Heart Attack Sandwich ~ Perfect weekend (or weekday) food for a crowd, made quickly and easily ! #Sandwich www.withablast.net

The other day I had a nap – supposed to be a usual 1-2 hour nap. Anyway, hubby left me sleeping from 11 am and I only woke up after 4 pm ! Gulp ! Really ..

Therefore, dinner had to be a quick one and I came up with this Heart Attack Sandwich. I was almost done as my son walked in and asked “what is this called”.

Normally I would have thrown a tantrum at a question like that. However, after I started blogging, especially about food, it is a normal question asked in our house.

Without thinking I answered him with ” It’s a Heart Attack Sandwich ” to which he looked intrigued, but not really surprised ! And then the name stuck ..

I would not advise anyone to eat something like this on a regular basis. Especially people with high blood cholesterol.

Have I ever mentioned my daughter and I have this irritating condition? No? Okay, we do, but she wasn’t home and well, I am not really watching what I eat as I should.

Right, enough, this is anyway a real.to.die.for. ultimate sandwich !
