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!

Elena @ GagaForGrapefruit says
mango is my FAVORITE!
Hilary says
Oooh that lunch DOES look yummy…after eating all weekend, I am craving veggies in a serious way!
Alaina says
That sandwich does look amazing!! I love sharp cheese with jelly. Just by itself. 🙂
Liz says
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.
Amy says
OK, I have GOT to try a cheese + jam sandwich. But not until I get some GH bread. 🙂
staceyhealthylife says
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! 🙂
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
That does look like a pretty fabulous sandwich 🙂
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
Happy Mother’s Day to Karen!! And such a beautiful lunch to boot.
Lisa (bakebikeblog) says
oh that bread looks TOO good!!!
Ellie @ The Mommyist says
Happy Mother’s Day, Karen!
Michelle (your girlfriend for fitness) says
hmmm… jam and cheese… i think i might have to give that a try.
Baking 'n' Books says
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 😉
Christine says
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.
Lauren says
That looks so amazing! Cheese and fruit are soooo good together–I wish I had learned that sooner in life!
Miranda @ Working Mom Works Out says
Aww, you guys are so sweet. I hope you had a great Sunday!
Molly says
You’ve been looking radiant lately. What’s your seret?
KathEats says
Thank you! I don’t really know – I don’t feel radiant at the moment!! Too stressed!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
Such a pretty lunch!!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
Happy mother’s day to Karen! I hope she’s feeling well!
kaila @ healthy helper! says
That bread just looks to darn good! I either have to find a GH or try to make my own! 🙂
Julie says
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.
Natalia - a side of simple says
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 🙂
Lu @ A Mix of it All says
That sandwich looks so good. I hope that your MIL got some rest and enjoyed her Mother’s Day.
Emma (Namaste Everyday) says
i LOVE jam and cheese!!!! also, mangoes! I hope Karen is feeling well!
Angel7 says
The cheese + jam sandwich sounds like the perfect sweet and savory sandwich! I love sharp white cheddar!
