You're Just Gonna Have To Trust Me -a new take on an old favorite.

My love affair with food started before I was born. For generations people in my family have been laying the ground work for my life of food lust, before my arrival on earth. 

Food and family fit together so nicely. It is in kitchens among my beloved kin, not in class or in Michelin star restaurants, that I have learned the most about the philosophy of cooking (and 'un'cooking) and have developed the most in my appreciation for food and the joy, love and health it can bring all of us. 

We have a variety of different types of eaters and chefs in the group. Some of us are more into the eating and some find great pleasure in preparing and sharing. Either way it's fun times for everyone!

It should then come as no surprise that our family has a family sandwich!

I've heard of some others who prepare and enjoy this unusual dish but I still call it an Andrews family sandwich. This is based on the large number of people who eat it and stand behind it's bizarre ingredients, in our group. 

Our special way of preparing it and the 'secret' ingredient has been passed down to the Andrews grandchildren and now great grandchildren.

So what is this glorious preparation?

Peanut Butter and Dill Pickles!!!!!!!!!

Our traditional Preparation:

TOASTED grainy bread

Peanut butter slather ( I like chunky)

Sliced dill pickles ( the best are the ones grandpa makes )

Leafy greens

and the secret.......... a little mayo

YUCK? 

You have no idea how far off you are. Please trust me, your ignorance is causing you suffering that you do not deserve, or at least preventing an explosively blissful experience from entering your life.

Anyway, I no longer find mayo blissful and traditional bread makes me feel a little to explosive in way of bloating these days so.....

I now honor family tradition this vegan, semi-raw way

-Puffed rice cakes

-Raw peanut butter or I like raw almond butter better

-Cauliflower 'mayo'

       -cauliflower, oil, lemon, salt  

        blended 

 -Yummy, creamy avocado (I had no pickles)

-mache

-Radish 

-Smoked black pepper

Simple and easy and makes me feel like the kid that I am!

So finally,

 thank you family for the love and the weird sandwiches.
