And my lunch today!
100% Matt prepared. I had no idea what he packed until I looked at the photos – gives me some anticipation for lunchtime!
Sardine salad in the works, likely prepared with mustard, mayo, spices, celery and carrot. Looks like he had the rest for dinner last night! And looks like there was a BEER involved – notice the cap and opener! Sneaky!
On a Great Harvest Flax Oat Bran Bun!
FRUIT SALAD!!!! Banana, ‘loupe and watermelon!
And some sugar snaps with TJ’s Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus
(Even Matt knows every lunchbox needs a veg!)
And for dessert – a tiny jar of almonds! Cute!
He must have been tired because that’s all the photos I got 🙂 Did I also mention the laundry was done and the house clean? <3 <3 <3
See y’all for dinner
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
Awh I love that he makes you lunch, that’s so cute!! Yay for Matts (Matts everywhere – this blog, the linked blog..) Have a good afternoon!
L @ Wholwehatorbust says
Gosh, that is precious. What a keeper! Im wondering if he flavored the sandwhich sal with beer?…
Emily says
Does Matt have a single brother? lol I would love to come home to a clean house, no dirty laundry and my lunch packed!! You lucky girl!!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
your lunches always make me feel healthier just by looking at the pictures 🙂
Jessica @ How Sweet says
Maybe he should pack my lunches and include a veggie. 😉
Paige(Running Around Normal) says
How sweet of Matt to prepare your lunch! Love me some sugar snap peas:)
Food Makes Fun Fuel says
Matt knows your tastes well 🙂
Ameena says
I wish your husband could come give mine some lessons. The # of times my hubby has cooked for me in the last 9 years? ZERO. And somehow I don’t think that is going to change anytime soon.
Laura says
Uh ohhh… I think my Mum could sympathise with you: 37 years and not one single meal cooked for her by my Dad… despite countless hints 😉
Coco @ Opera Girl Cooks says
Aww, what a great guy!
Jenn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
That sandwich looks perfect! YUM 🙂
Jenn
Dee says
Dude, can your hubby teach my hubby some of his skills? That’s awesome!
Bethany (Not Unless I'm Being Chased) says
What a keeper ;).
Beth says
Wow your husband sure is whipped! He takes orders like no husband I’ve ever seen.
Jen says
haha you took the words right out of my mouth
Astrid says
Boyfriends are working hard today! Mine is running around getting stuff moved over to our new apartment and buying the last odds and ends we need to make the move successful. Yay for moving! And yay for your excellened looking lunch. They always look excellent. I especially love it when you take photos of the food in nature. Too cute.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
That is so sweet! You guys seem to be a good team! Enjoy your lunch!

Lauren says
Where can I find a man like this? Have you snatched up the only one?!?!
Michele | aka Raw Juice Girl says
LOVE the Matt Bites blog – thanks for sharing it! 😀
And that’s super awesome that (your) Matt packs your lunch, takes photos, and makes sure you have plenty of nutrition! Way to go, Matt!
Lauren says
What a lovey husband! I love when my hubs surprises me with chores being done when I get home. Gotta love it!
Veggielady4life says
Kath…
Glad you’re back home settled. Your lunch looks tasty… except for the mayo. I don’t know why… but I have never liked it… the taste or the texture. Any idea for a good substitute in dishes like this?
And… thanks for the blog link… love finding new sites!
Lindsay @ Summit Sandwiches says
I loathe mayo with a fiery passion too. I usually use Greek yogurt and/or mustard as a stand in for the mayo. I think it works just as well and tastes infinitely better!
Lyndsey @ I'm Lyndsey says
I really think that a delish hummus makes up for yucky mayo! I love tuna salad minus mayo, plus hummus in it’s place. try it!
Kath says
Greek yogurt
Matt says
Cottage cheese works too, and I’ve also made tuna salad with EVOO – it still sticks together pretty well, especially if you use some mustard (preferably dijon!).
Lauren @ Healthy Delicious says
I actually just posted a recipe for potato salad that uses a combo of greek yogurt and hummus in place of mayo. I think using the two gives a better texture and weight than one or the other.
Erin (thehealthyapron.com) says
You have such a sweet husband!! I don’t think I would trust mine to make my lunch! he’s awesome! Go MatT!
Lindsay @ Summit Sandwiches says
I had a fish salad for lunch today too. Mine was a wild salmon salad with a mashed avocado and mustard base. Curry and cayan were added for an extra dose of flavah.
Gotta love getting in those Omega-3s!
Lyndsey @ I'm Lyndsey says
So Jealous!! I’m pretty sure if my boyfriend were to make me lunch, it would consist of celeste pizzas and hot italian sausage on the side. I WISH he could make me a healthy lunch haha, but asking that of him would be BAD NEWS.
Sabrina says
Sweet husband!!
shannon (the daily balance) says
welcome home! so nice that you have such a great man to come home to 😉
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
Fruit salad means its summertime! Yay!
The Healthy Apple says
Can we clone Matt? He is fabulous…what a great husband! Glad you’re home safe, Kath…Good Luck with everything!
Heather (www.runningwithsass.com) says
how sweet! he did good. I love the fruit, looks good!
Sarah R says
What a husband you have! Maybe he should do a guest post that we could show to our husbands about what they could do (laundry, cleaning) while their wives are gone! If only it were that easy…
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
The fruit salad looks perfect! I haven’t had watermelon in ages. 😀
Annie@stronghealthyfit says
That’s a good husband 😉
Sami says
You are one lucky girl! 😉
Sarah (OC2Seattle) says
Hooray for Matt! You snagged yourself a good one 😉
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] says
You have the BEST husband in the world if he packs your lunches and takes the photos for your blog – that’s absolutely adorable!!!
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] says
P.S. in love with the other blog. thanks for sharing!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
yay matts!
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
Cute, I love when guys help us out, it’s so cute to see what they come up with and to see that they have actually been paying attention to what we do.
Kellie says
I’m impressed. My husband would throw in a cold bean burrito from Taco Bell and call it my lunch.
runnerforever says
Wow, and laundry!!! Good man there!
Lisa @bakebikeblog says
awww that is so sweet of Matt – a marriage really is a team effort isn’t it! Especially during these busy times 🙂
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
Awww, that’s so sweet! Hope your afternoon went well!
kate says
I love your little jar of almonds! And I especially love when I come home to a load of clean laundry and a clean house.
Katharina says
That’s really sweet of him! That bun looks amazing. Actually everything does 😀 His mom should be proud hehehe.
amanda says
Awww that was super nice of him to make your lunch.
Kati says
That’s so sweet that he packs a lunch for you! Food is just better that way :>
Hannah says
I think Matt needs to teach the general male population of this world a thing or two. He’s amazing!
Lorin says
Matt is so nice doing that for you. I hope I meet someone who will do that too, although I like cooking and making my lunches but every once in awhile it would be nice to have a guy pack your lunch for you. I’ve got awhile though. (I’m only 17).
Sarah says
I would love to have a packed lunch liked that. P.S. I’m excited you used the word veg, it’s one of my new favorite words! It’s been ingrained in my mind since watching Jamie Olivers Food Rev 🙂
