Wordeful sandwich! I left out the powdered sugar and reduced the butter. But even after I reduced the butter it was still buttery for my taste. I used mustard instead of mayo and I also used whole wheat bread! Thanks Laurale for sharing this tasty recipe! Made it for PAC Fall 2007 -

<br>Of course, I love to cook and bake. Desserts seem to be my specialty, however my husband & I like Mexican, Southwest, Greek, and Italian cuisine alot. Healthy food(soy milk, tofu etc.), alot of raw vegetables and made from scratch comprise much of our diet. I have always had problems cooking fish, tho we do like to eat fish. We are both retired.

<br>I love Labrador Retreivers and have owned, trained and shown several very nice ones!

<br>My husband and I are both natives of Colorado, however somehow we ended up living in St. George Utah, in the South west corner, near Zion, Bryce, & Grand Canyon National Parks, which we enjoy alot. Before the price of gasoline took a jump, I volunteered at Zion NP.
