Just call me a chicken because I seem to have lost my head somewhere between Main Street and the bakery!
Still whirring around from one place to the next! I cleaned the sinks in the bakery this morning (geez, construction guys, could you make a bigger mess next time!?) and swept up who knows how many piles of dirt. Matt is assembling bread racks! Photos this afternoon 🙂
At 12 I knew if I didn’t set out on my run soon I’d get too hungry – and I still had a bike ride home (which takes about 20 minutes). I stole a bite of Matt’s Fruition bar for some quick tide-me-over energy and headed out the door.
Since I also had biking + cleaning on the agenda, I just stuck to about 3 miles of running. But they were 3 miles in my favorite neighborhood so I could have done for so much longer!
Home – lunch – fiesta in my mouth!!
I had leftover wheatberry chili topped with half a small avocado and cilantro, plus cholula!
And tortillas + an orange on the side
Crunch.
Dessert.
A pretty festive Cinco de Mayo celebration if you ask me!
I’m about to start a GH conference call, then I’m headed back to the bakery for an interview, a meeting and some more assembly!
See you for dinner!
Angel7 says
Happy Cinco De Mayo 🙂
I like chili, especially if it has an avocado in it!

I’ll be eating something very similar for dinner tonight. Chili + avocado is so delicious.

I have NO idea what cholula is…the green leafy thing!?
Have a good afternoon!
KathEats says
Haha – no it’s hot sauce!!
Michelle (your girlfriend for fitness) says
I haven’t had GH bread (none close to my house), but I do buy bread from a local bakery that is similar and I can not go back to store brand bread. I’ve been wanting Mexican food all week since It’s poppin up all over the place, I can’t wait!

Hey get out of C-ville this weekend or the next and head to DC– you live pretty close! The embassies in town are having open houses this Saturday and the next and will be having performances, food and tours. All FREE! It’s an annual event for me and my girlfriends. Make sure you get there early!
I love big cities =)
KathEats says
Um, no thanks!! Cville’s where the party’s at.
Johanna B says
I had a juicy delicious orange for dessert at lunch, too. I’m hooked on them at the moment.

cinco de mayo party! looks so good
Angie @ Musings of a Violet Monkey says
Yay for Cinco de Mayo.
We are celebrating with local-chicken tacos and margaritas at home tonight!
I have an avocado at home nestled in my ripe bananas, hoping that he’s ready for dinner tonight! I could only get unripe ones at TJ’s on Tuesday. Hanging out with the bananas has been helping him along.

Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen says
Busy bee – and why have I never put avocado in chili before? Genius.
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
What an awesome lunch! Love the toppings and that orange looks like the perfect side.
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Yum yum!! I’ve been eating Mexican/Tex-Mex inspired food all week and still am not tired of it. The chili sounds delicious. Happy conference calling! 🙂
cayla says
are fruitions your favorite type of protein/energy/granola bar?
KathEats says
No, homemade ones are! But I like Fruition and Larabar the most for their natural ingredients if I have to buy one on the run
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com says
Yummy fiesta foods!! I have serious cravings for Mexican foods now 😀
Hope says
Your lunch is very festive! I love Mexican food so much! A restaurant brought Mexican food into my work today and I was very disappointed. It was awful. I’m looking forward to my own cooking of Mexican tonight! Love guacamole! 🙂
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I love mouth fiestas. I can’t wait til dinner so I can have one of my own 🙂

A perfect Cinco de Mayo lunch!

Mexican is one of my favorite cuisines. Give me some chips and salsa/guac and I’m a happy camper! 😛

Lisa (bakebikeblog) says
best of luck for all your afternoon tasks!
Emma (Namaste Everyday) says
thats a perfect cinco de mayo celebration! i’m really craving that chili
Molly says
Adding avocado to anything is a good idea, especially on this holiday!
Caroline @ French Ponytail says
Yum, this looks good. I think I would scoop on some fat-free sour cream too maybe, and even a little shredded cheddar? I’m sort of partial to creamy condiments & cheese though (which I guess would take the health factor down a notch).
KathEats says
I would have but we’re all out of yogurt + cheese!
Namaste Gurl says
Wheee– looks yummy! 🙂
Amanda (Eating Up) says
Every day is so exciting!
Julie H. says
Where is the MARGARITA?!?!?! You NEED one of those, even if you are cutting back!
A ‘light’ version…. Shot of tequilla, 1/2 a shot of triple sec, shot of pineapple juice, shot of lime juice, sugar free lemon-aid mix, LOTS of ice…. oh yah, and an egg white. (the egg white makes it all sorts of frothy and delicious!) Blend and enjoy on a sunny porch! 🙂
HOLY COW! Take my word, simply wonderful or make your own just to check it out.
SquatLikeALady says
Gosh you are one busy bee lately!!!
Anna says
Are you working with an architect on your bakery? (I’m almost one, still working on my exams.) We instruct the contractors to clean up after themselves in the specifications. If s/he didn’t this time, definitely ask for it next time. It’s standard in all our projects!
KathEats says
Well our contractors have been cleaning up their stuff, but not their dust!
Khushboo says
I love chili! I made it for dinner last night with soy mince and white beans and had it with the works! Looking fwd to lunch later thanks to leftovers 😀
Hannah says
Watch out Sadie! It’s Kath the Cleaning Lady!
Allison @ Happy Tales says
