VEGEMITE SANDWICH TRADIONAL (VEGGIE SANGER)
I can't believe a traditional "Veggie Sanger" has not been posted! "No Worries Mate"................ I am here to fix that! Vegemite sandwiches are terrific for school lunches, and used to be an Aussie Tradition, not so long ago but not so sure about now. Vegemite is high in Vitamin B .....but it is quite salty so it probably not considered a health food as such because of the saltiness. But they do not go soggy like a lot of sandwich's do at school! A Vegemite sandwich is a quick and easy snack for both kids and adults. All you will need is bread and butter or margarine .......and of course that jar of black gold "Vegemite! " Of course you can add things if you prefer, like cheese or avocado! Even use crumpets instead of bread, for an amazing snack. Come be an "Happy Little Vegemite!"

QUICK VEGAN VEGGIE SANDWICH
This is one of those great, fridge-cleaning recipes...use what you have! My version calls for peppers, onions, tomatoes, hummus, and soy mayo on bread, but it is very versatile and can be easily personalized to your taste. You can easily vary the veggies, the kind of bread, or add spices and still be successful!
