If you need an easy lunch idea, this salami cream cheese sandwich is a great choice. You can meal prep this sandwich a day before and keep it in the fridge or freezer until you're ready to eat it. To avoid soggy bread, assemble this sandwich on frozen bread and it should thaw out before you or your kids settle for lunch.
