The Sandwich Spread That Make Mayo Cry!!

THIS SANDWICH SPREAD MAKE’S MAYO CRY!!

(But you and any kind of sandwich you make will love it!!)

 

2 Medium Onions, roughly chopped

2 large jalapenos, diced (optional)

3 t. garlic salt

1 ½ cup extra virgin olive oil

2 T. dried oregano

2T. dried basil

1T. coriander seed, toasted & crushed (optional)   

 

Combine chopped onion, diced jalapenos, garlic salt, oregano, and basil and coriander seed in a large bowl.  Pour olive oil over all ingredients and fold together with a spatula, scrapping all ingredients from the bottom till completely blended. Put all mixture into a glass or plastic container with a tight seal refrigerator for at least 8 hours.   This spread is amazing on all types for sandwiches that you would have added mayo, and a much safer alternative when taking food on picnics. 

 

Some suggestions: 1 large, whole wheat French bread loaf, add salami, capicola, pancetta, (also good with sliced chicken or turkey,) provolone cheese, & arugula. Cut into sandwich size slices and wrap in Ziploc bags. Bring enough sandwich spread for each slice in a tight Tupperware container. When serving sandwiches spoon spread on bread and enjoy.

Sorry, not sorry!

There is a tiny part of us who feel the need to apologize for flooding your Facebook news feed this morning, and yet there is a huge part of us that are not sorry for doing it.

Yesterday, SB 277 went before the California Health Committee. With 400 people standing and opposing the Bill, and only 50+ who were for it, the voice of the people obviously didn't matter. The vote still went on the side of pushing SB 277 forward to be heard at the Education Committee next week.

Why are we so against SB 277? We believe the statement, "If there is a risk, there should be a choice!"

We know you are probably hitting sensory overload on this issue, but we ask that if you are passionate about keeping your right to choose medical decisions for your child, you contact those on the California Educational Committee and let them know where you stand.

Here is a link to a summary of the public hearing from the Sacramento Bee.
