Olympic Bobsleigh Sandwich

Who doesn’t love the Winter Olympics?   All of the great sports that we’ll be watching in Sochi have inspired us to make a healthy sandwich that will offer nutrition and energy for the aspiring athletes at your house.  Our Olympic Bobsleigh Sandwich recipe is fun to make AND to eat. The baguette is the perfect edible vehicle to hold the delicious roasted veggies that are stuffed inside.  The eggplant is an excellent source of vitamins C and K, zucchini offers vitamin A, portabella offers fiber, and the white beans bring home the GOLD by offering protein.  We hope your Winter Olympic Games are Twice as Good!
