Earlier this semester I was faced with a choice, take a standard class with straightforward expectations and pull my dog out of agility or do an independent study course. I looked at my pup, who is kind of like my kid. I decided he loved agility and that it was the one night a week I consistently spend doing something for him.
So now I’m in an independent study course that has me thinking PhD and my pup is still doing his once a week agility class. I had a classmate video us as we practiced last night (they are pretty short), and I hope you’ll agree that it was the right decision.
Of course sometimes he demonstrates that he’s no dummy. In the first cheat, he skips a jump but makes the second jump so he will get his treat. In the second, well lets say the mini course was jump, jump, tunnel, jump, get treats that are already on the table.
Now that you’ve seen me gush about my pup how about one of my favorite sandwiches. I don’t have a what I would feed a vegan post lined up for this week, but check out Sandra’s menu from last week if you want to do a guest post it’s on a first come first serve basis.
Anyways, I love this sandwich. It’s been my profile picture on the Sometimes I Veg facebook page for at least a week. I only get to make it when I have two very different types of hummus in the house. Complimentary flavors like roasted red pepper hummus and garlic chive hummus. But you could really mix it up and put a red pepper lentil hummus with a mint pea hummus.
I would recommend not using a bagel and thick cutting your vegetables like I did for the picture. I could barely fit the thing in my mouth. But in my opinion, this sandwich looks amazing.
I want one right now.

Who says that vegan sandwiches aren’t appetizing and delicious. I remember on rowing trips when the vegetarian sandwich option was cheese, a little bit of lettuce and some tomato. The same stuff the meat eaters had, but without any meat. Our sandwich provider clearly thought that vegetarian = bread and cheese eaters. There wasn’t even any kind of appetizing dressing on the sandwich. It was always an epic fail.
What is your favorite sandwich or wrap combination?

You are killing me! Lentil hummus? How have I never thought of that? And Cooper is crazy cute and crazy smart. This post is too much goodness to handle.

I first heard of lentil hummus when I saw this company’s line of product http://eatwell-enjoylife.com/our-hummus/. If you can find it great, otherwise, I just love to make hummus with leftover lentils or beans that are hanging out in my fridge that I didn’t need for the salad I was making. Leftover beans, a clove of garlic, a dash of salt and olive oil in my food processor. A healthy snack that prevents leftovers from going bad.
I love making giant sandwiches with just veggies and hummus (and usually some mustard for dressing)! It’s fun to create a sandwich or wrap with whatever you can find in the fridge and discover new combinations – when I was at my parent’s place recently, I raided their fridge and came up with the best wrap! I don’t usually have more than one kind of hummus in my fridge, but I love the idea of combining them in the same sandwich… I also like the combination of avocado slices with sprouts.

If I’m in a not-making-my-own-hummus kick I often use the leftover hummus from the week before and the new tub from the grocery store. Today’s sandwich actually has sno peas, sprouts and red peppers with red pepper hummus.
Hearing about your lunch and looking at these pictures again makes me not very excited about my own lunch anymore haha…I have a pumpernickel bagel but the only veg I brought for it is cucumber!
Adorable pup! And way to go with the training courses, love to see people doing stuff with their dogs. And we must both have hummus on the mind, because there’s a bag of thawing peas in my fridge, waiting for me to get home from work and make them into “hummus.”
ALSO–new header? I like!

I love pea hummus
And the Coop is the Bomb.
Thanks for the compliment on the header. I’m hoping to do some kind of a full redesign some day (just don’t know when I would ever find the time)
how cute is your intelligent pup! and that sandwich does look so scrumptious.. though only about a third of the width will fit in my mouth:) i will eat a decontsructed sandwich:)

I had to smush it down to get it to fit in mine. I usually do it with plain bread. But the bagel just made for way better pictures (or I think my mouth is huge!)
this sandwich looks absolutely divine… cannot wait to try it. But please, “epic fail”? why? why? why? lol, sorry that expression drives me crazy
still a great recipe so i’ll let it slide . Thanks! cant wait to make this!!!
First off, love the decision you made. Stimulation is so good for dogs, and poodles – well, they are so smart and love the stimulation of agility.
Second, I”ve been a vegetarian since I was 14 (I”m 34) and I loved the cheeseburger with no meat until I met my husband and he introduced me to things like hummus and mushroom burgers. Vegetarian use to be all about the bun and cheese for me – and I really didn”t mind it. Of course, now I love so many crazy things that I never thought of before. And this sandwich looks yummy. My husband will love you for the idea.
