I just made John a sammitch.... 
He thought it was divine. All I did was put some roasted red peppers (from a jar, but they are easy enough to make) on toasted bread with mustard. I guess this isn't really a recipe, it's just that roasted red peppers are good on sammitches. You can buy roasted peppers in a jar at the store. If you want to make some yourself, get some red bell peppers, put them in the oven heated to 425 degrees F, bake until blackened on the bottom. I put them in our cast iron skillet. Take em out and eat them. Yummy. We put them on a sammitch with a microwaved portabella mushroom, or arugula and fake cream cheese (by Tofutti).

Other things we eat.... I get eggless vegetarian egg rolls, frozen, microwave for a minute, and wrap it up in a sheet of nori with some chopped avocado on it. This is amazing.

Amy's cheeseless roasted vegetable pizza is great. It's got caramelized onions, shiitake mushrooms, and artichoke hearts on it. We put avocado on it after cooking, and sometimes tomatoes too. This makes it completely awesome. In the freezer at your health food store.

One of our latest food obsessions is with Thai Kitchen brand little packages of instant rice noodles with different flavor packets. By far our favorite is the Bangkok Curry, and I've found a way to make this delicious-on-it's-own snack into a huge hearty delicious meal. In olive oil sauté onions, after a couple minutes add shiitake mushrooms, a little later, broccoli (carrots too, if ya want), and cook until tender. Add fresh frozen soybeans (sometimes called sweet beans) and fresh or frozen peas, corn, and spinach.  Sauté another couple of minutes, then add two cups water and the seasoning and oil packets from two packages of Thai Kitchen Instant Rice Noodles in the flavor of your choice (other available flavors are garlic & vegetable, lemon grass & chili, and onion). Add in a little extra seasoning, I use prepared Thai seasoning. Once the frozen veggies are thawed out, add the rice noodles (sometimes I add a bit of extra noodles that I buy plain), and cook until the noodles are soft, just a few minutes. Oh, joy!

Richer variation - use vegetable stock instead of the water. Oh, yum!
Extra rich variation - add in a couple tablespoons of peanut butter or peanut sauce with the water or stock. Oh, my!
Extra extra rich variation - add in half to a whole can of coconut milk with the peanut butter or peanut sauce and cut down the water or stock a bit. Oh, BABY!
