Chunky cucumber sandwich

I've been following this pregnancy diet my friend told me about (thanks Ellen!), called the Gentle Birth Method - it means going wheat, sugar, dairy (with the exception of goat products) and tomato free for your whole pregnancy, in order to avoid having a monster-sized baby that gets stuck on the way out.

So far the no wheat thing has worked well for me, it's eliminated the nausea and headaches and now I don't feel like napping all the time. YEAH!

The only challenge is finding stuff to chow down on which isn't so bad after you get your head around it. Eating out on the other hand is a bit trickier.

Here's an easy one to get started on, it's a great lunch or after work snack. So simple, yet so delicious.

What you need
Cucumber, thinly sliced
Tofutti soy cream cheese spread or pasturised goat's cheese*
Sourdough rye
Salt and pepper

(*TAKE HEED!! Not all goat's cheese is safe for pregnant consumption. Avoid ones that are unpasturised and that have a rind. I used one from the goat's cheese stall at Islington farmers market)
