An ethical and honest approach to food policy, fitness and nutrition.

Perfecting the Vegetarian Sandwich: Part 3
Unlike Parts I & II, I did not make this sandwich myself.  I’ve been spending a significant amount of time (and cash) at Plenty, a brand new cafe in the Upper East Side which was seriously necessary.  This place has amazing coffee and pastries, as well as breakfast, lunch and dinner. 
I’ve been eyeing their veggie sandwich and today I gave it a try.  I don’t have the menu in front of me, but from what i can tell it has cheddar, tomato, avocado, sprouts, mixed greens, SWEET POTATO, and some sort of aioli on multigrain/seeded bread.
I love this sandwich.  It is nearly perfect.  I didn’t care too much for the bread - I’d like it on something a bit sturdier - but the cheddar/sweet potato/avocado combo plus the crunch of the sprouts was everything I want in a vegetarian sandwich.
My favorite vegetarian sandwich?  It’s still the pickled beet and goat cheese sammy at Lafayette Marketplace.  There is no other.

Welcome to my blog! I’m Michelle, a 27 year old vegetarian, runner, future doctor, and healthy-living enthusiast. My life revolves around food. Cooking food, eating food, discussing the politics of food. We’re surrounded by so many false advertisements and misconceptions about nutrition, its difficult to know where the truth lies. This is my attempt to make everything a bit clearer.

Follow me while I eat delicious food, cook healthy meals, run races, and strive to separate the food truths from lies, while attempting to survive the premed lifestyle in NYC.
