We had such fun hanging out with Caitlin + Kristien and Kristien’s brother Nick! We were bums on the couch with fun TV and then took James for a 45 minute walk around the neighborhood.
When we returned it was 5:00 and my run was catching up with me with some sudden hunger!
Enter Caitlin‘s newly canned Ball Jar Blueberry Jam!!
It tasted fabulous but it was a bit….unspreadable. Quite the gel! I had some Costco PB (yum!!) and jam on Great Harvest Honey Whole Wheat. Mmm!
We finally headed home back to Karen’s and just headed up last week’s pasta bake for dinner.
It was even better reheated!
Matt put together this fabulous simple salad of greens, tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, Garlic Gold, salt and lime juice.
A Margarita salad!?
Was starting to feel really hungry again so I had a big slice ‘O watermelon!!
It worked its magic.
Going to read and get my body clock back to earlier mornings. I’m working at Great Harvest on Tuesday for "practice" and have to get up in the 3:00 hour!!
Lauren @ eater not a runner says
Wow that is a super early wake up, should be exciting though!
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
It looks so yummy!
I hope you have a great day with Great Harvest. Sounds so early so I suspect there will be a nap in your future 🙂
Shannon, Tropical Eats says

Jessica @ The Process of Healing says

jenny in new york says
That makes me want to branch out from my raspberry jam. yummm
Dorry says
Can’t wait to read about your time at Great Harvest! I wish there was still one in Dallas. 🙁
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
Dinner looks like the best leftovers I’ve seen. I’m jealous of your leftovers. 🙂
Jess. says
Sunday’s are meant for relaxing and laziness every now and again (although I would not consider a 6 mile run and a 45min walk laziness). Glad you got to just relax and enjoy a day- I am sure things will be a little hectic with the move coming up!
Meg says
Oh my goodness, so excited to hear about your GH experience 😀 Rest well!
Chelsey says
that is very early!!!!
i’m taking full advantage of sleeping in (ummm 7 a.m.) during the summer. 5 a.m. will come soon enough on August 23rd.
tanyasdaily says
The salad looks refreshing.
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
Your dinner looks absolutely fantastic! I hope your body does ok waking up so early.
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
Baker’s hours are insane!!! Get plenty of sleep 🙂
Hannah says
Most dinners taste better after they’ve been able to “rest” a bit – at least, hot dinners do! And even better, that lasagne still looks good for us! 😛
Jordan says
Have fun getting up that early! Oh my gosh I couldn’t do that.
Dinner looks so simple but yum. I love nothing more than a fresh salad and some type of pasta.
The Wife of a Dairyman says
I really want to try canning some strawberry or blackberry jam. When I can devote an entire day to it, it’s next on my list 🙂 3:00a.m. sounds awfully early!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
i want to bury my face in that watermelon…it’s been way too long!
Kacie (Nonexistent Colors) says
I seriously think Kirkland PB is THE BEST peanut butter out there!! Every other kind just tastes— fake to me! Looks like you guys had a great time!!
Freya @ Brit Chick Runs says
Haha, everytime I see you (or Caitlin) write canning, I get confused- over hear, that would mean like getting told off or fired (‘oh I got canned!’), whereas the canning you talk about is called bottling. Very confusing!
Stacey @ Tipping the (Kitchen!) Scales says
I don’t envy you having to get up at 3:00am – ouch!!
Cara says
You poor soul!
That is such an early hour. Good luck and have a baking blast.
Caitlyn @ A Spoonful of Life says
If waking up at 3AM meant getting to try GH Bread, I would be there!! It’s funny what we would do for great food!
Have Fun!
Brittney says
I use that Costco Organic PB too. It’s good stuff 🙂
christina cadden says
mmm, looks so good!
Wei-Wei says
Wow what? 3.00am?!?!?! CRAZY! But then again, there’s a reason you can buy bread at 6am… :S I can’t believe you got to try Caitlin’s canned jam! It looks great 😀
