Another day, another sandwich – oh yaaaaasssssss! Of course, this just isn’t any old sandwich this baby is LOADED with grilled chicken, crispy bacon, sweet mixed berry jam, Land O Lakes® Deli American AND fresh sliced jalapenos. It’s sweet, spicy and savory all at the same time. Basically, it’s the best sandwich ever and you need to make this every. single. day. Ok, maybe don’t make it every day. I guess that would get pretty boring after awhile.

Or maybe you never get tired of food and in that case, eat it every day.

Now, totally unrelated to whether or not you get tired of food can we talk about vacations?! You guys, I’m so pumped that I can finally let you all know we are going to London this month! I’m so excited I’ve been practicing my British accent for when I will ultimately start speaking like I’m full on British. I can’t help it. Anytime I’m around someone with an accent I start picking up their accent. I’m pretty sure my friends from Texas think I’m nuts when I start “y’all-ing” all over the place like I was born in the south after spending a few days with them. Totally weird – I know.

BUT back to London – squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee all the excitement! Our tickets are booked and so is the hotel so now I’m obsessed with looking up delicious restaurants and figuring out all the fun places we will see. Let me know if you have a favorite restaurant or place in London because I’m taking notes!

So while I’m sitting down doing all my London research I’m gonna be mowing down on this cheesy sandwich. I know summer is starting to wind down and school (already?) is about to start so why not devour this sandwich while you figure out all the details that will close out the summer. PLUS it really does have that perfect sweet and savory thing going on. You could always add less fresh jalapeno if you’re not too keen on heat. Also, can we talk about the cheese on this grilled cheese? I’m seriously OBSESSED with Land O Lakes® Deli American because it melts perfectly and makes every grilled cheese 100% delicious!
