Loaded Roasted Pepper Hummus Sandwich

It is hard for me to convey just how spectacular the combination of these flavors are.  The only thing I have been able to come up with is, thats so good, you will want to eat it even when you are pregnant and so sick the though of a sip of water makes you want to hurl.

Because really, that is what I associate with this sandwich.  Three times over (baby 1,2, and 3), I was sick the entire 9 months of my pregnancy. As in, I threw up in the delivery room bathroom a few hours before my daughter was born because even then, I was still puking.

In an effort to make me ANYTHING that I could keep down, my husband handed me this sandwich when I was still in the early stages of pregnancy #1.  Needless to say I was skeptical.  I will spare you the details of what happened when I was finished with it, but I will never forget how amazing it tasted.  Fresh, creamy, tangy, crunchy-it was outstanding.  Once I was my non-pregnant self again, I made sure to make the sandwich the exact same way to try and replicate that joy.  It was even better than I imagined!  And when I was prego again, it was often the only thing that sounded good, regardless of wether I could keep it down or  not.  I mean, just LOOK at that sandwich!  Does it not make your mouth water??
Now, I make them for my kids.  I have tried changing a few things-adding cucumber, skipping the step to toast the bread, or even using plain hummus-and all changes were good.  But not this good.  Something about these particular ingredients just go so great together.  The hubby knew what he was doing when he built this one!  I feel like I should mention that ripe tomatoes are key.  Don’t bother making this without them.  Loaded up with fresh spinach and avocado, it is chock full of good for you foods!  Which we all need, wether you are expecting a baby or not.
