Made it with home made pesto, and it was sooo delicious 🤤🤤 I forgot to put the meal prepped tofu in the sandwich but it was good without it anyways😅

Aww we're so thrilled to hear this, Kata! Homemade pesto in sandwiches is a lovely way to elevate them 🙌

This is a very nice sandwich, too much pesto for me, but I guess this is the secret of the taste and flavour. I don't like tofu, but in this sandwich is very good. Thank you for this amazing mouth watering experience ! 🤤

Good flavor but everything in the sandwich was so slippery it all fell apart after that first bite. I’ll have to try wrapping it next time.

Best sandwich ever. And I don't say that lightly.

My partner called it the best sandwich he’s ever had. Congrats, you’ve done it again!

Day 2 of meal prepping was equally delicious with day 1! To be fair, I am positively predisposed to anything containing pesto, love the stuff. But although I had overcooked the tofu, there was so much flavour that it wasn't an issue at all. Yay 🙂

Woop woop! So happy to hear that you're enjoying day two, Athina 🙌

Perfect combination! Like all of your recipes, this was VERY good!
The hummus, pesto and bread were all homemade and worth the effort.
This week, I am trying the meal prep you posted on YouTube and I’m very excited! This was the first recipe…and so far, a real success! As soon as I watched the video with my partner, we were both on board to try. Thank you Sadia for what you do! Your work is truly an inspiration to cook wonderful meals. 🌱👌🥰

Well. This was a delicious surprise! I’m trying to eat through the cupboard supplies we had, and found a sad looking jar of peppers. This was not what I was expecting. It’s lovely!!

Yayy so happy to hear that the sandwich recipe with roasted bell peppers was enjoyed, Hels! ✨
