With tomato sandwiches, I prefer no spread at all, just tomatoes.
Possibly some thin slices of sharp cheddar (gets rather hard to eat
without making a mess, but what are you going to do?).

If you have a recipe, will you please start a new thread with
Easy Tomato Soup as the title? I love tomato soup, but I've never
made one I like.

Same here, it was too hot to wear clothes. When I was 5, my mother took
a photo of me standing next to my new bicycle. I was smiling from ear
to ear, showing my missing teeth, and I was not wearing a stitch of
clothing. lol There is also an Easter story but I will save that for
later.

It's the name Kraft used when they were advertising their
Fluff brand of marshmallow creme in the 1960s. Think happy
kids eating peanut butter and marshmallow creme sandwiches
in a TV commercial . . . "OH BOY! Fluffernutters! Thanks, Mom!"

You know, I haven't had marshmallow creme in the house in
probably 40 years, but this broiling idea makes me want to
go get some and try it. My grandson is coming to visit
this weekend . . . ;-)

one of my favorite snacks is good cheddar cheese with slivers of guava
paste on top. Just that, no bread. But I imagine it is pretty comparable
to your cheddar-jelly sandwiches.

I want to hear it. Do not wait until Easter! I think I already told the one
about my raised-Baptist father standing with the 3-year-old me at the back
of the Catholic church my mother attended with my older sisters. When the
priest rang the bell I yelled "WAIT A MINUTE!" because I thought it was The
Ice Cream Man.

Ritz crackers with cheddar and grape jelly is good too. I have never had
guava but I have been meaning to.

Thanks for the reminder.

Allll the time! But we just heavily buttered the toast, then sprinkled the
sugar, then the cinamon, and muddled them into the butter.

We made them with powdered sugar. The sugar melts into the butter better.

Sometimes with cinnamon, sometimes without.

I'm pretty sure you can substitute Nutella. Not sure how it would be

The boxes of Goya's Guava Paste (pasta de guayaba) cost about $2.69 at
my Publix. Go get some and try it with some good cheddar. It is a
sticky block that you have to peel the plastic off and your fingers will
stick to it, but once you get it uncovered it is easy to slice it up.
Good stuff, and I like it much better than guava jelly in a jar.

My local grocery store has a large Goya section. Next time I am there....

I think I saw a recipe somewhere for home made pop tarts with guava so,
I will have another use for it when I get it.

ROFL, that is pretty funny.

When I find the Easter photo, I will email it to you. My sister and I
are 4 & 5 yrs old, Mom has us all dolled up for Easter; little white
hats, gloves, poofy Easter dresses, white socks and shoes. My sister and
I are sitting on my Father's lap, one of us on each knee, and my Dad is
wearing no clothes. It is the funniest thing you've ever seen! lol

Toast the bread lightly first and don't leave it under the broiler too
long because the peanut butter melts. Let it cool a bit after
browning anyway so you don't burn your mouth. Oh, don't try to spread
the fluff over the peanut butter - it's a waste of time. Just dot it
on and it will spread together under the heat.

I don't know how much kids tastes have changed with all the healthy
eating going on these days, but it was a hit with me and the
generation that followed. :)

You know, after years of fiddling around with variants, I
rediscovered the joy of that plain egg salad when making it for my
daughter. I make mine very peppery though, and thanks to
something I read here, I now use copious quantities of both black
and white pepper.

In Hawaii we are also able to get/make guava jam. Thick, opaque and
you can feel the texture of real guava in it. That's what we make when
it is guava season. Guava Jelly is just too sweet although it is a
beautiful color. Look for Guava Jam.

I have two favorite sandwiches from my childhood:

Tuna (made with Hellmann's mayo, a tad of lemon juice, celery,
capers).

Grilled cheese (with mustard).

These are still my fallback positions for those types of sandwiches.

That is not the least bit mysterious. Look at the ingredients.
:-( If you want a really good tomato soup, try Amy's chunky
tomato bisque. Be careful not to get the low-sodium one. I like
to add a tad of Worcestershire Sauce.

I keep mine in a shaker, sounds like you make cinnamon toast enough to
do that too. An old salt shaker is just fine for the job although I
use an old spice islands shaker top jar. :)

Tomato soup is too easy to make. Why buy canned pre-made?

I really wish I had saved the labels from the old cans in mom's
pantry. I think they'd be very revealing.

Broiled! Well that would most certainly elevate this to a higher
level. Woe is me, I just started "being good".

Sure thing!

I just use a small can of tomato paste. Thin it to desired texture with
(for me) one can of water and one can of heavy cream. A pinch of garlic
and onion powder, a little lemon pepper (or dried lemon peel and black
pepper), 1 to 2 tsp. dried basil (or 2 tbs. fresh chopped basil if you
have it), then salt to taste.

It works best to keep it simple. :-)

To make a chunky soup, add one can of diced tomatoes (or blanch and peel
3 or 4 roma tomatoes and dice those).
