For the Love of the Sandwich

A couple of years ago, I discovered that I am sensitive to gluten. While I am not all out allergic to it, my belly hurts and I look about 4 months pregnant after eating it. 

Luckily, for some unusual reason, I am able to eat sprouted grain bread, such as Ezekiel brand, or Trader Joe's, Central Market, or whatever your local store carries. 

With the bounty of beautiful tomatoes that I am oh so lucky to have access to, one of my favorite lunches is veggie sandwiches. I toast my sprouted grain bread, lay on a very thin layer of Veganaise, add sliced tomatoes (w salt and pepper, of course), avocados, lettuce, and whatever veggies I can add (sprouts, cucumbers, red peppers, spinach). The sandwiches always vary with their fillers, but they are delicious, 100% of the time. 

My biggest trick to enjoying the plant based lifestyle is by using my imagination...whether to recreate old standbys or to experiment with new ingredients and methods. 

Enjoy!!
