Today required quite the logistical planning. We drove to the bakery and first, made sandwiches
Then drove to the radio station for our meeting (and sandwich tasting!)
Then I dropped Matt off at the bakery and went to Body Pump (awesomeness. I really miss it if I only make it to one class a week! 2 is best for me. 3 would be too much. My arms are still shaking!)
Then I drove home, cleaned the bathroom, showered, made lunch, blogged and am driving back over now to pick Matt up. We have a call and then he has a hair cut, leaving me there with no car. And then we’ll drive home together tonight.
About that bathroom cleaning. GAH! Our shower was so gross I just HAD to “waste” 30 minutes cleaning it. I used the Shaklee Basic H spray with a hard bristled skinny brush and then the Nature Bright on the floor. I got most of the grossness out – sans the icky black mildew that is UNDER our sealed grout and will never, ever come up!
A NORMAL KERF LUNCH!!!
I did get a little sick of sandwiches, but I don’t plan on eating them everyday like I did this week. Once or twice a week max is probably a better number to keep the variety up.
Salads are my favorite lunch! (And we do hope to add salads to our bakery menu in time!)
I took mixed greens dressed in olive oil and honey and added leftover beans + local herby goat cheese. Plus a slice of cooked bacon and carrots + green peppers. And those amazing giant seedy raisins! I have to figure out what they are called.
This was delicious!!
I’ve been listening to the Glee version of “For Good” on repeat for an hour. LOVEEEE this version!
Great Harvest Press in The Hook!! [We’re in the print version too!]
And check out this awesome Bread Art Project!
Bizness time!
Averie (LoveVeggiesandYoga) says
Bread art project….Very COOL!
“mixed greens dressed in olive oil and honey and added leftover beans”—EVOO and honey sounds excellent on a salad!
And congrats on your Hook feature…you’re famous (even more so!) !
And the first pic with those PERFECT drizzles on the bread…I need you or your helpers as my food stylists. Perfection! 🙂
Lisa Fine says
I love that first photo too! I hope you add that one to Food Gawker. It’s so pretty and really draws your eyes into it.
Have a good rest of the day, Kath!
klm says
I am so so so so so so so excited for you guys + the new business!!!!! So excited!!
Kayla (Little Miss Healthify) says
Those bread slices with the drizzle are so PRETTY! 🙂
And that salad looks amazingg!
And thanks for the “For Good” glee version link! When you said “For Good”, i was like “wait, from WICKED?!” and it IS! I love Glee’s version!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
The bread project link is really cool! I love the bald eagle slice.
I’m glad you finally got a “normal” lunch — I worked at a sub shop in high school and I got so sick of having a sub for dinner every day!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
That bread art project is amazing! Love the photo on the left – it’s so pretty! I’m pumped to catch up on Glee tonight – I’m going to see the cast on tour in 2 weeks so I need to get up to speed on my songs!
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
Great article! But I cannot believe they used the wrong “they’re” in this sentence:
Of course, it’s not just bread their offering.
KathEats says
Oh dear!!
Kate says
Good lord, I didn’t even notice that….not a big deal.
Marina says
Delicious salad combo!
I could eat sandwiches every day, any kind of them :))
Jenny @ Fitness Health and Food says
Yey for some salad love!
I love that bread art project, is that going decorating the walls of the bakery?? 🙂
natalie (the sweets life) says
love that song and haven’t listened to it in way too long. thanks for the reminder, this afternoon at work will now pass more quickly 😉
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
What great pictures of your salad today! I agree, salad is amazing for lunch!
Once I had to teach BodyPUMP 5x in ONE week. I almost died at the end of the week. ha. I usually teach it 3x/week, so that was a major killer!
Khushboo says
I live sandwiches but can only eat them a couple of times a week! Although that mint change if I worked at GH 😉
Khushboo says
Love*
Kristen @ Change of Pace says
I wish I was more creative with salads like you are. Then I’d probably eat them more! I do body pump twice a week and cardio in between.
Hope says
So exciting!! I love that bread art project. That is awesome!
Gina says
Congrats on the press!! So exciting 🙂
And that salad looks great, craving a yummy one for lunch now!
Chloe (South Beach Girl) says
Oooh, bread art! What a perfect accent for any kitchen! I would also get sick of sandwiches too, even if they were the delicious GH ones I’ve been seeing on the blog 🙂
Pat says
Hmm, not lunch time here yet – that salad looks awesome. I have spinach and romaine, and I have beans and raisins. No goat cheese, but some blue cheese…… I think I have lunch!
Not a Glee watcher, but I’m enjoying this song.
Melissa says
Could your “big” raisins be Sultanas? Haven’t tried them myself, but have heard of them.
KathEats says
Maybe!?
Miranda @ Working Mom Works Out says
I LOVE the bread art. I want some in my kitchen!!!
Awesome.
You guys sound incredibly busy!
Baking 'n' Books says
I was wondering if you’d offer salads. Are they pre-made or would you “make to order”? Same with sandwiches?
Jess says
Are they flame raisins?
Sonnett says
hey kath!
saladlooks delish indeed!
about those grapes….. they are locally known over here in south africa as ‘Hanepoot’ grapes/raisins – they are the biggest of all the cultivars and is used to make the more sweeter dessert wines – which is called Hanepoot too and also used in Port blends – they are awesome in muffins;apple pies/cobblers and fruitcake too! i make my own grape jam with them and the best part is they are so sweet so there is no need to add sugar, also splash a few into your next curry your rustle up – a.m.az.iiiiing! especially if it is a hot curry.
it is a key ingredient in the cape malay curry here and goes well with diced/sliced banana on top thattakes the place of regular sambles – sweetness and curry flavours really marry together beautifully 🙂
KathEats says
Sounds delicious!
Laura says
I want one of your sandwiches! In another month, hopefully I’ll be out there to try one! A good sandwich is truly one of life’s greatest pleasures. 🙂
Which Basic H solution do you use for the bathroom? I find myself using the degreaser formula for just about everything! I have the all-purpose solution but generally go for the degreaser anyway, unless I’m just wiping up crumbs or something. Just wondered which you like to use. 🙂
KathEats says
I use the regular one – but if the degreaser is better – I better start using that more!
Angel7 says
Your salad looks great! The white herby goat cheese makes the salad pop in the pictures.

