    Fried Phony Baloney
This is not a superfood by any stretch of the imagination. However, it is leaps and bounds healthier than it’s mystery meat counterpart and a favorite in our house.
What you’ll need:
2 slices of 100% whole wheat bread
2 slices of american-style cheese, I use Rice Vegan slices
3 slices of Smart Deli bologna style slices
2 tsp. of Earth Balance (margarine)
First melt 1 tsp. of margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Place the bologna slices in the pan and cook for about a minute on each side (you want to brown them a little, not burn them) then remove and build the sandwich. It goes bread slice, cheese slice, bologna, cheese slice, bread slice. Then grill it like you would a grilled cheese with the rest of the margarine. 
This was a lazy dinner night so we ate our Phony Baloney sandwiches with tomato soup. View high resolution
