Taste Of The Town Subway W

By Courtney Smith

hile December is the month of holiday spirit and thickening waistlines, many of us will be thinking ahead to when the celebrations are past and it’s time to make our New Year’s resolutions.

Subway is the restaurant known for their slogan “Eat Fresh,” and what better way to end one year and ring in another than with their delicious sandwich and salad options?

Subway’s reasonably priced sandwiches are made with freshly baked bread and filled with loads of fresh ingredients. With dozens of customizable options, the step-by-step process is completed directly in front of each customer to ensure that their exact specifications are met. The expansive menu also offers wraps, salads, and even breakfast selections. Subway also provides catering for a wide variety of events, with sandwich platters, drinks, sides, and delicious cookies.

Starting in the 1990’s, new Subway locations started popping up all over the Wilsonville area. As Subway has evolved through the years, they have done an excellent job keeping their customers in mind, and the franchise method allows each store to continue developing with the local community. The latest project that Subway is working toward is making all of their stores eco-friendly and green. Getting all 40,000 of their stores to consistent with the 8 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE - DECEMBER 2019

new standards is an ambitious goal that will take some time, but that isn’t going to stop Subway.

If you want to end your year on a great note, here are the top ten healthiest subway sandwiches you should eat. (*calorie contents are not exact and vary depending on size and toppings)

1. Veggie Delight

The Veggie Delight is the healthiest Subway sandwich of them all. With no meat, you have no choice but to load it up with a ton of veggies.

At only 230 calories (without cheese) for a 6-inch, this sandwich scores big points on the healthy scale.

2. Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki

Subway features teriyaki-glazed chicken in their fat-free sweet onion sauce. Altogether it’s 269 calories with some veggies.

3. Oven Roasted Chicken

At only 320 calories on their 9 grain wheat bread or the honey and oat, you’ll be extremely satisfied.

4. Rotisserie Style Chicken

With fresh chicken and crispy veggies on wheat bread, it’s just 350 calories and packs in 29 grams of protein.

5. Black Forest Ham

It’s fresh, full of flavor, and has 290 calories. I recommend adding a little honey mustard, which is low in calories and will give your salty sub a sweet twist.

6. Subway Club

For all those meat lovers out there, the Subway Club is a real treat. It is a combination of tender turkey breast, roast beef and black forest ham in one delectable sandwich for you to feast on. It’s also just 310 calories.

7. Roast Beef

You can get buff with a Roast Beef sandwich by making it your go-to Subway order on the day you work out. This healthy six-inch sandwich has 290 calories and 6 grams of fat.

8. Carved Turkey*

This sandwich is a seasonal offering and is not available year round. If you want to go even healthier, ditch the bread and have the salad version instead . You automatically reduce your carb intake by 40 grams.

9. Egg and cheese

What better way to start your morning than with a multigrain flatbread with eggwhites, cheese, spinach, and tomatoes?

This 380-calorie sub will keep you going for the rest of your busy day.

10. Turkey Breast

The Turkey Breast sandwich is part of the Fresh Fit menu.

With 280 calories and 18 grams of protein, this is a great choice if you’re looking for a healthy lunch.

The next time you’re at Subway and you can, order any of these great sandwiches for a flavorful, filling meal. Still can’t decide on what to eat? Don’t worry, the Subway Sandwich Artists will help you customize a delicious well-seasoned sandwich, wrap, or salad that makes your taste buds dance.

You can visit them in person at their locations in Wilsonville or order online at subway.com, postmates.com or doordash.com

LIKE NO PLACE ON EARTH!

BY MELINDA GALLAGHER

music coming from an orchestra playing nearby. That’s right. Three to four small orchestras play in the piazza at different locations, from morning into the night. This is Venice.

T

One day we decided to explore some of the historical buildings of Venice and toured St. Mark’s Basilica with a rich history of not only worship, but originally built to house sacred relics—that were once stolen! It is a fascinating story and you can see it told in a beautiful mosaic on a wall nearby the entrance. We spent a lot of time gazing at the all the mosaics throughout the basilica…over 85,000 square feet covering walls, some vaults and even the cupolas.

We arrived by train from Rome and connected to a vaporetto (water bus) to take us to the stop nearest our hotel. Then, with directions in hand we walked the rest of the way to our hotel. You see, there are no cars on the island. What? No motorcycles, no scooters, not even pedal bicycles. None. No other transportation -- just boats and feet! Well, after a couple wrong turns (we expected to get lost just a little) we arrived at our hotel right off Campo San Stefano, a small piazza with restaurants, a small market, and a church. After checking in, the hotel receptionist handed us a better, more detailed paper map of Venice (no mobile GPS devices at that time) and off we went! Right turn, left turn, over multiple small canals, more turns and then…Piazza San Marco.

