Something strange is happening in my house lately. A good strange but strange nonetheless.

I have been giving my family healthier dinner options and here's the strange part....... they are liking it! Who knew?

I guess I haven't given them as much credit as I should have. Oh, by the way, by family I mean my husband and oldest daughter, not the little ones. I don't want to mislead you into thinking my 6 and 3 year old will eat anything other than the 3 meals they currently approve of. No, not them. That's for another day.

Strange Things Are Happening In My House...

Strange happening #1 - Predictably, while I was roasting my veggies for this sandwich, my husband walks in from work and says "smells good, what's for dinner?". I cringe because I know what's coming next when I tell him. I say "roast vegetable sandwiches". And yup, there it is....."Does that come with a side of meat?". He laughs and tells me he's kidding but I can tell he's only half kidding. I even go so far as to dig into the fridge and find some pre-cooked chicken and ask him if he wants me to add it into his sandwich and....drumroll please............ He says no, he'll have it how I'm making them, without chicken! Who is this man masquerading as my husband?! Strange!

Strange happening #2 - I text our oldest (yes, she's just upstairs but it's two flights of stairs and I was tired) and tell her that I'm making Roasted Vegetable Sandwiches for dinner but if she doesn't want that she can eat mac and cheese with the little ones. Now, mac and cheese is her thing (well, that and Oreos) so I assumed it was going to be mac and cheese. After all, she has repeatedly told me she does not like eggplant or hummus and I'm pretty sure red onions are on that list too. And she replies back. Are you ready for this? "I'll have the sandwich"! Strange!

I'm not sure who these people are, pretending to be my family but I'm liking it and speaking of liking, they really liked these sandwiches. A lot.

If you aren't convinced that these would be filling enough for dinner without chicken just trust me. They are much more filling than they sound. I served some waffle fries with mine but I think sweet potato fries would be much better!

Roasted Vegetable Sandwich Recipe Note:

Because I think cheese when I make a sandwich, I did add a slice of provolone cheese on each of these while toasting the bun BUT I'm leaving it out of the recipe because it didn't do anything for it and I kind of wish I hadn't added the calories. With all the other awesome flavors in this sandwich, the cheese gets overpowered and you don't even notice it. So if you have to have cheese go ahead but I'd suggest leaving it out.
