Due to the fact that I met Matt at the homebrewers meeting last night, I asked him if he would pack my lunch (and photograph it!) for me. Luckily, he’s the best. I think he had a little too much fun with this one!
I’m guessing these are the ingredients for the salad I asked him to pack…
And this must be the salad!! I’m guessing it’s spinach with carrot, green pepper and shaved cheddar. And some herbs from our garden on top!
I’m also guessing he added the olive oil and honey dressing I requested, but I guess I won’t know till I start eating!
I also requested a PB+J sandwich on the new Apple Nut Bread he brought home from Great Harvest.
Guessing these are the ingredients he used…. also guessing he used the Italian Plum Jam because we’re now out of Crofter’s!
No guesswork here – that looks like one heck of a sandwich!!
I’m guessing he gave me the bigger half…
And ate the small half for a snack!!
I added this pear at breakfast ’cause I felt I needed one more component.
I’m guessing this is gonna be a great lunch!!!

NOTE: Breakfast this morning DID hold me over really well. But not any more than some of my best oatmeal bowls. And definitely not 200+ calories more worth. But still good that it did!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
that is the most gorgeous pear! sounds like matt should go into business making lunches…i’d LOVE something like that salad 🙂
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
Haha I love that photo of him eating the sandwich! Such a fabulous self-portrait, I think you should frame it and hang it where EVERYONE can see it 😀 *jokes 😀
Have a good afternoon!
Heather (www.runningwithsass.com) says

Pb&jam sandwiches are the best. They never fill me up unless they also go along with a large salad like yours…perfect! 😀
And the bread looks awesome…mmm…
Salah@myhealthiestlifestyle says

Emily- Inside/Outside says
I’m curious about this olive oil and honey idea for dressing. i always use store bought dressing, but i might give this a try. it sounds more healthy, i think?
Katie@ Two Lives, One Lifestyle says
Cute post- sounds like you’ve got a great guy :). And a great PBJ!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
My husband loves making meals for me too. I think they get a kick out of it! Everything looks yummy! I am with you on extra calories…if I eat them, I want them to hold me over a lot longer! Have a great afternoon!
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
I have to get my boyfriend on board with packing me lunch. Must be nice!!
Erin (thehealthyapron.com) says
wow. A hubby who packs YOU lunch! Where did I go wrong? haha I have to pack my hubby’s lunch otherwise it’s a sandwich on white bread with chips for him. We’ve come a long way. Matt is super healthy!
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
That apple nut bread looks to die for! I had my first great harvest bread yesterday and it was fantastic 🙂
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
That’s so sweet that you can ask Matt to not only make lunch and photograph it. My lunch would not look nearly as wonderful if Hunni made it. Love him dearly but he would buy me a gift card to panera 😉
Victoria says
I love this post! You and Matt are an awesome Duo!
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
Awww, Matt is so cute! Love how he gets “Kath-like” with staging the food shots.

Sarah R says
What a fun post and a nice husband to pack you lunch. My husband would be clueless! 🙂
Jenny says
I love that he packed you lunch!! So presh!
Veggielady4life says
Do you mix the honey and olive oil together before adding it to the salad or do you drizzle both on top?
Kath says
I just drizzle them on – the easiest way!
runnerforever says
Matt is so sweet, you found a good one girl! 🙂
kate says
What a nice husband!
Diana @ frontyardfoodie says
Aww! That’s so cute! haha. He did a great job and I’m seriously impressed with his skills!
Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat) says
Peanut butter and jelly never gets old. Whether you’re 5 or 50, it’s equally amazing.
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
When my husband makes dinner he has to take the pictures and
I never know what is going to come out. It’s a great different style and it’s so nice that they are willing to help and such supporters of the blogging.
Sam says
ARGGG! I finally got my sagaform bowls from your open sky but they are not the same as whats pictured 🙁 bummer!
Kath says
Whoa whoa!! Which ones? If you email me about it I’ll forward it to my team and see that the order is fixed.
Sam says
The little snack bowl with the neat-o spoon. They already wrote to me and gave me the ones I got for free. (yippy!) Yours was different because it had the space to cradle the spoon. Mine came with one hump just for your thumb…not a double hump:) Its all good though. Thanks for being so on top of it!

Ali @ Redhead Reports says
What a sweet guy to pack your lunch AND photograph it for you!
Sarah (OC2Seattle) says
That is a serious PB&J! How awesome of Matt to make and photo lunch for you!
wendy @ ABCs and Garden Peas says
I’m totally showing this to my husband.
Actually, he’s a good one…and he’d probably be down with packing my lunch, but I can’t imagine what I might end up with!
BTW, I’m considering finishing up my degree in dietetics, and you are an inspiration! Thx!
Simply Life says
that looks like a great pb&j!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
I want Matt to pack my lunch!!! Lol.
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
i agree – i want matt to pack my lunch too.
Michelle says
That’s the all-veggie salad I made all the time when I first started Weight Watchers! … Sort of. I’m not a fan of most raw veggies, so I made spinach+bell pepper+shredded carrot salad. I don’t remember putting much cheese in my salads in the beginning, but now I typically put parmesan, mozzarella, or goat cheese. 🙂
Michelle Hisae says
Aww so sweet! He has help in the lunch area, though – just look at your old posts! Haha. Definitely a well-rounded one. I hope you enjoyed it. 🙂
jenna says
matt is too good!
Camille says
Aww, I love that Matt packed your lunch. So cute!
Dawn (HealthySDLiving) says
Looks like he did a great job–what a sweetie!
Sassy Molassy says
Ah, i’m bummed i didn’t get the green and blue buddha bowls this morning before work. Now all gone. Let us know if that same color combo is back in your store. Looooove those color options and the bowl of course! 🙂
Wei-Wei says
Aww, how sweet! I love that picture of him with the sandwich snack – yum! 😀 Matt takes good pictures of food. 🙂
