Turkey Sandwiches with Jarlsberg and Sun Dried Tomato Pesto

October 3, 2012

I am officially a “Soccer Mom.” You read that right. I never thought that would be me, but right now our life seems to revolve around soccer.

Soccer

We just started Logan’s first fall soccer season a few weeks ago. He is in heaven. Logan has been begging to play soccer for quite some time. Three days a week you will find us at the soccer fields, lounging on a blanket watching Logan.

With two night practices a week and a game each weekend, some right around lunch time, we have had lots of family opportunities for “tailgating” and the need for simple, wholesome snacks and meals while we’re on the go during out busy sports days.

The schedule makes our life a little bit more hectic (I’ll be honest, it was hectic already), but it has been a lot more fun than I thought it would be. Logan has scored 2 goals during games and has been so enthusiastic.

Cheering Logan and his team on has been such a blast. I am so proud of my little (excuse me – my big guy!) for working so hard with his friends.

I recently put together a new sandwich recipe featuring some Jarlsberg sliced cheese I picked up at Costco just for that purpose. I called them Turkey Sandwiches with Jarlsberg and Sun Dried Tomato Pesto. Not a very creative name, but really tasty!

After preparing the Sun Dried Tomato Spinach Pesto I made up a whole bunch of sandwiches using the new spread and stashed them in the fridge for when the time came that we needed a quick something to eat in the next couple days.
