Sandwiches and Wraps
In diner lingo, anything spinach is called “Popeye,” hence the name for this variation on the classic club sandwich. Although we often
see club sandwiches with a third slice of bread, they were originally made with two slices. Some people believe the name came from the club cars, which date back to the late 1800s.

Recently, someone I know told me that she’d eaten a vegan “Elvis” sandwich in a New York City eatery. Curious, I learned that Elvis Presley’s favorite sandwich was grilled peanut butter, banana, and bacon. It does sound strange, but the combination is curiously good in its vegan rendition. The biggest modification is that vegan bacon is used, of course; natural, organic peanut butter and whole grain bread make it healthier. It’s a bit intense, but for an athlete of either gender or a hungry teen, this could be a big hit. Multiply the ingredients given here for more sandwiches. It makes a great school lunch. Read More→

This sandwich spread is so simple, yet every time I make it, it disappears quickly. Even tofu skeptics love it. Since all you really need for this is the first three ingredients, it hardly qualifies as a recipe, and you won’t even need to consult this after you make it once. The last two ingredients, though entirely optional, are highly recommended. If I’m having guests for lunch or brunch on weekends, I often make a batch of this as an extra, no matter what else I’m serving. Read More→
