Just got back from a speaking engagement and luncheon at Karen’s Albemarle Rotary Club! She has talked about how much she loves going to rotary for years now, so it was fun to see what it was all about.
Before my talk, everyone enjoyed a nice buffet at the Boar’s Head Inn.
I filled up on salad, cottage cheese (can’t get enough!), fruit (ditto!) and some cheese slivers, plus tomato-y fish and rice.
Plus half a cup of cream of asparagus to warm me up!
Karen raves about the Boar’s Head bread pudding, so I had to give that a taste as well. It was quite good!
I presented an abbreviated version of my Real Food Talk to the group. I think it was well received because I got quite a few laughs out of them!
Back at home, blogging from the porch, with a belly rolling around as somebody wakes up from what must have been a nap!
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
Karen is looking fantastic! 🙂
Elisabeth says
She really does, especially in that adorable outfit! 😉
Cait's Plate says
Completely agree!!
So glad the talk went well and you enjoyed your time there 🙂
Sharon says
Yes! That outfit is so classy and flattering
Anna @ On Anna's Plate says
Love those belly rolls…we still watch the videos we took of Lila moving and shaking in the belly! Crazy how much they can move!
Sana says
🙂 Karen sounds like so much fun!
Catalina @ Cake with Love says
I miss tomatoes, I used to eat them every day but after I was diagnosed with ulcer I said goodbuy to them 🙁 I can’t get enough of cottage cheese to, I actually bought a lemon flavored flax seed oil from WF and add a little to the cottage cheese, it is so good!
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
Sounds like a fun event!
Susan H. @ The Food Allergy Chronicles says
The more people are educated on the benefits of ‘Real Food’ the better! I think eating ‘real’ is money well spent…I hope to live a long and active life for as long as possible. Keep up the good work!
Melissa @ HerGreenLife says
It’s hard to tell food quality from photos, but I’ve been a guest at a few Rotary lunches, and that looks WAY better than any of the food I remember.
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
The lunch looks great! And tell Karen she looks fantastic in that colour!
Meghan says
Sounds like a great afternoon 🙂
Fran@ Broken Cookies Don't Count says
Looks like a lovely lunch!
Annette @FitnessPerks says
What a fun event! I bet they loved your presentation 🙂
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
I’ve never actually had bread pudding, but it looks so good!
Caroline @ After Dinner Dance says
You are missing out! If you can find a GF bread pudding you have to try it!
Katie @ Peace Love and Oats says
Haha I already started googling! Just found recipes so far!
Lindsey says
I had some of their bread pudding lat Sunday at Mothers’ Day Brunch! It’s quite tasty!!
Krystina (Krystina Yogini) says
I can’t believe how beautiful Karen looks. She looks younger and more radiant every time you post a picture of her.
kristen @ verbs and vignettes says
seconded! she looks devine. must be all that Vaseline she puts on her face at night. 😉 I will never forget that that was her beauty secret to you. haha.

Averie @ Averie Cooks says

And the cream of asparagus sounds good!
mary @ minutespermile says
Are those southern teas sweet or unsweet?!
KathEats says
Unsweet
Lexi @ You, Me, & A World to See says
Yummmm is that Boar’s head the same as the lunchmeat company?
KathEats says
I don’t think so
Michael Tavallaei says

Hi Kath,
Karen always looks so cute. I love her top in this photo! Do you happen to know where she got it?
Have a super time at the hospital during your classes! Happy Weekend!
KathEats says
I don’t know, sorry. Maybe she will see you comment though!
Karen says
Nordstroms
Dana says
Kath– I had no idea you had a blog! A friend and I were having dinner tonight, and we happen to be talking about bread in CVille and I was raving about your bread and how you too are an RD…of course she already knew and mentioned she follows your blog and loves your overnight oats! Hopefully, we can convince you to talk at a meeting next year:)
KathEats says
🙂 that would be fun! Thanks for stopping by!
