I’m joining in the Real Food Wednesday blog carnival for the first time here, so, hello!  You can see all the great posts on real food here.

The 3 year old decided the other day that he wanted to make his own sandwich up.  It started with every mother’s dream request: “Mommy, can I have spinach on my sandwich?”  And I was all, “YES YOU MAY!”

He was eating turkey, and then he wanted cheese, too, and, as the pièce de resistance, he added… apple.  And you know what?  It was pretty darn good.  Good enough for us to add this sandwich to our repetoire (I guess I’m loving the French expressions today).

I tried to come up with a name via acronym for all the elements of the sandwich.  It’s kind of amazing how many words you can make out of the letters T-C-A-S.  CATS?  Too grounded in reality.  ACTS?  Too verby.  SCAT?  I do NOT want to eat a scat sandwich.  Although the boys would think this was hilarious, no doubt.  So, SACT it is, for now.

The SACT Sandwich

• whole wheat bread
• sliced deli turkey (we used honey roasted)
• cheese (we used Muenster)
• thinly sliced apple (we used Gala)
• baby spinach leaves

Pile it all on the bread and you are good to go.  I recommend putting the spinach somewhere in the middle, as it tends to slide off if it’s right next to the bread.

he was very proud of himself

very proud, indeed.
