Pear Honey Sandwiches – Crisp pears, sweet honey, and nutty pecans come together is this easy summer vegetarian sandwich. Full of nutrition and great taste!
Now is about the time when all my mom friends are done with summer. They have no more trips to take, they’re hot, they’re tired of listening to their kids argue, and frustrated with trying to figure out how to entertain them for three more weeks. They are counting the days until school starts again.
Meanwhile, I just want summer to go on foreeeever.
Two words: Swimming pool.
Oh wait. That’s not an option for most people, right?
How about these two: Summer camps.
They’re also a glorious thing.
We did two weeks on, one week off, and so on. Perfect balance of keeping them occupied, but also having some free time for family, play dates, and weekend outings.
I’m also not ready to give up on summer foods. I’m never ready for that.

Would never have thought to make a fruit sandwich, but what a nice light fare for lunch on a super hot day.
This sandwich is genius – pears, pecans and honey?! LOVE IT. And then the sprouts. I heart sprouts. Love this!

I think the problem is I didn’t enroll Jordan in enough camps. Every time I need her to be gone she’s RIGHT THERE BORED. Sigh.
True that! When does school start ??
That is completely different to me, but I am totally intrigued. I am going to have to try this and I think my DD would love it.
That basket of goodies looks awesome too. We can’t get enough olives!
