Goat Cheese ‘n’ Honey Bagelwich

January 31, 2011 by Julie 77 Comments

My lunch today was inspired by my goat cheese and honey dip, one of my all-time favorite healthy dips (and a great one for Super Bowl Sunday, perhaps?).

Alongside a sliced red pepper, I made myself a goat cheese and honey bagelwich on a toasted sweet wheat Alternative Bagel with pear slices.

Pre-Honey

The honey I used on this bagelwich came from the most adorable tiny jar of Dickinson’s pure honey that I snagged from yesterday’s fancy brunch because sometimes I take things.

Mini Honey

The little jar of honey is now resting in my top desk drawer. I’m planning on using it in my afternoon cup of Greek yogurt with some chopped pecans. I’m not gonna lie, I also see several  “honey fingers” in my future. 😀

I drizzled the honey over top the goat cheese using a fork that I licked clean.

Sweet 'n' Gooey

It's Eatin' Time!

Great little sandwich! I wasn’t feeling anything too savory around lunchtime, so I welcomed the sweetness of this lunch.

And now, just because I’m curious…

Who do you want to win the Super Bowl? The Steelers? The Packers? The Orlando Magic? 😉

I honestly don’t care at all. If I had to choose, I must say the Packers are calling to me. Maybe it’s because they’re  from Wisconsin and I like cheese? Really I should find out who the underdog is, because I usually root for them.

    The hubby and I are HUGE Steelers fans, so this is another exciting year for us! (And by the way, they are the underdogs, so you should DEF root for them 🙂 )

    Packers. I hate the Steelers. It’s not really fair of me, but I just have horrible memories of Pittsburgh- I spent a year at Carnegie Mellon and was really unhappy there, so even their sports teams are just kind of ruined for me!

    I’m in the same boat as not really caring about either team. I think my dad said The Packers are considered the underdog? I guess I’ll be rooting for them!

    Your lunch looks like a yummy cheese tray in sandwich form! I’m so in love with the Alternative bagels that I’m having my mom ship me supplies all the way from Florida!

    That sandwich looks amazing! I have like ten of those tiny things of honey, apricot preserves, and jams in my apartment that I’ve “borrowed” from fancy brunches and hotels. Ooops! They’re so convenient and delicious! 🙂

    I don’t care too much, but I think I’ll root for the Steelers. I have family in Pittsburgh, so I’ll go black and yellow for the day.

    I have to try this goat cheese/honey combo. I love goat cheese with anything that’s sweet! I do have to say GO MAGIC this weekend! We’re going to the Wizards/Magic game on Friday…cannot wait to sport my Orlando Redick Jersey. (Even if it’s a St. Patrick’s Day themed one…) As far as the Superbowl goes…Steelers maybe?

        You’re kidding me?! That is so awesome! We named our dog after him. Different spelling though – Reddick … my fiancée is a huge Duke fan and we knew too many dogs with the name Duke already. I just remember hearing a story that he got a tattoo with his Grandma and knew he had to be a fun guy haha.

    That sandwich looks delicious! I don’t really care about the superbowl either. I guess if I had to choose I would go with the Packers. That is only because there is a huge divide across my state, PA. I’m from the Philly area so we love the Eagles here and hate the Steelers. 🙂

    One of the highlights of my summer was discovering honey lavender goat cheese in Maine – I’m gonna have to make your dip one of these days.
    Out of allegiance to a long ago flame from Wisconsin, I have to go with the Packers. His love of cheese curds is still to endearing for me to root for anybody else.

    My teams are usually the Colts and the Saints (last year’s SB was AWESOME!). And when they lost I liked the Falcons, since Matt Ryan is so good and dreamy. Now I honestly don’t care. If you made me choose, I’d also go with the Packers. Stupid Ben Roethlisberger!

I HATE (& that’s HATE with a passion) the Steelers. I can’t even look at Ben Rolisberger (I have another name for him, that’s just not blog appropriate! haha)
    I hope that the Packers blow them out!!

    To say that football is big in Texas might be an understatement, so as a Dallas girl (and born and bred Cowboys fan), I just had to make sure you had the low-down to make your favorite pick for Super Bowl XLV!!!

    1. The Steelers are NOT the underdogs. At least not in Texas they are. The Steelers hold the most Super Bowl wins at 6. Two of which were over us Cowboys. Needless to say, it stings a little. The Steelers won their last Super Bowl title in 2009.

    2. The Packers have 3 Super Bowl wins, and have not won a Super Bowl since 1997. In fact, the last time they even advanced that far was ’98.

    3. Pittsburgh had a pretty stellar season this year at 12-4. Green Bay did ok at 10-6.

    So there you have it! I don’t think it’s very hard to see who I’ll be rooting for come sunday 😉 Green Bay all the way!!!
