Trying to do the more healthy thing nowadays... With my century ride just over 2 weeks away, I've put it in my mind that I need to begin to eat healthier sandwiches. With that in mind, this week I chose to ditch any unhealthy meats (not like I was going too crazy with heavy stuff in recent weeks) and go lean. I went with a straight up turkey sandwich, but with a little flair.
I found the
Wegman's Jalapeno Deli Cheese to be a huge success with last week's sandwich, and so I brought it back this week for a second interview... I tossed some sprouts on top of those classic sandwich staples to create a little bit more of a unique sandwich. What separated this creation from other run-of-the-mill turkey sandwiches was I slathered guacamole on both slices of toasted wheat bread, and I ended up with a fairly healthy sandwich which was wildly filling as well.
I've found that since I began making serious sandwiches about 2 months ago that I tend to lean heavily towards some more than others. This is obviously to be expected. What wasn't expected, at least to me, is how heavily I would lean towards sandwiches that were more towards the healthy end. I'm very surprised that instead of the
chicken salad sandwich and
hawaiian ham sandwich, I've found myself much more pleased with the
veggie sub and toasted turkey/sprout/guac club sandwich on wheat. It's definitely been a pleasant surprise -- Maybe my tastes are maturing as I reach the second quarter of my life. Either way, if I was to make a list of the best sandwiches I've made since beginning this exercise, this week's sandwich would fall no further than #2 in the standings. A delicious, (mostly) nutritious, and easy-to-make sandwich, I will give this a good 9.0/10.0.
