Two little cooks are born...

Continuing on with asking what the girls would like to create in the kitchen, my oldest made a delicious sandwich for her lunchbox this morning- leftover avocados mushed with a little vegan mayonnaise spread on one piece of organic whole wheat bread, on the other she spread hummus, then laid spinach on top.   My heart swelled with pride!

One of my favorite lunch places

The other day I found myself driving around Atlanta running a lot of necessary but mindless errands after a pretty hard workout that morning.   I realized I was starving, not the kind of oh, I can get a quick smoothie and be fine, or maybe a nice salad.  I wanted something that would sustain me and that was really, really good.  I knew exactly - the veggin out sandwich at Lotta Frutta in the Old Forth Ward.  I was on the other side of town but drove all the way there to get this amazing sandwich.  I asked them to leave off the cheese, and I have them replace the sprouts with micro greens.  It has an amazing creamy avocado spread, and tomatoes, toasted like a panni and the bread is out of this world.  Note - I have not asked if the bread is vegan - will do so on next trip.  But regardless this sandwich is amazing.  And, you can't beat the atmosphere, fun people, bright colors and a place I love to hang out and enjoy my food.  As an added bonus - creative smoothies and fruit cups to complement the sandwich.  My husband, and one daughter approve also.
