That’s all we got!
Still very very fun!!
Also very fun? A new bread product!
Before Matt became a baker, I used to LOVE shopping for bread products. Tortillas, pitas, buns, loaves. Some of my favorites were Ezekiel brands, Sami’s Bakery and Food For Life brand [I think! It’s been a looong time.] Once Matt started baking at home, and even more so when we had DA-licious Great Harvest bread as a job perk, I decided bread was an area where we should save money. I hadn’t bought non-GH bread in years until this fall. Lately, some products have been sneaking into my car.
One item I do miss: English muffins! I found these local, home-baked muffins by The Bread Basket in Howardsville, VA. After giving them a squeeze, I knew they were my kinda chew. They were oh-so-good!
One half was topped with warm pumpkin, pumpkin butter and walnuts
The other with almond butter and banana
Both received a dollop of drunken whipped cream!
A chef’s snack was assembled with the leftover pumpkin – and a side of Ambrosial crunch
I’m actually headed back to the kitchen for a few cooking projects this morning!!
Homemade almond butter…Take I.
Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat) says
Wow, we didn’t even get a dusting of snow up here in DC. I’m ready for some powder!
Kimberly @ Servantless American Cook says
We got a little snow in Asheville, too. Time to go skiing! 😀
Gabriela @ Une Vie Saine says
I think the South has gotten more snow than the North this year…all I’ve seen were a few flurries on Thanksgiving!! Hope you have a wonderful Sunday.
Amanda (Eating Up) says
Those English muffins look scrumptious! I’m with you–I’m all about the chew!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
I love English muffins too! We get some every week.
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
I’m sorry you only got a dusting – we got 4+ inches yesterday!
Mom says
You should live in Hillsborough, North Carolina. We got an inch and a half1
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
I wish it would snow here! Good luck with the almond butter 🙂
Blog is the New Black says

Annie@stronghealthyfit says
Yum! Everyone’s making pancakes today 🙂
Kath says
They aren’t pancakes!!
Lauren says
Please share the pumpkin butter recipe. If you already have…..point it in my direction. 🙂
Kath says

