Alvarado Street Bakery flax seed bread

I say tomato, too!! One of my favorite summery sandwiches is tomato and cheese. I find myself eating it in the dead of winter, too, but it really is best in the summer when tomatoes are in season. Unfortunately, tomatoes aren’t in season here in NY, but let’s pretend they are.

While Dustin was at the doctor’s office, I had lunch with the kitties. Well, they were sunbathing on the floor, but at least they kept me company, lol. I made a fabulous little tomato + cheese sandwich on Alvarado Street Bakery flax seed bread:

Carrot sticks + Barney Butter + Snyder’s unsalted mini pretzels on the side

• 2 slices Alvarado Street Bakery flax seed bread (100 cal) with 2 slices Sargento reduced fat Swiss cheese (120 cal), 2 tomato slices (15 cal), and 1 TBSP Hellmann’s olive oil mayo (50 cal)
• 1 carrot (20 cal), 1 TBSP Barney Butter (90 cal) and 14g Snyder’s unsalted mini pretzels (55 cal)

Calories: 450, 285 just for the sandwich

‘Twas delish! Took just a few minutes to make and it was nice and light.

It’s a gorgeous day outside. I’m going to workout and then drag Dustin to the store with me this evening. I have to pick up ingredients for tomorrow night’s dinner, plus make a carrot cake, and possibly a vanilla bean cheesecake for Dustin’s birthday. My baking skills aren’t that great, so this is going to be a challenge.

Does anyone have an awesome carrot cake recipe and/or a vanilla bean cheesecake recipe? I’d rather have word of mouth experience than a random recipe online. Help!
