Living next door to my mom in law definitely has its perks.

Not everyone can say that.

But then, not everyone lives next to Paula Deen, Martha Stewart, and Meryl Streep all rolled into one.

The other day as I was working, Carole was getting ready to head to a lunch party; she was making little tomato sandwiches to bring with her.

She totally gave me a couple of her little tomato sandwiches to snack on.

I don’t know if this is a Southern thing, but I’d never had a little tomato sandwich before we went to the Best of Savannah party last year. The ingredients are super simple, and making em is just as easy.

They’re the perfect finger food or party snack for your next get together. I could eat like five hundred of them in one sitting.

Little Tomato Sandwiches Recipe

You’ll need:

• white bread
• mayo
• tomato, sliced

Cook it up:

1. Spread a thin layer of mayo on your slices of white bread.
2. Make your sandwich with one slice of tomato between two pieces of bread.
3. Cut the crusts off, or get fancy and use some cute cookie cutters.
4. Repeat until you have a whole plate of sandwiches.
5. Eat all the sandwiches.
6. Make another plate of sandwiches before company comes over.
7. Try to restrain yourself this time; you are a lady after all.

Have you had little tomato sandwiches before?

Where in the world do you live? Is this really a southern thing, or just a Steph’s been living under a rock thing? Tell me in the comments!
