My mother and I have been looking for ways to eat healthier, and this includes putting veggies into everything we eat. This sandwich makes a great light lunch or an afternoon snack, and with fresh cucumber, it feels summer-ready. You can use any kind of sandwich bread, but I'm a big fan of artisanal buns :)

Veterinary assistant, home cook, baker.If it's a personal favourite, family favourite, coworker favourite, frequently eaten favourite... it's here. These recipes are considered among the best/most popular ones I make. So I'm being very selective.I bake more often than I cook (about once a week). Cooking is pretty much a family affair, while I do the majority (translate: 99.9%) of the baking. But my family and friends are very willing guinea pigs when it comes to taste testing ;)Any childhood recipes that make it here are likely to be heavily influenced by my mother and grandmother, both from Newfoundland.
