In an Upstate New York State of Mind

There are some things that I miss particularly about my home state:

-A rainbow of colors in the fall

-Water, ie: lakes, rivers, streams

-Cloudy days where the light is bright and cozy

-Home style Italian food… chicken riggies and Utica greens

and

-Bagel Grove bagels

In a vain attempt to recreate my favorite sandwich from Bagel Grove, I set about making a veggie delight.

First, I toasted a poppy seed bagel and covered it in cream cheese. Adding on the first layer of veggies: cucumber.

Next, I added on thick, juicy slices of tomato.

Lastly, I covered the sandwich in alfalfa sprouts for a little extra crunch.

Certainly delicious, but could never compare with the real deal!
