Healthy Fast Snack Caprese Sandwich
This fast and easy Caprese Sandwich is the perfect way to satisfy your cravings while keeping yourself eating healthier. A classic usually seen presented as a salad, as a child I was known as ‘bread gut’ for how much I loved to eat bread at dinner or lunch.
Being a busy mom it’s hard to find the time to whip up elegant dishes all the time. When hunger hits, I need to be able to get on it quickly. As I always tend to the first instead of me, typical mom thing.
It also helps that I’m a big cheese fan. I could sit down and devour an entire block of mozzarella, but that’s not good at all. This is a great way to cut back on the cheese and to change things up from a regular caprese salad.
