Every morning I’ve had to get up early I have been up an hour before my alarm waiting for it to go off! Hopefully a healthy breakfast will get me through!
I’m attending the local Blue Ridge Dietetic Association meeting today, getting some learn in!
At the Virginia meeting, the breakfast was lacking a bit on the whole grains front, and I realized I could change that. I tracked down the head of the BRDA and asked if Great Harvest could donate bread for today’s meeting. Luckily they said yes!
I filled up on Cinnamon Raisin Walnut with a small piece of High Five smothered in Naturally Nutty and homemade jam! Fruit on the side (banana as snack?) with tea.
Might need seconds… Baby says so with some squirms!
Happy Friday!
Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
Cinnamon raisin walnut sounds delicious. I haven’t been a dietetic association meeting forever – gotta get those CEUs done!
The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh says
You are AWESOME! Do you know how many people are going to appreciate the healthier option?!
The Mr was in a class 2 weeks ago and imbibed in a few too many Otis Spunkmeyer cookies and said it was nothing but crap foodwise from the cookies to gummy bears to cans of soda everywhere and everyone was griping about the lack of healthy options. So good on ya!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
Have a great time at the meeting! And I love that you said, luckily they said yes! It shows how grateful you are! I bet they were more than happy!

Had I known, I would’ve tried to sneak into that meeting simply for the Naturally Nutty!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Seriously though, who would turn down a donation of delicious whole grain breads like that? Sounds like a perfect way to start the day to me!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
What a pretty breakfast spread! I love how fresh flowers brighten up a table.

After seeing your melty cheese on bread the other day I bought some good cheddar and had cheese toast with homemade applesauce on top this morning. KERF approved? BTW, it tasted great.
Sarah @ Fresh Living says
Good idea to get your grains in! Enjoy your weekend…
Andrea says

Good thinking on your part – I’d probably have thought one step less further and just brought two slices for myself so you’re super nice to have thought of the whole group 😉
Enjoy your learnin’!
Björg says
Wow good job spreading healthiness and influencing others :]
jassy @ Healthy Egg says
it’s really only this month that I began eating healthy–seeing the picture of that 2 whole grain bread with some jam and grapes, i told myself, I could eat that and be satisfied. wow, something inside me has definitely changed 🙂
Averie @ Averie Cooks says
Cinn raisin bread with homemade jam sounds perfect.
Have fun at the meeting!
Annette @FitnessPerks says
What a GREAT idea!! I love good bread in the a.m. I bet you made a lot of friends b/c of that. Heh 🙂
kathleen @ the daily crumb says
what baby wants, baby gets! how great that you are able to contribute healthy options… i’m sure they are much appreciated!
Val @ Tips on Healthy Living says
Whole grain toast with nut butter is my favorite way to start the day. I love my bread, but I recently found out that it was best to always eat grains with some protein and fat because carbs by themselves will cause your body to release cortisol and want more sugar.

You would think they have whole grains for Dietetics Association meeting!
I’m sure a lot of people appreciated your donation of the breads 😀 Looks very yummy.
