Sandwiched!!!

Four easy, simple, delicious and quick school lunch box Sandwich recipes, these are also my absolute favorites. Why you ask? Well for one, these sandwiches are made of fresh vegetables and since they taste so good, no one is complaining. And because they are so super easy and take barely minutes to make, I end up having some time of my own in the mornings.

Now while I talk of these sandwiches as kids' lunch ideas, they taste scrumptious and I am sure parents would love to sneak in a bite. Please pack one for your work lunch, and let me know how you liked them :) Or just eat them at home for lunch or dinner or as a snack like I do.

I always prefer "Sourdough bread", this happened after I watched a documentary on Netflix about "Bread" couple of years ago. Bread was explained so well there, and turns out that Sourdough bread recipe is the only bread recipe that is the "properest" of all, so much so that if made the right way, people with gluten allergy will also be able to consume it. I am not sure if the bread I buy are made the "right" way, since I get them mostly from department/grocery stores, but I did get a chance to test this statement made by the documentary in a way. I had gestational diabetes during my second pregnancy and I struggled to portion my carbs correctly, and observed that my blood tests were always better if I ate a Sourdough bread compared to other varieties like Multigrain, Whole Wheat etc. BTW, while we are still on the topic of gestational diabetes, the best carb out there is Quinoa! Its the most amazing grain!
