When dinner needs to be really quick, it's hard to beat sandwiches. But don't settle for cold cuts or peanut butter-and-jelly. Sure, PB-and-J is easy, but you can prepare much more satisfying hot sandwiches that are ready in minutes. Your family will love oven-toasted Proscuitto and Fontina Paninis or Monte Cristo Sandwiches, a spiffed-up version of grilled ham and cheese.

Serve any of these recipes with a simple but flavorful salad of tomatoes and red-onion slices drizzled with low-fat balsamic dressing and you've got a complete meal.
