Lots going human interaction going on over here. We have our company here, plus Karen’s mom and sister are in town [I ran into them on the mall!], we have had at least 5 different workmen at the house, plus a kitty. And I need to get down to the bakery!
After catching up on computer work this morning, I went to do a simple gym workout. Stair climbing and weight lifting – since I missed 2 Pumps! I did a mix of free weights and machines – 2 very heavy sets of 15 reps. Didn’t get nearly the workout I do in Pump [I just can’t push myself that hard on my own] but my arms do feel more tired now.
Matt did the grocery shopping this week, so peeking in my fridge today was like opening the December 25 advent calendar door!
I made a big salad filled with mixed greens, carrot, bell pepper and garbanzos. Dressed in olive oil, lavender salt (just realized I didn’t get to the farmer’s market in San Francisco for more!) and a drizzle of honey.
Great Harvest Honey Wheat roll – pinched into croutons – rounded it out as well as some goat feta.
Turn around little guy – don’t be shy!
That’s better…this guy was my dessert!
Have a great one!
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
That salad looks yummo!
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
What kind of apple is that?
KathEats says
I think a winesap?
Elisabeth says
Winesap have always been my great aunt’s favorite, since she had a tree in her yard. They make excellent baked apples! 🙂
Anjali Shah @ The Picky Eater says
Ok that looks delicious! It’s only 11am right now but I’m already hungry for lunch. I think I’ll just eat vicariously through this post while I stand at my desk at work. Btw – lavender salt is the best 🙂
Monica says
Good Morning! My name is Monica and I read your blog every day and really enjoy the photos and great food ideas. I am from Toronto (Canada) and last week met a colleague for the first time who lives in Charlottesville. I immediately recognized Charlottesville from your blog that I read daily. I told her all about the blog and how beautiful the city is….coincidentally she knew your bakery and has bought bread many times from Matt. It is such a small world! This morning I received a package and inside the box were two fresh loaves of bread from your bakery! I can’t wait to try them and share them with the others in my office. I thought I would share this story….
KathEats says
Saw your other comment Monica – so cool!!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
Your salads with the bread on top always look so delicious!
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
Sounds like a busy day and you’re on the go go go! I love the vibrant salad pics…and lavender sea salt..nice touch!
Hope @ With A Side Of Hope says
I love your salad! It’s so colorful and cheerful. 🙂 Have a great day, Kath!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Sounds like a busy busy house! Lunch looks great.. isn’t it fun to come home to a fully stocked fridge?! 🙂 Have a great afternoon!
Ashley @ My Food 'N' Fitness Diaries says
Sounds like a busy but great day for you! Your salad looks delicious, as always! 😉
Susan H. @ the food allergy chronicles says
Now that is my kind of lunch! Lavendar salt? Oh my…that does sound interesting! With honey? Simply divine!
Johanna B says
Nicely stocked (esp when someone else does it) fridges are awesome.
Angel7 says
You made me hungry for garbanzo beans. I think I might open a can right now 🙂

Wish I could get myself to do the salads for lunch thing — yours always look so fantastic! But alas, packing one to go never seems like such a great choice. Clearly, I have salad envy 😉 and plenty of produce in my fridge waiting for me to get on the ball!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
I love your posts–they’re always so perky! Exactly what i need on rainy dreary days like this! That salad looks delicious!
KathEats says
Thanks Liz!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
So delicious!! Your salads are gorgeous!
I love weight lifting 🙂 Feels OH so good.
Anna @ On Anna's Plate says
I can never push myself as hard on my own as I do in classes…oh well! 🙂 Yummy lunch!
Paige says
nice job on the weights session!! I find lifting heavy pushes me incredibly more than the pump classes do. Too bad I can’t figure out how to coordinate it with beats per fun music songs 😉
Amanda says
I know what you mean about not being able to push myself as hard as I do during gym classes. I think I need that pressure to keep up with everyone else!
Enjoy your afternoon!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
Your salads always look so delicious, yet so simple! For some reason, it always seems so complicated when I want to make a salad…and I know it’s not. :-/
KathEats says
You just have to have good ingredients on hand!
Christine @ Oatmeal in my Bowl says
The salad looks fantastic. With garbanzos to keep you full throughout the day. You sound busy, busy but all in a very good way. 😉
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Oh yum! I love rolls pinched into croutons! Sounds like a lot’s going on today. I hope you have a great afternoon!
Lisa (bakebikeblog) says
what a perfect lunch salad! So many tasty inclusions!
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
that salad is beautiful! i love anything topped with goat cheese… and homemade croutons really are the best. i could never go back to store-bought!
Andrea @ The Skinny Chronicles says
What a busy day with so many people! I bet they are all loving you big time. Supremely photogenic apple.
Katie says
Happy Tuesday!
I just wanted to say it was great to meet you at Foodbuzz!
KathEats says
You too Katie!
Molly @ RDexposed says
Advent calendar door-that was great! HAH!

Love opening a fully stocked fridges, although it’s slightly overwhelming with so many choices!
jill chamberlin says
What is the lavendar salt you talk about and where can it be bought at?
KathEats says
It’s from the San Francisco farmer’s market! But you can also make one homemade. Gracefulfitness.com has one!