Kath says
Or do you mean what was on my breakfast? That was Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Butter
Lauren says
That was perfect!!!!! Thank you.
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
Those English Muffins look delicious!!
We got zero snow in DC 🙁 I thought we’d at least get a dusting.
Have a great day!
Heather (Heather's Dish) says
so pretty! gotta love a light dusting like that 🙂
good luck with almond butter!
Lauren at KeepItSweet says
the snow looks so pretty! love the first snow of the season:-)
Camille says
Hey, snow is snow! It still looks beautiful and magical 🙂
We got some about 2 weeks ago and I miss it 🙁
Christine says
Wrong post to be commenting on but I am fascinated by this Pero stuff you have been drinking recently. Must pick some up to try for myself.
You got more snow than we did (nothing stuck!)
Maddie (Healthy Maddie) says
Yum! I love english muffins. Good luck with your almond butter 🙂
Michele @ Healthy Cultivations says
Your little bit of snow is pretty, but I must say that breakfast is prettier. Have a great day!
Heather says
We may get snow flurries today – I hope we get about as much as you did. That amount makes it look pretty out.
I bought the Ezekiel english muffins last week – I love them!
stacey-healthylife says
I do love raisin English muffins they are so soft and chewy.
Kierstan @ Life {and running} in Iowa says
You’ve got more snow so far this year than we do here in SE Iowa! It snowed for the first time yesterday, but just a light dusting. All gone this morning….
I found what looks to be a promising recipe for English muffins in the “Cafe Brenda” cookbook – I am going to make them this afternoon.
Stacy @ Every Little Thing says
The bread seller was my favorite booth at our local farmer’s market! They made the best breads, with all kinds of flavors.
I’m still waiting for snow here in St. Louis 🙁 I feel like we’re the only area that didn’t get any this weekend!
Kaitlin says
English muffins with warm pumpkin=genius! I do this with pancakes all of the time, but never thought to go the muffin route.
Love the ‘powdered sugar’ photos! How fun 🙂
Simply Life says
I bet Matt could figure out how to make these!
Gabriella @ Embracement says
A little dusting is always pretty, I love the first snow. We’re not supposed to get any in Boston for another week so this bitter cold weather is just a waste in my mind. Breakfast looks delish!
Shannon (A Better Me) says
It’s still very pretty! It’s just REALLY cold & grey here. No snow 🙁
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Lucky! I was hoping for a tiny dusting, but all we got was drizzle and wind.
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
That’s more snow than we will get here in Florida. Is it sad that I’m jealous. 😉
Breakfast looks amazing. 🙂
Felicia (a taste of health with balance) says
cant wait for the homemade almond butter 🙂 hopefully some of your snow comes up here, i’m anxiously awaiting for snow!!
Natalia - a side of simple says
The light snow pictures look so pretty! They definitely remind me of powdered sugar and baking. Perfect for a Sunday! And that English muffin looks an awful lot like pancakes. Yum! 🙂
Mimi says
Weird how I live in Kansas and we haven’t even gotten snow (or powdered sugar) yet!
Christin@purplebirdblog says
I too am spending some much needed time in my kitchen today cooking all kinds of stuff!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I love waking up to snow! 😀 It has snowed here almost everyday this week, and there’s more coming down right now!
Ameena says
I’m so jealous of the festive snow you received! I wish that L.A. would get some completely random, unseasonal winter weather.
Melissa @ I Never Imagined says
It’s so funny to see your snow pics when we’re further north and haven’t had any yet! To be honest, I’m glad it’s you and not me 🙂
Annie says
I made your oatmeal pancake this morning after a good, long run and I was nervous for it to turn out, but my arms shot up in victory when I shook the pan and the pancake scooted across the bottom!! It was delicious, thanks for the recipe!!!
Kath says
: )
Anne P says
Just saw in your other post about your sis and her Matt moving to Durham! Fun… another reason for you to come visit and play 🙂
We got more snow than you yesterday! But it’s already all melted, boo.
Caitlyn (A Spoonful of Life) says
English muffins are one of the best types of breads…at least for breadfast!! Good luck on your almond butter.
Salah@myhealthiestlifestyle says
oh wow….all that looks amazing!!!!!
Amy at TheSceneFromMe says
What’s drunken whipped cream? And did you make it too?
Nothing better than a good slice of bread! And some of your homemade almond butter on top!
Kath says
See last night’s dinner post!
Paige @Running Around Normal says
We got about 5-6 inches of snow this weekend if you want any of ours 😀
Val says
Hi Kath,
You have a gift for making real food look so good I couldn’t imagine wanting junk food after looking at your photos. Hope it lasts…
Val
Kath says
🙂 Thanks
Hannah says
Can’t wait to see how the homemade nut butter turns out! I just made my own for the first time too, and it’s amazing! 🙂
Eliza says
that looks soooo delicious!
I personally think cinnamon raisin English muffins may be the yummiest bread item ever created, hmmm (maybe) 😉 haha….but with those toppings on yours, I’d have to say that is the #1 yummiest English muffin i’ve ever seen =)

wendy sue says

Kath says
Integral Yoga
Nicole @ yuppie yogini says
The first time I ever read you blog was on a snowy day in January. This post reminds me of that day!
Alaina says
It’s definitely no surprise that I am drooling over your breakfast. It looks.so.good. My favorite bread is When Pigs Fly. It’s a local company that started in Maine and has moved down to MA. They make an amazing chocolate bread that makes delicious french toast. 🙂
Namaste Gurl says
Looks AMAZING Kath– you’re making me hungry just reading about this 🙂 Love warm pumpkin, too, with coconut milk preferably.
Jan says
Kath,
I’m curious to know how you feel about sprouted breads ( like Ezekiel) versus traditional flour bread, nutritionally and other sentiments…
Kath says
I think they are good, but I think traditional bread is good too.
I don’t know of any scientific studies that put one on top of the other nutritionally.
Crystal Toole says
That looks SOOO good. My mouth is watering!
