Happy Mother-in-Law’s day to Karen!! Matt and I took our morning run over to her place to deliver a card and half a loaf of bread.
[Yes, we ran 2 miles with those items in our hands!]
Karen was resting, so we had to leave them on our patio. But Happy M Day to you Karen!
Once we were back home and showered, I assembled this AMAZING lunch!!!!!!
This was maybe the best Cheese + Jam sandwich I’ve ever had!!!
Sharp white cheddar + strawberry jam on Great Harvest Warrenton’s Apple Raspberry High Five bread. The fruit IN the bread was awesome, as was the thick slab of cheese and sweetness. YUmmmmmm!
On the side I made a simple salad dressed in honey and EVOO
And had a bowl of greek yogurt + mango + Lynda’s granola
Fabulous and filling – everything I could ask for in a lunch! I asked for greatness; it delivered.
We’re now biking over to the bakery to do some work and then home tonight to roast a chicken!

Happy Mother’s day to Karen!
I love doing running errands! Happy Mother’s Day!
ahhh that lunch looks so delicious! Perfect balance: sandwich, salad, and a yogurt bowl. perfection. yum. (:
I might have to pick up some of that bread, it looks so soft! Happy mother’s day!
That bread looks amazing! I need to find a Great Harvest stat!
That’s so cute you ran with the bread! Is Karen on the up now? As in, are things looking ok? I really hope she’s doing well.
She’s doing well. ALMOST done!
Great lunch! I’m sure she’ll appreciate you leaving the card and bread
Happy Mothers Day Karen! Hope you are feeling better
mango blue bowl with spoon sticking out to the left…gorgeous shot!! makes me want to dive in. sunlight, angles, composition…lovely Kath!
Apple Raspberry High Five bread…oh.wow. Delish!
Running 2 miles with bread in your hands…hope you didnt squeeze the charmin. Remember those commercials from the 80s? haha!
Love your lunch- how creative of you. Tell Karen happy mother’s day for me!
Is the yogurt spoon from crate&barrel?
I want a spoon like that,it’s adorable!!!
Yup!
Your lunch looks fabulous — that bread sounds incredible!
I’ve totally ‘run’ errands before carrying weird things
It’s so efficient!
mango is my FAVORITE!
Oooh that lunch DOES look yummy…after eating all weekend, I am craving veggies in a serious way!
That sandwich does look amazing!! I love sharp cheese with jelly. Just by itself.
I’m one of those people who is wary of mixing savory and sweet. Like, meat with fruity sauces freaks me out. But then I will try a salad that has, like, cranberries in it, and I will love it.
So your cheese + jam sandwiches are growing on me. The idea at least. Maybe next time I slice up some super-duper extra sharp cheddar (my favorite), I’ll try dipping a hunk in some jam. I really hope I like it.
OK, I have GOT to try a cheese + jam sandwich. But not until I get some GH bread.
Yum I just picked up some organic sharp cheddar cheese today and put it on some GH nine grain bread. It was so good.
When I first saw that sandwich I thought “wrong”! But the more I think about it, the more likely I am to try it; think you’ve got something there!
That does look like a pretty fabulous sandwich
Happy Mother’s Day to Karen!! And such a beautiful lunch to boot.
oh that bread looks TOO good!!!
Happy Mother’s Day, Karen!
hmmm… jam and cheese… i think i might have to give that a try.
I love roasted chicken…it just falls off the bone. I picked up mango the other day…let’s see what happens! I’m sure it’ll end up in yogurt, granola and maple syrup somehow
All right, I’m going to have to try this jam and cheese combo. I’m fond on cream cheese and cranberry sauce, so I’m thinking I might like this too.
That looks so amazing! Cheese and fruit are soooo good together–I wish I had learned that sooner in life!
Aww, you guys are so sweet. I hope you had a great Sunday!
You’ve been looking radiant lately. What’s your seret?
Thank you! I don’t really know – I don’t feel radiant at the moment!! Too stressed!
Such a pretty lunch!!
Happy mother’s day to Karen! I hope she’s feeling well!
That bread just looks to darn good! I either have to find a GH or try to make my own!
I really hope your mom in law gets better soon…having a sick loved one is the worst
def. keeping you guys in my thoughts.
That GH combo sounds like one of the best breads for a cheese and jam! Though, at first I thought the apple pieces were chunks of cheddar, which would NOT have been a bad thing either
That sandwich looks so good. I hope that your MIL got some rest and enjoyed her Mother’s Day.
i LOVE jam and cheese!!!! also, mangoes! I hope Karen is feeling well!
The cheese + jam sandwich sounds like the perfect sweet and savory sandwich! I love sharp white cheddar!

If you’re not careful, you two bread fairies are going to sprout wings!
Wishing you all the best, Karen!
Yummy lunch!
