Cruelty Free Sandwich Diet: Mexican Grilled Cheese Sandwich

By sidecars

Cruelty Free Diet: Why the name "Cruelty Free"? I am a vegetarian, and like meat. I just can't stomach the idea of killing an animal, so I had lots of what I called FAKE MEAT. My wife hated the name, so I changed to Cruelty Free, a sort of tongue in cheek choice. Vegan is totally cruelty free, and I'll get there someday.

Sandwiches, by their very nature, limit serving size, which is always a challenge. Sandwiches also allow SO many variations.

In a bread diet I read recently, you were told to eat between 10 and 16 slices of high fiber, low calorie bread every day. With these recipes you'll need to cut back from that, as the flavor and calorie levels are MUCH higher. Still, four sandwiches a day, augmented by some fruits and veggies as required, could still be a healthy and flavorful diet!

I am not a nutritionist. In fact,as my picture shows, I am an overweight spaceage guitar playing dog. I am going to replace my regular diet with this and will keep you updated.

Note: Take a look at the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker. That could be a great way to make these sandwiches at work... or at home.
