The Road to PBP (and other stuff)

On this page we will document Dave’s culinary inventions that he concocts and imbibes at rest stops during the rides. Ingredients and untensils are generally limited, making these the perfect snacks for the nutritionally-minded but resource-challenged cyclist.

• Tip #1: You can’t go wrong with peanut butter!

• Tip #2: For a quick, delicious Sodium/Potassium fix dip bananas in salt. (Thanks to Bruce Ingle for sharing this tip with Dave last time he was in desperate need of Sodium and Potassium.)

Recipes

Sandwich #1: “Sandwich de S’more”

• 1 slice whole wheat bread
• peanut butter
• 1 S’more Pop Tart
• banana (optional)

Spread 1/4″ peanut butter evenly over one side of the bread. Break poptart in half and embed Pop Tart halves on bread. Fold bread in half (peanut butter side in). Optional: add banana as a sidedish OR, for a ToGo snack, insert banana wth poptart. Voila!

Sandwich #2: “The Knee Buster”

• 2 slices whole wheat bread
• apple butter (may substitute jelly)
• peanut butter
• 2 slices swiss cheese
• sliced turkey (may substitute other sandwich meat)
• mayonnaise
• mustard (optional)
• cranberries

Evenly spread apple butter on one slice of bread. Evenly spread peanut butter over apple butter. Place two slices of swiss cheese on top of peanut butter. Add sliced turkey on top of cheese. Evenly spread mayonnaise on remaining slice of bread (and mustard if desired) and place on top of turkey (mayonnaise side down). For a seasonal twist cranberries may be added.
