Avocados

avocadosI love avocados. LOVE might be a better way to express my deep infatuation with this delicious and nutrient rich food. Thank you, God, for creating this fruit!

A few of my favorite ways to enjoy avocado:
1. Spread slices on lightly toasted bread.
2. Garnish on every Mexican dish you can think of!
3. Add to mashed black beans and wrap up in lettuce leaves.

Any way you slice, mash or cube it, enjoy some avocado today!

Local bakery bread

Local bakeries produce some of the most interesting breads. The quality is higher than store bought and the flavor is usually more robust because the ingredients are fresher. This usually leads to eating less per serving because it is more satisfying!

I picked up this loaf of rye with roasted garlic from Volker’s Bakery Salt Lake City while shopping at the Winter Farmer’s Market in Salt Lake.

Great accompaniment to a minestrone soup, salad, or use for avocado toast!

Which bakery bread is your favorite?

I’ll see you at the table!

Restaurant Review: Subway – Utah

subwayI was running between appointments starving but needed something fast for  lunch. So, thought I’d give Subway another try. Pleasantly surprised to find they have a Veggie Patty option now. It was surprisingly tasty, moist and filling. Trying to avoid too many bread carbs, I went with the 6″ size. Loaded with as many veggies as you like, it’s a pretty good option. Mine had spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, black olives, banana peppers, and green bell peppers. I opted for sriracha for sauce instead of mayo or mustard. All-in-all, I thought the service at The District Subway was great – friendly, reasonably fast, and helpful.
