Today I was pressed for time, so I had the dreaded hummus sandwich- twice! It's so easy to make hummus sandwiches. If I could just come up with a replacement for the hummus- something that would fill me the way hummus does- I would make that instead when I'm in a hurry or need something quick and easy for the university. Of course I'm now suffering from gastric distress from the double dose of hummus.
Tomorrow some people are bringing party food to one of our classes. This is a first for me- so far in class I've passed up candy dishes and offers of gum. I've not allowed myself to be tempted by the Pepsi EVERYONE seems to be drinking around me these days. But this will be the first party. Luckily, just a couple of days ago I revealed my raw food "diet" to my classmates because I am using it as the topic for a paper I'll be writing. Would you believe the person bringing the junk food actually asked me what she could bring for me? I thought that was so nice! I told her she could bring me a big, juicy peach!! Who'd a thunk I'd be looking forward to eating a peach at a party where everyone else will be eating chocolate rice krispy treats and other dishes of decadence? I've come a looooooong way!

What's so bad about the hummus?
You could make your own raw hummus if you sprouted some chickpeas (that's easy). Hummus is a pretty easy thing to make.
What about baba ganouj? I love that eggplant dip. Goes well with taboule.
Another suggestion - a big raw portobella mushroom. Can be a burger. Can be spread with raw spinach pureed with some avocado and some nutmeg, and topped with a big tomato slice. Can be marinated, or grilled for that matter.
I take it you are trying to avoid eating a lot of avocado at once. Otherwise I'd say that an avocado sandwich is scrumptious, too. I like it with toasted bread, a thin layer of raw red onion, and topped with fresh avocado and then a sprinkle of real salt, sea salt, etc. SUPER.

| Hummus is awesome- it is easily my favorite food. But I think it's the fiber content that makes me ill every time. When I don't eat it but eat my other foods, I don't have gastric problems. :-( Thanks for you suggestions- I always use avocados but I hadn't thought of having the avocado itself as the main ingredient of a sandwich!
