Alright... So. For the sandwich, toast a hotdog bun. Heat up some tomato sauce (I blended sauteed onion, garlic, canned tomatoes, Italian seasonings, and sugar free maple syrup) with a few lentil balls. Top with some goat cheese and fresh arugula!

Vegan Sandwiches Save the Day!
I won this cookbook in a contest a while back, and am reading it front to back. Don't judge. I've been trying out a few recipes, and here's the pictures from a couple:
Broccoli on an english muffin with hollindase sauce:
(I used this recipe for the muffins. Soooo much fun to make - you should try it, really. I used baking blend stevia for the sugar)
And these were called Greek Burgers:

What's Up Wednesday #2
Gingerbread Cookie Oatmeal. That's right. So sweet! A combination of Bottomless Oatmeal and Gingerbread Oatmeal (minus the molasses, lots of sugar free maple syrup, no coconut, steiva)
Been reading a good book: They Came to Baghdad by Agatha Christie. It's nice to actually read a book again, since I've been so busy with school work :D
I made these coconut flour sandwich thins (with guar gum and no nooch)! Since the bread that I've been using had milk in the ingredients list (!) I knew I had to switch. So, then I stumbled onto Foodie Fiasco - and WOW what a fabulous blog! So many low-cal, healthy things. Anyway, the sandwiches were super good. Although, next time, I would make 8 pieces instead of 4, and then there would be no need to cut them in half. (UPDATE: I did make the 8 pieces yesterday, and it worked marvelously!)
Pineapple-Orange Setian - using oatmeal for the soy flour, mirin for the olive oil, and leaving out the nooch. So, it was quite an ordeal to get this cooked! First, I steamed it for 30 minutes. It was still undone, so I baked it at 350 for 15 minutes. Then I had it in a stir fry, but it was still super gummy. the next day, I cut it into thin strips and grilled it on my panini press, and now it's OK! ;) Next time, I would just steam it for 45 minutes and then grill it. THAT should be muuuuch easier!
I've been enjoying this sandwich for lunch, on the sandwich thins that I made, with the Pineapple Orange Setian.
Super yummy salad dressing, a great way to use up that tomato paste in the fridge! ;)
(Of course with lots of changes: tomato paste for sauce, added LOTS of mirin, cider vinegar for the tarragon vinegar [have any of you ever seen this? I sure haven't], onion powder not juice, and Italian herbs in stead of dill)
And here's an interesting link that vegnews posted on facebook, in case you didn't read it: how being vegan saves water too! Wow, we're sooo good! ;)
Ok, so another VegNews story. Gross, or interesting? You decide!

Another Tofu-Avacado Sandwich
Um... I'm loving avacados... they're pretty good! I never knew what I was missing out on...
Sandwich adapted from here.
The sandwich was whole wheat bread, tofu mayo (partially cooked silken tofu blended with lemon juice), avacado, tofu, and bell pepper and onion.
The tofu was cut into slabs and marinated in soy sauce, liquid smoke, chili powder, and maple syrup. It was then grilled with the bell pepper and onion on the panini press.

A Rather Odd Sandwich
But it's sooo good. Weird how those odd combinations work out so well...
I used this bread, and one half got tofu mayo (partially cooked silken tofu blended with lemon juice), shredded carrots, and avacado. The other half got tofu mayo, apple slices, and almond cheese (pepperjack flavour). I know, odd. But tasty, nonetheless!

Chickpea and Onion Patties
Sorry, no picture tonight. It'll be up tomorrow!
This has been my lunch for this week, and it's YUMMMMYYY! :)
I put one burger on this bread, which I slather with tofu mayo. Shredded carrots go on the other half of the sandwich.
Adapted from here.
Mash 2 cups chickpeas, and stir in 1 small sauteed onion, 3 cloves sauteed garlic, parsely, cumin, nooch, coriander, sumac, pepper, lemon juice, 1 tsp baking powder, and 1 cup Italian flavoured bread crumbs. Add about 1/3 cup mirin and/or some water until it holds together. Shape into patties and bake.

Toasty Veggie Super Awesome Sandwich

Indulge in an amazing lunch, and savour every crunch. No rhyme intended.

Gourmet Grilled Cheese (It Comes With Veggies!)
Yeah, I know. It's not the healthiest thing in the world. And grilled cheese. Come on Basil, really? Yes- I would sink so low as to make a grilled cheese sandwich and post about it. But... this is much MORE than your average grilled cheese sandwich. It's got... veggies in it! Yeah- some onion and bell pepper. So that makes it unique. Perhaps I am not original. In fact, I know this is not original, beause I got the idea from Happy Healthy Life. But whatever. I have been craving a grilled cheese for quite some time, so this was something that was a compromise between unhealthy and healthy. As we all know, grilled cheeses are not all that good for a person. There's the bread first of all, which is not your most heathly food in the intire world. I think, though, I have minimized that because I used thin slices of homemade, whole wheat, fat free bread in this sandwich. Secondly, I used low fat cheese, so that got rid of some fat there. Finally, I know that 99% of those grilled cheeses out there on various recipe sites slather the outside of the bread with butter or oil, or something along those lines. I decided to totally omit that part, and let the bread do its stuff as far as browning goes. Plus, the addition of veggies made me feel much less guilty about eating this sandwich; moreover, (haha, I feel so sophisticated.. I used a semicolon) they added an extra boost of flavour and interest. So, yes. I was very satisfied with this little indulgence, and it went very nicely with a tomato-based soup for a rather... perked up traditional dinner, if I do say so myself. Another major added bonus was that this was so quick to make. I had come home from a summer cap totally exhausted, as usual (more on this in a later post), and this took very little effort to throw together. 
Gourmet Grilled Cheese SandwichAdapted from Happy Healthy Life
Serves 1
1 slice low fat cheese
A few slices of onion and red bell pepper
2 slices whole wheat bread
Heat a small frying pan over medium heat with a bit of nonstick spray. Sauté the onion and bell pepper without water, stirring almost constantly, until they start to burn/brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven broiler. Lay the slice of cheese on one slice of bread, then top with the veggies when they are done. Cover with the other slice of bread, and bake in the oven for about 3 minutes each side, or until each side begins to brown. Eat hot, with some tomato-based soup and a big salad!
