This awesome, healthy sandwich is fully loaded with all of your favorite autumn flavors and is great for making ahead!

Hey guys! So Halloween is in just a few days!! I'm SO excited! We've basically bought all the candy ever made (as we have been warned multiple times that our new home is on the "it" Halloween trick-or-treating street). I definitely don't want any kiddos disappointed because we ran out (or, ya know, to egg our house or anything 😉 ) We're also working on putting the finishing touches on the girl's costumes - and by that I mean deciding on makeup and such, because I so did not make their costumes. Yeeeah, nope. I'm not that mom. #sorrygirls

We've definitely had a busy week and have another busy week ahead, with lots of fun Halloween activities, a birthday party, family night at the Sea Life Center and the general getting-ready-for-the-big-day antics. Something that I love to do when we've got a lot going on is make my lunches ahead. I mean, if you've been reading along for a little while, you already know this about me, the girl's a planner. 😉

That's one of the things that I LOVE about these sandwiches. I made a ton of them ahead this week, wrapped 'em up, threw them in the fridge and then we could just grab one at times when only a sammie could save the day... like a quick lunch or on our way to soccer practice. I even had one for dinner the other day because I was doing lots of blogger-y stuff and kind of forgot to stop and make dinner... oops!

Back in the day, I used to make sandwiches with so many things that just don't fit into my lifestyle anymore - things like: creamy salad dressing spread, American singles*, store-bought ketchup, and (gasp!) white bread. I know. Freaking white bread, man.

But hey, that's all in the past. It's been almost two years now since I made the decision to stop putting things in my body that had ingredients I couldn't pronounce and start eating real, whole foods and there's no going back for me. That was when I started buying Sargento's always 100% real, never-processed, natural cheese. I was super excited that they wanted to team up with me for this post, because I legit eat Sargento cheese every. single. day. No joke. This girl likes the cheese, what can I say? Hey, don't judge me. I totally saw you throw an extra fistful of cheese on that salad yesterday. Oh yeah. I know aaaaall about you. 😉

Let's get down to the flavahs in this sandwich, because O.M.G. are you guys going to love this one. First off, my Pumpkin-Goat Cheese Spread. When I came up with this a few weeks ago, I instantly knew it would be so awesome on a sandwich and it IS. It's rich and slightly sweet which pairs so perfectly with those gorgeous tart cranberries. Then (as if that wasn't enough fall fantasticness) rip up a little bit of fresh sage to sprinkle on top, add some thick-cut low-sodium turkey and some slightly smoky provolone cheese and you've got yourself one heck of a sandwich. Btw, this would be great with some leftover Thanksgiving turkey! But the best part? This makes a great grilled sandwich, too! Exhibit A ↓ - That awesome sliced-from-the-block (er, wheel?) provolone cheese gets so ooey and gooey and just freaking drool-worthy. You need this in your life. Stat.

*Fun fact: American singles are also known as "pasteurized process cheese food" (yep.) and by law only have to contain 51% actual cheese. For reals, folks.

Enjoy <3
