Gourmet snacking


I know, the title might be a little bit misleading! This might not be your idea of a gourmet snack but after a week of healthy eating, meaning no chocolate or sugary snacks, this simple sandwich hit the spot.

It’s amazing how a thick slice of cheddar cheese smothered in strawberry jam can be so satisfying. YUM!

Ps. If you think the slice of bread looks a little odd that’s because it’s the last slice, the edge of the loaf that everyone seems to not want to eat so it’s always up to me (and the ducks at the local park).

  2. Believe me I know what you're talking about. The first thing I go for when I've been eating fruits, veggies and fish is a slice of cheese. In fact I just had some and it hit the spot.

    Oh by the way, thanks for stopping by my blog. As for your daughter's not liking the idea of taking their balloons, I don't think they will mind at all especially since they'll be able to reap the rewards of what you created with them. Better yet, have them help you make them.

    1. Well, I usually go for chocolate! Just didn't have any in the house!

      And I will have to try using those balloons!

  3. Your Cheddar cheese and Strawberry preserve on wholegrain bread doesn't sound that far removed from Stilton and quince paste on a water cracker.. in fact, it sounds like a hipster alternative ;-)

    1. Not just 'hipster' - more like 'cheapster'!

  4. The best part of a little deprivation is everything "real" tastes so good. A slab of bread and a hunk of cheese can fulfill my needs!

  6. I would prefer chocolate than cheese. :D As long as it hit the spot for you, that's what important!

    1. Bread is sugar! Very true! That's probably why I like bread so much!

  10. I've never tried the combo of cheddar & strawberry jam. Sounds great! And it's funny about how some people never want to eat the end piece of the loaf (the heel?). I actually like it, but I know lots of people who never will touch it!

    1. Me too - I like the 'heel'! My kids and husband never want the ends!

  11. I love the bread ends :D Now, who wants me in their house? Btw, love thick slices of cheese too. Sometimes too much that i need to squint my eyes to swallow them.

    1. Cheddar and honey works too! It's the sweet and salty combination!

  14. Cheese and strawberry jam, I haven't had that in such a long time (my husband looks at me weirdly) and even with cooked ham I like it. I'm glad I'm not the only one!
