Vegetable Hummus Sandwich
This week has been crazy. I was sick for most of the week, Monday-Wednesday. I worked on Thursday, and now it is already my weekend. My schedule is all messed up, I haven't gotten enough done this week, but I guess that is life. I am just glad I am feeling better for the weekend.
Next Friday we will be in California for the Blogher Food Conference. I am beyond excited. I can't wait to meet up with fellow food bloggers and learn more about food blogging. San Francisco is also one of my favorite cities, Josh proposed at a park overlooking the Golden Gate bridge, so the city is special for us:) If you are going to the conference leave a comment and let me know so I can look for you:)
Have you tried Arnold or Orowheat Thins? (They are Orowheat in Utah). I finally found them and love them! They make the best healthy sandwiches. One thin has 100 calories, 5 grams of fiber, and is made with whole grains and no fructose corn syrup.
Yesterday I made a tasty veggie sandwich. I spread my thin with hummus and added lettuce, lemon cucumber slices, fresh garden tomatoes, red and green pepper strips, and fresh basil. It was delicious!
I also like fresh peanut or almond butter, banana slices, and agave nectar sandwiches. You really can top these thins with anything. They are a great base for a healthy meal or snack.
Have a Happy Friday!
Vegetable Hummus Sandwich
1 Arnold or Orowheat Sandwich Thin
Hummus
Lettuce
Lemon Cucumber Slices
Tomato slices
Red and green pepper strips

Toast the sandwich thin-optional but I like to. Spread hummus on the thin and add veggies. You can use whatever veggies you like. Feel free to add meat or cheese if you wish.

Lovely sandwich!!
Hang in there with the busyness, dear Maria!
Stay strong with being so busy and have a blast at the conference!
I love sandwiches like this!!! hummus makes everything better :)
Love this combo! Arnolds thins rock! I buy them almost every week. Glad to hear you're feeling better. Have fun in San Fran (I'm so jealous!!)
Arnold thins are great! And that is a great sandwich. I have never tried lemon cucmbers...I'll have to look for them.
I wish I was going to Blogher but it was too close to the India trip. I am going to Foodbuzz though & looking forward to getting back to SF. My husband also proposed in SF though it was while watching the Iron Chef Battle Bacon.
Glad you are feeling better. You'll be all healed in time for SF! I've never seen those thins but that looks like a great sandwich. I love hummus almost more than my children.
I love those bread thins - I eat them everyday for lunch. This sandwich looks perfect to me.
I'm glad those thins are finally available everywhere. Will have to try them soon.
Hope you are feeling better! Have a blast in SF!! I'll be there in november with foodbuzz, so exciting!
That would make a perfect lunch. I tried the thins a while ago but haven't had them recently. I love toasting them.
Have fun at the conference. Wish I could go!
Glad your feeling better. Your sandwich sure looks like a winner!
Mmmm, I love veggie and hummus sandwiches. The Arnold Thins are great, why didn't someone think of them years ago.
I'm going to have to look for the thins... they look perfect as I don't like thick bread for my sandwiches. Have fun in CA!
Hope you are feeling better! The veggie hummus sandwich sounds healthy & yummy!
Thanks for the tip about Arnold Thins. I've got to look for them. They sound perfect.
PB&B sandwiches do indeed rock. I like mine with honey. I have to be careful how many I eat though 'cause the 'naners do funny things to my digestive tract.
Enjoy the conference. What a great thing for you. Sounds like a great time.
Your proposal story is so sweet!
I have seen those thins but I've never tried them. I'll have to get some.
Glad you're feeling better!
i love arnold wheat thins and have made similar sandwiches! i also love to eat turkey burgers on them--so much better than a big bun that masks the flavor of the burger!
oh my do those look great! I love hummus but have never thought about using it in a sandwich!
Perfect! I'm so glad you're feeling better, and how fun that you're heading to a place that holds such wonderful memories.
I have tried those thins-they're very good!

A delightfully healthy sandwich!

I like the sandwich thins. Although I must admit I don't put vegetables on them. They are pretty good with Nutella though!
This looks delicious! Love those thins!
Love those sandwich thins - and what a lovely sandwich! Yum, yum.

I've been searching for those thins! I just recently found out they have them at Costco so I'm all over that!

I have seen those at Costco and wondered how they were, but they looked like something fun and different for a sandwich. Yummy!
