Tim and I are huge, just Huge fans of tuna sandwiches. When we go for hikes, we always pack some tuna to take with us and when we don’t we are miserable the whole way back, talking about Panera bread and their tuna sandwich.

This is our staple sandwich that I make pretty much on a weekly basis, especially now that it’s so hot out and I don’t cook as much at home. This sandwich is almost an exact copy of Panera Bread tuna sandwich, or at least we think so.
