a really yummy (healthy) sandwich

i recently discovered how easy it is to roast my own bell peppers, (wash them, seed them, cut them in half & bake on a foil-covered baking sheet at 450 for 20-30 mins, until the skins start to blacken & blister, then throw them in a ziplock for 30 mins & the skins come right off.) anyways, i've been making them & keeping them in the fridge to use all week, & found a really tasty random sandwich this morning.
i toasted bread, spread it with cream cheese, put on some roasted red bell peppers & a little red wine vinegar, salt & pepper & it was soooo good. its also really tasty with some sliced cucs or zucchini, or romaine, & i'm pretty sure it would be good with tomatoes instead of peppers too...

  1. That is WAY too healthy. You should be ashamed. ;)

  2. This sounded so yummy that I had to try it. I can never get the roasting of the peppers right though. Mine take much longer to blacken & blister, and the skins never just come off. And the peppers end up being mush. They still taste good, but are annoying to work with. Hmmph. Never would have thought the cream cheese would be good on a sammich, either.
    I roasted some garlic and zucchini with the peppers, and along with the cream cheese, I threw some avocado, lettuce, tomato and a little salt on sourdough bread. YUM!! Thanks for the idea, I was getting sick of the same old lunch ideas over and over :)
