THE PERFECT SUMMER SANDWICH
Fresh produce hot off the grill makes an unbelievable sandwich. I use an indoor grill pan mainly because the onions can be hard to control on a grate-style grill (but you could poke a skewer through them to keep them from slipping through the grate). To make this off-season, you could mix some chopped sun-dried tomatoes (instead of fresh) into the goat cheese. For small children, this is surprisingly palatable and very healthy. Check out my last step for a tip on how to serve to little ones.

Steps:
- In a very large bowl, toss the vegetables (except onions) in enough olive to coat. Season generously with salt, pepper, and herbs de Provence. (You'll need to oil and season the onions on a flat surfact so they don't separate.).
- Grill the vegetables over medium-high heat in batches until they are done (have grill marks and are tender-crisp).
- Split the sandwich rolls with a serated knife, keeping one side intact. Spread 1 oz of goat cheese on each roll.
- Put a few slices of tomato on each roll and top with evenly divided portions of grilled vegetables. Serve immediately.
- Tip: For my 13-month-old, I diced all veggies except the onion and tomato. Then I tore the bread into very small pieces and tossed it with crumbled goat cheese. He loved it!

FAVORITE SUMMER SANDWICH
Tomato sandwiches of all kinds are a staple in a summer kitchen. This version, packed with thickly sliced, juicy garden tomatoes, can be a bit messy to eat. To make it easier, cut each sandwich in half, without the top slice of bread, then cut the remaining bread slices in half and place them on top. Use thinly sliced bread and the higher-fat ingredients such as avocado sparingly.

Steps:
- TO MAKE THE PESTO: In a food processor with the motor running, drop in the garlic clove and process. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the basil, olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, and pepper and process to form a loose paste. Transfer to a small bowl. Stir in the cheese and set aside. (Pesto can be refrigerated, covered, for as long as 24 hours. Bring to room temperature before serving.) TO MAKE THE RUB: In a small bowl mix together the rub ingredients. Spread the rub over both sides of the chicken breasts. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. Wipe most of the rub off the breasts with paper towels. Lightly brush or spray with olive oil. Grill over Direct Medium heat until the meat is firm and the juices run clear, 8 to 12 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling time. Remove from the grill. Slice on the bias into 1/2-inch strips. Cut the baguette lengthwise down the middle. Spread one half of the baguette with the pesto and the other half with the goat cheese, and layer the chicken, arugula, and red onion in between. Cut the baguette into four equal sections. Serve at room temperature.From Weber's Big Book of Grilling. Copyright © 2001 Weber-Stephen Products Co. All rights reserved. First published by Chronicle Books LLC, San Francisco, California.

- Use fresh, seasonal ingredients: Summer is the time for fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Take advantage of what's in season and use it in your sandwiches.
