According to Thinkquest.com, Friday, November 3 is National Sandwich Day. Legend has it that in 1762, John Montagu, fourth Earl of Sandwich, "invented" the sandwich because he was too busy gambling to stop for a traditional meal. Celebrate the sandwich with these deliciously nutritious and convenient recipes from Mealtime.org.

Beef-Ciabatta Stack with Beet-Horseradish Spread
The Earl of Sandwich would be very impressed with this beef sandwich, which blends the flavors of horseradish, mushrooms and beets. A gourmet sandwich by any measure, this recipe uses several canned ingredients that won't leave you stranded in the kitchen.

Potato-Spinach Chowder
Amp up your basic sandwich with this delicious soup. Inspired by colcannon (an Irish peasant dish made of potato, onion and kale), this chowder gets its convenience and plenty of nutrition from canned potatoes, as well as spinach. Deep-green, canned spinach delivers plenty of beta carotene.*

*Canned Spinach Safety: Because of the high heat used during the commercial canning process, there is no risk of E. coli contamination in canned spinach or any other canned food products. The canning process promotes food safety.
