Sandwich Skool

IMG_8514Blog

Beware of black ice!!

The higher temps here led to major melting and MAJOR ice!! Our walk to Great Harvest this morning was very difficult – I should have crawled! I did end up on the ground once

Surprised smile this !

IMG_8517Blog

Still a pretty sunrise ; )

Sandwich School reminds me of my dietetic internship last January + February at Salisbury school system when I worked in the cafeteria and food service dept for 5 weeks. It’s all prep, food safety, prediction, labeling, and more!

I’ve had enough prep – ready to put that stuff on BREAD and eat it!!

IMG_8523Blog

We’ve been making secret spreads

IMG_8522Blog

IMG_8525Blog

Have you ever tried the GH Sweet n Spicy Pecans!? DELISH! [Sorry, it’s a secret recipe]

IMG_8526Blog

Slicing meat and cheese

IMG_8521Blog

In Sandwich School they teach us to make basic sandwiches that have been successful, but Matt and I have big dreams for the creativity of our menu. Several KERF recipes will make an appearance! Including a vision for a banana, PB, granola, honey sandwich! We hope to focus on creative vegetarian options and use local, humanely raised meats [which is going to be a hurdle we are challenging ourselves to jump!]

We nibbled on spicy pecans and some of the snacks they had for us…

IMG_8518Blog

including BISCOFF!! [I think they are here because I was raving about them last week Winking smile ]

IMG_8519Blog

For lunch today they had fried chicken, french fries and a veggie tray. I took some fruit from the snack table and paired it with a slice of bread I was permitted to swipe from the sandwich school supplies and topped with the PB Matt and I have been carrying around in our bookbag.

IMG_8529Blog

And a grapefruit and a piece of Dillon Cookie [the signature GH whole wheat cookie!]

    Sandwich school looks so fun!
    Two summers ago, my Mom, Sister and I went to Cape Cod and my Mom kept telling us that we were going to the Sundae School. My sister and I were beyond excited, thinking that it was literally a school teaching you how to make ice cream sundaes. Well, we got there and it turns out that it was just an ice cream shop located in an old Sunday School. It was delicious, but we were very disappointed. My Mom’s response: “I thought you knew! I was wondering why you guys were so excited…”
    Cruel.

    Loving these posts!! Completely random, but of course this made me think of you. I tried the McDonald’s oatmeal this morning and it was really good!! Way better than Starbucks, which I think is pretty decent. It was the perfect amounts of sweet and creamy with raisins, apple chunks and dried cranberries. I was afraid to check the nutritional info afterwards, assuming it was loaded with sugar, but I was pleasantly surprised!

    Do Great Harvest sandwiches automatically come with pickle spears? I hate to waste food, but don’t like pickles, so it bothers me to find an unexpected pickle leaking juice on my sandwich. If I forget to ask if a pickle is included, it is nice if they are wrapped (as in your photo). Anyway, I’m enjoying reading about your adventures in Montana!

    I used to live in Montreal and there is a restaurant (Santropol) there that focuses on creative sandwich flavours – thought you might find it fun to look at their menu. They have lots of interesting flavour combos!
