It’s been a long, cold, and un-relentless winter, but it’s icy claws have finally released us! Sunshine and flowers and birds and green things are here once again, and it makes me crave fresh and light veggie-based foods. Last night for dinner, we had a family favourite… salad rolls. I think the kids like it as much for the flavour as for being able to make their own (very interestingly shaped) rolls.

Leftover vermicelli noodles, shredded carrots, sliced red peppers, iceberg lettuce, lots of cilantro and some peanut sauce, all piled on and rolled up into a rice paper wrap. Bring on the sunshine… I want to eat more fresh meals like this.

I’m not sure what it is about this flavour combination that says comfort food to me but it does. There are so many dishes you could make with these same ingredients, but a long time favourite is a simple, and nearly perfect (bacon could perhaps better it) sandwich.

Two pieces of soft bread toasted lightly, slathered with mayo and given a generous sprinkling of cayenne pepper. One slice topped with iceberg lettuce and avocado, the other with thinly sliced tomatoes and extra old cheddar cheese. Freshly ground black pepper on everything and yum.
