I had just checked into the Marriott nearby and was craving something light and healthy...but then my carb-craving kicked in and I started searching for a bakery nearby.
Thankfully, Bertha's had healthy options as well as decadent desserts. I got the half sandwich/half salad lunch deal - salami, goat cheese, pesto sandwich on a baguette and mixed greens. The combo came with a small chocolate chip cookie and a bag of chips. I decided to try the mini red velvet cupcakes to satisfy my sweet tooth.
The lunch was huge in portion and the cookie made me wish I had gotten a giant one instead. The cupcake...well, it was ok. Maybe b/c it was a mini, the cake was a bit dry and the cream cheese frosting wasn't thick enough for my taste. The sandwich was probably the best I've had in awhile. I don't usually order salami since it's so fatty and high in sodium but it was very yummy and the saltiness was nice balanced by the cheese and pesto. I'm going to try to make my own when I go home...maybe a healthier version...nah.
