Someone recently mentioned to me in passing that I should try the amazing cheese from Pure Luck Farm and Dairy, and I filed the information away in a back drawer in my brain labeled “maybe you’ll remember this if you’re lucky and the moon is in the right phase.” Luckily for me, the moon was apparently in the right phase last week as I stood in the cheese section of the Wheatsville Co-op in Austin, Texas. Little tubs of Pure Luck Goat Cheese called my name. I bought one flavored with honey and thyme.

Of course when I arrived home I had to immediately try a bite, and then had to immediately force my roommate to try it too. This is the real stuff folks. It pulls no punches. Really good goat cheese just melts in your mouth. This goat cheese has the usual goat cheese tang, but the honey and thyme make it even more interesting and delicious. I’ll admit, I wanted to do the When Harry Met Sally “I’ll have what she’s having” scene after a few bites of this cheese.
So what to do with this manna from heaven? (Aside from spooning it directly onto my newly addicted tongue) I came up with two light sandwiches based on this cheese. Try these on for size:
Pear and Goat Cheese Wrap
1 Whole Wheat Wrap
Baby Spinach
1 Bartlett Pear
As much goat cheese as you want (suggested: Pure Luck Honey Thyme Goat Cheese)
Avocado Goat Cheese Cruncher
2 slices Oat Bread
1 small Avocado, sliced thinly
Handful of Sprouts
Crisp, crunchy Romaine Lettuce
2 slices Tomato (preferably an heirloom variety, such as German Johnson)
As much goat cheese as you want (suggested: Pure Luck Honey Thyme Goat Cheese)
Bon Appetit!
