Sandwiches have come a long way since peanut butter and jam or a classic BLT. Here are a few ways to liven up your lunch box. Serve these in whole grain pitas, on sprouted grain bread, on a multi grain bun, or atop a bed of mixed greens for a no-grain option.

Classic Ratatouille

I made this for the Sept ’07 potluck with all the great vegetables from my food share from the Owen Sound market. Simple, no skill required! I put the leftovers in a pot, added a bit of water, and pureed with a handblender for instant soup. Also a quite tasty meal!
