cilantro pesto pizza turned sandwich....

well this recipe as a pizza was divine, so i thought i could turn it into a sandwich alternative for lunches....the first sandwich was not a home run.

cilantro pesto pizza topped w/ portobellos & artichoke hearts - no onions!

we have been turned onto arnold's sandwich thins (only 1 WW point!), we love the whole wheat option. the multi grain is delish, with a hint of sweetness, but it has the seeds that get stuck in your teeth. so i started with a toast of the whole wheat sandwich thin, put on about 1T of the cilantro pesto, a sprinkling of feta and piled the bella mushroom/spinach saute mix & the artichoke hearts. I placed the top piece of thin back in the toaster w/ some feta to melt it a bit. i wrapped the sandwich in tin foil, to be used in the toaster at work and to hold it all together.

well sweetie, toasted the sandwich and thought it was very tasty, but couldn't really taste the cilantro...WHAT?? that's the flavoring reason to make this concoction!! take 2 tomorrow w/ a bit more cilantro pesto & some additional fresh cilantro. i will make one for myself too, so i can try to decipher the appropriate ratio of pesto, bella/spinach, artichoke hearts, feta....

the shrimp tacos will need to wait until another night this week due to unexpected later night appointments for me and sweetie.

what am i going to make for our derby party on sunday....maybe my version of pumpkin whoopie pies with cream cheese filling?

yum, yum
