Cheddar Potato Soup with Chili Cheese Bread

If you've ever been to Mammoth Lakes, than you've surely passed by the infamous Schat's Bakkery in Bishop, CA.  Whenever I head out this way, I look forward to the excellent snow conditions and, of course, lunch at Schat's. They have great fresh baked breads and other goodies. A carboholics paradise.
On my way back from snowboarding, I picked up a loaf of their signature "Original Chili Cheeze Bread". It was a tough decision, but you can't go wrong with cheese, right? Thank goodness my episode of lactose intolerance has passed…. phew! I don't know what I'd do without cheese. The bread, once reheated briefly in the oven, went perfectly with our mugs of comforting cheddar potato soup. What a great dipping bread with its toasty crust, gooey jack cheese spiral and slight chili kick. Simple post-snowboarding meal for a girl that's ready for some serious couch potato time.
BTW, do you love the monogrammed mugs or what? I'm J, he's B. Compliments of Jamie. Thanks honey.

    Cute little cups!! Do you ever cheat and use the other person’s cup?

    I like the setup for the photo. Come be my food stylist, please?

    Reesie… are you stealing my thoughts??? I’m notorious for using the other mug… it just so happens to be the perfect size! :) I wish I had enough time to do a real food styling set-up. Most of the time we’re starving, so we’re lucky if we get one good pic in before devouring it all.
