Nighttime Nutrients

Man oh man, I must have eaten a LOT of bread because I was not hungry all afternoon! Not even the slightest!!

Good thing because were busy serving slices of bread to a high school when the bell rang –

They were very appreciative for a hot slice after a hard day in class. This was all that was left from the storm of kids:

Here is most of our group!

When you live and breathe bread, it starts to show up everywhere… top of the walls even!

IMG_8136Blog

All of this bread was made today for a big sale out of the HQ office tomorrow. The Dillon Great Harvest is only open on special days – like when a training group wraps up and needs practice running a store – so there’s a line down the street of locals who want bread! Tomorrow’s all of the proceeds from the bread are going to be donated to the local high school’s symphonic band.

IMG_8137Blog

Matt and I actually went to the YMCA here in Dillon after work. The office gave us a handful of free passes. The Y is small, but nice and the staff was very nice to allow us to use the facility. I did a combo of the elliptical and a round of weight lifting that wore me out. Then we walked back to our motel – about a mile. The 40* temps are so pleasant!!!

Hotel Dinner #2

Smoked Salmon + Goat Cheese Salads

IMG_8143Blog

The ingredients. All easily cut or opened with a butter knife.

IMG_8139Blog

The salad was pretty good given the circumstances! I blame the goat cheese ; )

Baby spinach from a box dressed only in salt and pepper plus half a piece of smoked salmon, trail mix, chopped green pepper and carrot and half an orange.

IMG_8141Blog

I don’t think I’d recommend this smoked salmon. I thought it would be a fun change from the usual pink kind I love, but this was pretty tough and not my favorite.

IMG_8142Blog

The goat cheese, however, was amazing!

IMG_8145Blog

Matt’s liquid, stolen by me

IMG_8144Blog

IMG_8140Blog

We’ve got to get showered and packed – tomorrow’s going to be a busy one. I’m not sure what time I’ll be able to post, but I hope to at least pop in for a hello by lunchtime! We’re checking out of the hotel and having breakfast when we get there at 7AM. Tomorrow night Matt and I are heading up to Twin Bridges and then on to Bozeman on Saturday for a little outdoor activity!

Anndddd…tomorrow is MATT’S 28th BIRTHDAY!

    I don’t know if you’ve done one before…but I would love to see you write about the nutrition side of the GH bread. I’ve become absolutely fascinated with the bread following you on your journey and I LOVE bread but am so scared of it b/c like many Americans, I’ve come to fear carbs. The only carbs allowed in my house are multi-grain/whole wheat but after looking at the GH menu in my local town my mouth started salivating over the sourdough they make once a week. Is the GH sourdough “better” or “different” from say, the sourdough you’d get in a chain supermarket bakery?

    Anyways, I’d love to know more on the nutrition side of things so that maybe I could re-introduce various types of bread back into my diet and not be so fearful 🙂

    Thanks!

      Hey Tracy,
      I can’t speak for ALL GH locations since they are all locally owned, but most make plenty of 100% whole wheat breads and sweats with a few white flour products thrown in for fun. The GH design is that the flour is freshly ground on a stone mill each day and the bread goes from wheatberries to flour to bread all using real food. Honey Whole Wheat is the most famous bread and it has 5 ingredients: wheat, honey, water, salt, yeast. With the wheat being so fresh along with a hearty dose of protein and fiber and tons of vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, it is probably the most nutritious loaf of bread in your city! Sourdough is traditionally made from refined flours, so I’d ask your local owners more about their breads and ingredients to get the scoop. Do not be afraid of bread or carbs – you need carbs to live and be energized. And this bread is one of the best ways you can get them.