Right next door is Doge’s Palace, initially built between the 10th and 11th century, with multiple expansions over the centuries. For hundreds of years, the chief magistrates (doges) ruled Venice from this palace. In the 17th century a prison was added across the nearby canal. After prisoners were tried in court and if convicted, they would have to pass over the famous Bridge of Sighs…where the convicts would take one last look at beautiful Venice and… sigh, realizing they may never see Venice again. What a sight to see!

We ended our first trip to Venice with a quiet dinner in a restaurant near our hotel. We enjoyed the local wine, pizza with fresh buffalo mozzarella, and the creamiest gelato ever - Wow!

he first time I visited Venice, Italy, it was a jaw-dropping, “WOW” kind of experience. I was fascinated by the island, like so many thousands of visitors before me.

Venice was born a lagoon over 1500 years ago, surrounded by water with 150 canals that weave in and about the entire island.

Yes, the entire island!

Can you imagine how long people have been gathering in this square? Today Piazza San Marco is a great spot for tourists where you can dine, shop and people watch while swaying to beautiful

Venice…it really is like no other place on earth. I cannot wait to go back.

MEET THE ARTIST

ART & CULTURE

CARLY CARPENTER C

BY COURTNEY SMITH

arly Carpenter is not just a photographer.

She is an artist with a great eye and huge imagination for design, who gives 110% in order to provide beautiful portraits that bring more joy than could be imagined.

Carly was raised here in Wilsonville, and is now very happy to be raising her three children here as well. She has been photographing families and children in the area since 2011, and now offers her services for weddings, professional headshots, senior portraits, community events, and more.

Carly is passionate about her work and her art, and she loves working with clients to make the process fun from start to finish, beginning with an introductory meeting with each client to plan for their session. Carly is brimming with helpful tips on everything, like figuring out what to wear or what pose is most flattering, so that you can be at ease and have wonderful time in front of the camera.

Carly focuses on connecting to each of her clients on a personal level, though her ability to connect with squirmy little ones is the greatest gift. An active mother of 3 kids, ranging in age from 4 to 13, she is a pro when it comes to taming the chaos and high energy that is unavoidable when photographing

children. She loves being able to tell another mom, “I’ve got this, don’t worry,” and she knows she’s achieved success when she runs into a client later and they say their child keeps asking when their next photo shoot is.

Carly works with families of all sizes, ages, and personalities, capturing their precious moments in time and giving them something that will last for decades. She holds herself to the highest of standards and makes sure that she offers only top-quality images. Carly often assists her clients with turning those images into works of art by partnering with the best printing labs in the country, or even helping to design a customized print for your wall.

Whatever the desired result, Carly goes above and beyond to ensure that each project is completed to satisfaction.

Carly calls Oregon home, but she will shoot anywhere and travel wherever you want to create those lasting memories. A creative and dedicated artist, Carly will make your vision her own and work closely with you to help make your cherished memories last a lifetime.

To contact Carly Carpenter you can call her at (702) 630- 0755, e-mail her at carly@carlycarpenterphotography. com, or visit her website at carlycarpenterphotography.com

Holiday Party and Decoration Safety Tips for Your Business

BUSINESS INSURANCE

Work weather-wise. If placing lights outside, be sure to use exterior grade with outdoor lights, surge protectors and extension cord connectors. You’ll also want to have a weather-protected outlet nearby.

Check for damage. Inspect your holiday lights for frayed wires, bare spots, gaps in insulation, broken or cracked sockets, and excessive kinking or wear. Discard strands that are damaged.

PREVENT CHRISTMAS TREE FIRES

Assign tree captains. If you plan to use a live tree, it’s time to delegate. Assign a few people to be in charge of dropping by the tree daily to make sure all is well.

They should think about adding water if needed and checking the electrical connections to be sure everything’s running smoothly.

T

he holidays are a great time to decorate your business, have a party and celebrate with co-workers. But amidst all the fun, be sure that safety remains a priority at your place of business. Whether you’re planning on decorating and making the mood more festive or going all-out and planning a holiday party, stay focused on the wellbeing of your guests and employees. Here are some tips to help keep your holidays happy and your employees protected.

DAZZLE THEM WITH HOLIDAY LIGHTS

Twinkly seasonal lights give your building a warm holiday feel and they can raise employee spirits. With a little planning and preparation, your light decorations will be beautiful, lasting and safe.

Spread the joy wisely. Install your decorative lights near outlets. Extension cords can be a problem. They can turn into tripping hazards if they cross areas where staff or guests will be walking. Try taping cords down that cross walkways using duct tape to keep them flat to the floor.

Protect the power. Plug your lights into surge-protected outlet strips. This simple step can really help to protect your business from fire. And at the end of each workday, be sure all power strips are unplugged from their outlets to be sure everything will be safe overnight.

