Day 1 at the mountain

Cold brewed iced coffee is where it’s at (like we said, see previous post)…And it’s how we started our first day in the wilderness.

Breakfast in the woods is easy, when you have the right equipment and pantry. As we drank our coffees, we prepared an easy, classic breakfast.

Nova and Tomato and Cream Cheese Open-Faced Sandwich

It was a sandwich kinda day, and for lunch we made…

The Ultimate Grilled Cheese

We layered 3 slices of aged cheddar cheese with sun dried tomato spread and arugula, butter on both sides of the whole wheat sandwich bread and grilled (on the actual grill) til gooey. Let me just say, YUM!

It should be noted here that it was for this meal that the men decided to eat their spicy Italian sausage. It was grilled and served on garlic bread.

The sandwich was also served with some salmon salad which I made at home and brought with us. (I roasted some defrosted Trader Joe’s salmon with olive oil, salt/pepper and crumbled it over salad greens. We dressed the salad a la minute with balsamic and olive oil). A cold beer pairs nicely.
