On Friday afternoon I went to an orchard north of the city with bloggers from across Canada thanks to Subway Canada. We picked apples and sampled some of their new menu items coming in October. We were greeted with a cute welcome sign and chilled Izze fruit drinks as arrived. Lucky for us the morning rain cleared by the time we arrived and it was a lovely day. I hadn’t been to an orchard since I was a kid.
Our first part of the adventure was a hayride and if you were following my posts in real time, I was really into it. I even made a song about it.
After our tour of the orchard we sat down for lunch. It’s just started getting a wee bit cold and thankfully our hosts were prepared with blanks to keep warm.
The new fall menu at SUBWAY features a new Carved Turkey sandwich that will launch October 11th in Canada. Just after thanksgiving ?
Executive Chef, Chris Martone made us a delicious salad to start our seated meal with walnut encrusted goat cheese, it was so good. Both Will and I ordered a second plate!
The new sandwich.
My favourite part of the day was picking apples. I also went into a corn maze, got lost for a minute, and went on the swings.
Later that day I went to the cottage for the weekend with Sean and Emily. On Saturday I made 3 pies with the apples I picked. Two of the pies were a combo apple pie/apple crisp. I highly recommend this recipe I found on Pinterest. They were honestly SO GOOD. I’ll be bringing 2 to the office today so we don’t eat them all!

After a long relaxing summer I’m thankful for the change in seasons, great time to start something new. ditch old habits, and bring back layered outfits.
Here’s to a great week!
Hi Casie, can i ask… which apple orchard was it? i heard the apples are real small this year cause of the drought.