Connect carefully. Never link more than three strands of lights, unless the directions say it’s safe to do so. Too many Christmas lights strung in a row can get warm. Keep the heat down by limiting the number of strands.

Select a young tree. When buying a live tree, ask the seller when the tree was cut down. Stay away from trees that are more than a month old or trees whose needles pull off easily.

Position strategically. Place trees away from fireplaces, hot air vents or other sources of heat. This will help keep the tree from getting too dry too quickly.

Apply fluids liberally. As trees get older, they lose their moisture and become brittle. It’s best not to keep your tree for more than two weeks, and have workers make sure there is always water in the stand. A thirsty tree is a fire hazard.

BEWARE OF FOOD-BORNE ILLNESSES

Holiday foods make every party better! Make sure safe foodhandling practices are a serious focus when making food for your holiday event.

Prepare with care. Avoid cross-contamination by keeping raw meat, poultry, seafood and eggs (including their juices) away from areas used to prepare ready-to-eat foods.

Watch the temp. Always cook foods to the proper temperature, and refrigerate items promptly. Serve hot food in food warmers, slow cookers or warming trays. Cold food should be served by nestling serving dishes or bowls in ice, or use small serving trays and swap them out frequently.

Store smartly. Don’t leave perishable foods out for more than two hours. Especially meats and items cooked with eggs.

Bacteria can accumulate quickly on these dishes, so it’s best to swap them out sooner rather than later.

After all that hard work, check in with your Kyle and his team and be sure your coverage fits your holiday business plans. Now that you’ve got the tools to celebrate the holidays safely, get out there and enjoy them!

DECEMBER 2019 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE • 27

T

here are a lot of reasons to celebrate in December with many different holidays, but the big three are Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa. In the United States, there is a lot of overlap between these holidays; families in which one parent is Jewish and one is Christian may celebrate both Hanukkah and Christmas, and African American families may celebrate both Kwanzaa and Christmas, or you may come across someone who simply loves holidays and celebrates them all.

Christmas is celebrated each year on December 25 with gift-giving, songs, and a Christmas tree, and often includes pre-holiday festivities and traditions such as tree decorating, hanging of stockings, Secret Santa, and cookie baking. While originally a Christian holiday to meant honor the birth of Jesus, Christmas is now celebrated by over 90% of Americans, according to a recent survey. This includes over 80% of those in the United States who don’t identify as Christian. It is now a holiday for the masses and has become quite the commercial event, with Christmas-specific sales beginning as early as the day after Halloween. A variety of traditions from non-religious celebrations of the winter solstice have also become ingratiated into common Christmastime festivities. However, Christmas wasn’t always solely focused on pine trees, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, or a large bearded man in a red suit, and it still isn’t completely. Each year 62% of Americans attend church service on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Hanukkah is an eight-day festival of lights, that also has a great tradition of eating fried foods like jelly doughnuts and latkes (potato pancakes)! Every year the dates change since the Hebrew calendar and the Gregorian 28 • WILSONVILLE LIVING MAGAZINE - DECEMBER 2019

calendar do not exactly align. This year, Hanukkah begins on December 22 and goes until December 30th. The history of Hanukkah began thousands of years ago, during a battle between Jewish and Syrian forces. A synagogue was raided and the supply of oil was almost completed destroyed, leaving enough oil for only one day. Miraculously, that oil lasted for eight days, beginning the celebration of the festival of lights. Each day of Hanukkah, one additional candle is lit. Families often gather for delicious meal and play a game with a dreidel (a spinning toy that has a Hebrew character written on each side) and chocolate coins, kind of like poker. While Hanukkah was not originally a holiday that required gift giving, other holidays like Christmas have heavily influenced the holiday, and led to an increase of decorations and presents in the celebration process.

Kwanzaa (translated to “fruits first” from Swahili) is a week-long annual celebration held in the United States and other nations to honor African-American heritage, and it is celebrated each year from December 26th to January 1st. Unlike Christmas and Hanukkah, Kwanzaa is not a religious holiday, but a cultural one. Established officially in the U.S. in 1966, Kwanzaa was initially associated with the Black Power movement. The holiday encourages the celebration of African heritage, gatherings between family and friends, and the reflection on seven African values (called the Seven Principles, or the Nguza Saba). These Seven Principles are unity, self-determination, collective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith and are represented by seven candles in a kinara. Each of the seven days of Kwanzaa is dedicated to one of the principles, and each day of Kwanzaa, one of the candles is lit. On the final day of Kwanzaa, celebrators are encouraged to reflect on who they are, who they want to be, and what it means to be of African descent.

Whatever holiday you choose to celebrate, or if you don’t celebrate anything, enjoy the people that surround you and make you happy, reflect on what is good in your life, and have a happy new year!
