicious flavor of the bone-in meat.
- Eckrich Virginia Baked Ham – Cured in the traditional Virginia style, it has a slight sweetness and is baked to stay wonderfully juicy.
- Eckrich Cooked Ham – My favorite ham for recipes
- Eckrich Chopped Ham – Great traditional texture and flavor of this classic chopped or “chipped ham.”
My family loves the Eckrich Black Forest Ham. It has the traditional, intense Black Forest Ham taste thanks to it being dry cured and smoked. Each slice is full of flavor, so it’s delicious even on its own, but also makes the most amazing sandwiches.
Just like the story of the Three Bears, each sandwich is “just right.”
The Child Sandwich
Ingredients:
- Eckrich Black Forest Ham
- Cheddar cheese
- 1 Apple Slice
- 1 Grape, Halved
- Mustard
- Mayonnaise
- 2 Slices Wheat Bread
Make the kids “happy sandwiches” by cutting both slices of wheat bread in a circle with a sandwich cutter or knife. Lightly coat one side of each slice of bread with mayonnaise and mustard. On the bottom slice of bread layer on the Eckrich Black Forest Ham followed by a slice of cheese. Add the other slice bread, top with the apple slice for the mouth and the halved grape for eyes and watch this sandwich put a smile on your kid’s face. Don’t forget the love note!
Here are two more “happy sandwiches” for inspiration!

To make Mom a delicious “healthy sandwich”, thinly coat one side of each slice of bread or tortilla with mayonnaise and mustard. Layer on the Eckrich Black Forest Ham, Swiss Cheese, Spinach, Tomato, and Avocado on the bottom. Top the sandwich with the second slice of bread or tortilla and cut into quarters.
The Dad Sandwich

Tip: Make a Sandwich Station When You Entertain
We love to get together with family and friends to watch football on the weekends. So I can enjoy the game too and get out of the kitchen, I set up a sandwich station with Eckrich deli meats. sandwich.
My family loves these sandwiches and I love how quickly they come together. I can spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying my family and our favorite activities. I also love that all of my friends and family members can enjoy Eckrich Deli Meats because they are always gluten-free.
