What can I say, food is great!  Especially when you can find a great recipe that is good for you as well!


I came across this recipe in one of my cookbooks.  I finally decided to try it for lunch one day.  It really does make a great sandwich for lunch.  (I made it for lunch and chilled for 10 minutes and had lunch right away)  PLUS...if you use low-fat or fat free ingredients it's perfect for any diet plan.  :-)