JenATX says
Kath you are my hero for being so brave and opening a bakery! I brag about you all the time to my boyfriend (and when I told him about the fact that Matt gets to eat grilled cheeses for lunch whenever he wants he was totally jealous). Anywayn, congrats on everything coming together 🙂
KathEats says
<3
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says

I bet it was really neat to be on the radio!
Johanna B says
I still haven’t tried honey on my salad beast but that ends tonight. I bought salad fixin’s yesterday and I got some local organic honey at the farmer’s market last weekend. I’m ready to rock a salad when I get home tonight.
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
That sounds like one crazy day. I’m with you, I love sandwiches, but I’m a salad girl for lunches!
Maggie @ livingfoodjunkie says
LOVE the breadart project, thank you for sharing! I will have to pass this one, so amazing and fun 😀 Psst also love the article about you two in “The Hook”! You two are so accomplished and amazing, totally admire 😀

I loved the Glee “For Good”!!! That song is very special to my mom and I (we sang it together for a big family event a few years back) and both of us absolutely loved it!!
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I love that Bread Art Project! Very creative 🙂
Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen says
That art project is so cool!!
J3nn(Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Salads are my second favorite foods! They’re like disassembled sandwiches to me, lol.
I like the first pic!
Kate @ I Know Who Grew It says
One week and counting until your grand opening, very exciting! Wish I was close by so I could try your bread : )
Have a great last week of prep!
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
The Bread Art Project is so neat!
I really want to try a GH sandwich! There is one near my house, and I will definitely stop by next week for lunch!
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
What a busy day! Love salads for lunch too – they’re my favorite!
Molly @ RDexposed says
I checked out the Bread Art Project-so cool! At least white bread has one good use!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
love the bread art project. food art is the best!
Katherine says
Hi Kath!
Are your “giant seedy raisins” a little bit tart? If so they could be golden berries (aka incan berries). They are chewy and seedy, a little bit sweet, a little bit tart :). I can’t see them too clearly in your picture otherwise I could for sure tell you what they are!
Kat
KathEats says
They are actually really sweet – like a date!
Sarah says
I finally watched the glee season finale today and loved it! For Good is one of my all time favorite songs. So pretty.
Jillian says
That first picture is so pretty!
Thanks for the bathroom cleaner recommendations. My shower does the same thing and I need to do something more drastic about it–I’ll have to try them!
Jillian says
The bread art project reminded me of this video 🙂
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I know what you mean about liking variety in your lunches. I pack a sandwich for lunch on days when I work (since I need to eat fast… so salads are not ideal!) and I’m really starting to get bored of them!!
Ashley says
The bread art is so cute!
Candice says
Hi Kath!
I love your blog, and wanted to say congratulations to you and Matt on the bakery – so exciting! Could your raisins be crimson raisins? They are bigger and sweeter than regular raisins.
KathEats says
Thanks!
They could be – I need to check the labels
Hannah says
First addition to the menu: salads. Second: Dough Boy smoothies? 😉
Nine says
I wonder If your raisins are muscatels? I hate raisins and sultanas ( too squishy for me!) but muscatels are chewy and toffee-like, mmmmm….
KathEats says
I don’t think so – because I really don’t like muscat grapes
Meagan says
I love the first photo of the condiments squeezed on the bread – looks so fancy!
