This will quickly become your new favorite sandwich.  I know it did for me.  What's nice about this organic artichoke sundried tomato sandwich is that it isn't too dry or to wet.  You won't have to grab for the water or the napkin.

 
2 slices organic whole wheat bread  
1 Tbsp. Veganaise or Organic Mayo.  
1 Tbsp. Organic Mustard  
3 Quartered  Organic Artichokes, cut in half  
6 Organic Sun Dried Tomatoes  
3 Organic Red Lettuce Leafs or Organic Baby Spinach  
1 Slice Organic Cheese (your favorite)  

1. Spread the Organic Veganaise onto one side of the organic whole wheat bread.  Place cheese on the slice that you just covered with your vegenaise. 

2. Spreak the Organic Mustard onto the other piece of bread.  Place your organic sun dried tomatoes over the mustard and lay flat and evenly spread them. 
3. Take your quartered Organic Artichokes that you cut in half and place on top of the tomatoes.

4. Place Organic Leaf Lettuce or Organic Spinach onto the slice that has the cheese.

5. Merge the two sides togethor.

6. Enjoy!

Vegan "No-Chicken" Noodle Soup

This "no chicken" noodle soup is better than the original "chicken" noodle soup in my opinion.  This is quick and easy to make but tastes like you simmered it all day long.  Make sure you bring along your favorite organic crackers for dipping or crushing into the variation of the traditional classic.

After heating, place soup in thermos to preserve warmth.  Or, heat in the microwave at your workplace.

4 cups organic "no chicken" broth.  (whole foods carries this).

1 1/2 stalks organic celery.

1/4 cup organic yellow onion.

1/2 cup organic baby carrots, sliced or minced.

2 organic green onions, sliced and chopped.

3 Tbsp. Organic firm tofu, cubed (small cubes).

1 1/2 Tbsp. organic minced fresh parsley.

3 1/2 oz organic whole wheat fettuccine, broke into 2 inch strips.

1. Combine the organic "no chicken" broth, carrots, celery and onion in a large sauce pan over medium-medium high heat.  Simmer.  Reduce to low heat and add the fettuccine.  Simmer, partially covered, appx. 15 minutes.  Add tofu and green onions.

2. Simmer 5-10 more minutes, or until noodles are tender.  Remove from heat and stir in parsley.  Add sea salt and pepper to taste.
