Favorite Sandwich

I have a favorite veggie sandwich recipe, which I've decided to share here.
First, a little backstory.
This recipe originated from a little local health food shop named Karen's, which to my knowledge no longer has a food counter, or is even in business.
My mom took my brother and I to this place to pick up vitamins and at some point she tried this Avocado sandwich, thought it was excellent and had us try it.
The ingredients were simple, if not a bit unusual. Sprouted grain bread, soy cheese (think, cheddar), avocado, tomato, alfalfa sprouts, and for seasoning, a few dashes of cayenne pepper and Spike seasoning. I loved it!
Keep in mind that I was 14 or 15 at the time and "health food" stores were new territory for us.
But this sandwich had us buying our own bottle of Spike and a container to grow your own sprouts so we could recreate this at home.
I have made this sandwich with actual cheddar cheese instead of soy cheese, used lettuce in place of the sprouts when I did not have any, and used whatever sandwich bread I had and it's still great.
Yum! Enjoy your sandwich experience!

Here are the ingredients again:

Avocado Sandwich

Sprinkle with Spike and cayenne, then add cheese.
Place under broiler or in toaster oven to melt cheese.
On other half place sprouts/lettuce. Put sandwich together and eat.

For the love of one

I have experienced some major changes since I last blogged here. My husband and I had a baby. (!!!!) So life is all about feedings, and diapers, and toting the munchkin around. :-) It really is great. I was bracing myself for the worst, but we have been blessed with the most evenkeel baby I've ever encountered. Not to say that every day is a walk in the park, but overall I feel very fortunate that the difficult days are so few.

Time change...

Losing an hour of sleep and not being able to get around it, yeah, that is a great way to spend a weekend. X-p If I seem a little snippy it's just because I'm tired.

On to a less boring topic... food! I spent quite some time today on www.justhungry.com looking through recipes and finding some that I would like to try. I have had success with a few recipes from there before, so I like to go there when I need a good Japanese food recipe. :-)

I am not coming up with anything else to talk about right now. Until next time...

Sleep, who needs it?!

I must not be tired because I am writing away on here. Nothing really is on my mind, but I am a bit hyped up about this weekend.

You see, my husband and I are attending a conference with our church youth group and we are adult sponsors. This is a bit bizarre to me because I have only ever attended these kinds of things before as a student. I am really not sure what I am supposed to do except make sure no one gets left behind. Oh, well.

Here's hoping that it's a good experience all around.

Back in the saddle...

Blogging again. I used to be a more regular blogger/writer years ago, but for whatever reason drifted away. So I shall attempt again to collect my thoughts in blog form (even if the only one reading them is me).

My reason for blogging hinges on the idea that I need to exercise my brain, and I find writing is a great tool. I am somewhat concerned that I will have a hard time coming up with things to write about as my life is quite humdrum 89% of the time.

I shall persevere. Welcome!
