Pear-Walnut Sandwiches

"On Tuesday he ate through two pears, but he was still hungry."
This is the one day I was not worried about at all. I have a million pear recipes but in the spirit of the blog we decided to try something new. This is one of those "what's not to love" meals. Cinnamon raisin bread, good. Pears, good. Cream cheese and walnuts, good and good. But my favorite part was the sprouts. Weird, I know, but I just wanted more. Luckily the sprouts are the least caloric thing about this sandwich so if you like them like me go ahead and pack 'em on there. Husband loved how quick and easy this was and we will definitely make it again. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
