meatless monday (on tuesday): caprese sandwich

Lunch is often a challenging time. I'm hungry, I want something fast, and I want something good. My "go to" sandwich lately has been the easiest of easy to make and oh so delicious.  I didn't have a name for it until I decided to post something about it here. I'm pretty sure it was just called, "Ally's Awesome Sandwich" but now I'll coin it as the "Caprese Sandwich." All you need is the following: Arnold's sandwich thins, fresh mozzarella, basil pesto, and a tomato. Build your sandwich to your liking and voila! you have lunch. I'm guilty of cheating on the co-op and purchasing most of this stuff from Costco. The pesto there is a ginormous jar (of course) and costs the same price as the little, itty bitty jar at the store. Also, Costco has these logs of mozzarella for a really reasonable price. And yes, those sandwich thins are there too. So that's that. 


Sorry for not posting this on Monday like I was supposed to. I found that my day was perfectly content just hanging outside on the front porch soaking up this last bit of amazing weather. Really, I just can't get enough of it. They are saying it could possibly even be close to 90 later this week. 90?! In October?! All I can help but think about is how this is one sick joke being played by the weather gods. I can hear the banter now, "We'll trick them with a warm, cloudless fall day and then BAM! bring them to reality with frigid, can't feel your toes weather." Yep, folks. The glass is half empty today. ;)
