I slept well!!
And this morning’s bike ride was breathtaking!
I got up and showered and left the house to get to the bakery to open the store by 6:30. One thing I LOVE about this job is we have a wonderful breakfast selection so I don’t have to worry about eating before I leave! In fact, we have awesome lunches and snacks too, so that’s one element of healthy living I don’t have to worry about.
I’ll be back to my usual blogging schedule soon, but this week I’ll probably be blogging from the bakery in the mornings.
I immediately jumped into training so I had to postpone breakfast for a bit. Hungry!!! Then I was needed on the kneading table!
Finally – nourishment:
A Stonyfield yogurt (strawberry fruit on the bottom) with Cville Cluster granola, half a banana and some Cinnamon Vanilla Almond Butter!
A bit of our Shenandoah Joe’s coffee!
Third Annual Healthy Living Summer NEWSFLASH!
This year Meghann is heading up HLS planning. If you haven’t heard, HLS3 is scheduled for August 19-20 in Philadelphia!! It’s my next scheduled vacation and I’m super excited already!
TICKETS go on sale TONIGHT!!! Head over to the Summit website for all the info!

Gotta run fast to help customers!
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
I think the best part of working in a bakery would be the fresh coffee smell (oh and the bread smell too!) and having coffee available all the time!
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
Scoping out my midday breadboard snacks via your breakfast post! See ya.
KathEats says
LOL!
The Healthy Hipster says
Oooo thanks for the HLS reminder! Really hoping to make it this year!
Katie says
The Cinnamon Vanilla Almond Butter is yummy, had it in my oats this morning. Our jar is almost empty. I think we may have to pick up some of the cashew butter this week when we head to Great Harvest. I dream of opening my own bakery, but for now my own kitchen will have to do. You are so lucky to work in a place that promotes your healthy lifestyle. Have fun helping customers!
Baking 'n' Books says
It’s nice that your flexible about eating and not tied down to having to eat only at home or by routine.
Lisa Fine says
Glad you slept well last night. Maybe you’ll keep getting tired enough from working at the bakery that you’ll sleep better. Hopefully.
I love seeing all of your treats and goodies! Yum. And I’ve always loved working [though I’ve never owned my own place] in food service settings to get fed breakfast or lunch or dinner, or all three!
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
I wish we had a Great Harvest near!
Krissie J says
Very jealous of your awesome breakfast options! I’ll be hovering by my computer tonight to register! I won’t need to worry about travel because you all will be in my neck of the woods! Woo! 🙂
WIERDGREENMAN says
You are so lucky to work in a Great Garvest!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
Yay for a goodnight’s sleep!
So wish I could attend HLS this year, but it’s the same weekend as a bridal shower for a wedding I’m in 🙁
Faith @ lovelyascharged says
That’s the cutest bowl ever! Love the idea of rolling out of bed and having breakfast at work 🙂
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Ooh everything looks amazing! Are you going to be adding custom oats made by KERF to the menu? 😉
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
I can’t even imagine how awesome it would be if my office had the good eats yours does!
Totally excited about tix going on sale! I just need a ticket and a rookie and I’m THERE. Can’t wait to attend for the first time.

Mmm those Savannah bars look amazing! I don’t know how much I could control myself around all that good food.
Elizabeth @ Eat Clean Fun says
Your breakfast looks amazing! What an amazing feeling it must be to realize a dream and start your own business. You rock!
Katherina @ Zephyr Runs says
This is what I love about working in an organic vegetarian cafe! No lack of AWESOME meals at my disposal! I’d love to own a similar cafe one day, but right now working in one has serious perks. Can’t wait to see more blog-from-bakery posts 😀
Freya (Brit Chick Runs) says
Wow, if you’re hungry for breakfast it must be soo hard to postpone it when you’re surrounded by baked yummness!
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
I am really intrigued by the HLS. I have never been to Philly before either.
Heather says
It is amazing how a good night of sleep will make you feel!
Those Savannah bars look amazing – blueberries or raspberries in them?
KathEats says
Both!!
Hope says
So awesome that the HLS is in Philly! I live right outside of it. I don’t know if I am going to be able to go to the actual event but I would love to hang out sometime that weekend! Keep me posted! 🙂
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Glad that you slept well! Looks like you will always have breakfast and lunch under control. What a wonderful thing to not have to worry about. YUM!
Sarah says
Yum! You have me wishing I owned a Great Harvest!
Jennifer says
Glad you got a good night’s sleep. That’s a perfect way to kick off your week. 🙂
Hey, Philadelphia is my neck of the woods. 🙂
Hope you have a great day!
Khushboo says
Delicious breakfast- that’s one aspect which i would kill to have sorted on the gym: meals!
Khushboo says

Keelie says
I was JUST looking at the HLS website before I read this- I had posted earlier today asking if any of my blog friends are attending! I think I’m going to get my tickets tonight!:)
And Vanilla Cinnamon Almond Butter? How? Where? I want!!!
Marissa says
You’re right; this morning was gorgeous! I leaped out of bed at the crack of dawn to take my dog for a long walk. The air was cool and there was a breeze and the sun was just beginning to shine… it was glorious.
Sarah says
Yum everything on this post looks YUM! Those Savannah bars? Yum! Okay I am done now. 🙂
Happy Monday!
Stephanie @ StephSnacks says
The bakery looks fantastic! Good for you! I hope to be attending HLS 🙂
Marisa @ Loser for Life says
I’d love to have my choice of freshly baked muffins and breads every morning! YUM!
Wish I could make it to the HLS this year since I live in Philly, but we have vacay planned already! Would love to have finally met you in person, Kath! Boo 🙁
SquatLikeALady says
Oh man I wish I could go to the HLS 🙁 But if I can save up that much for a flight, it’s going to be to visit my mama back home!
skinnyrunner says

Hannah (tickledtofu) says
The HLS sounds amazing, I hope I can go!!
lynn @ the actor's diet says
glad you slept well! are you gonna start bringing your own bowls/linens to the store for morning photographs?!? 😉
Eileen says
You’re coming to Philly? I live in Philly! I might have to partake in some events this year. Thanks for the heads-up!
Cait's Plate says
I love strawberry yogurt – it’s made only better by crumbling something on top of it! 🙂
Johanna B says
Please ship a dozen of the Savannah bars to my house. I’m kidding, I know you don’t ship stuff and I couldn’t eat them anyway cuz I can’t eat gluten but the thought is there. They look soooooo good.
Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen says
All those goodies look so amazing.
Kimberly says
Mmmmmmm. Cute bowl!
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
You have the most fun job ever! It sounds like you are LOVING being at the bakery!
Emily @ Savory and Savage says
I love early mornings! I always loved opening – but hated to be the one there at the end of the day to do the closing.
HLS sounds fun – I hope I can go this year.
Very cute bowl this morning 🙂
Ellie@fitforthesoul says
This is so cool~I always feel like I’m going to a super cute lil shop field trip whenever I see these posts Kath 😀 I like that diet! working while eating. haha! when I used to work at a bakery, I worked hard and ate A.LOT.
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
mmm the bread smell in the a.m. would be super lovely for sure!
JenATX says
Kath, do you miss having oatmeal in the morning for breakfast? Do you see it coming back into the rotation once you’re more settled at the bakery? Just curious!
KathEats says
I haven’t been in the mood as much since it’s been hot out. I’m sure it’ll make a comeback on the weekends!
kris (everyday oats) says
What a fun and tasty job! All the baked goods look fantastic.
Kate @ NaturaStride says
Excited for the Healthy Living Summit! Looking forward to seeing everyone here in Philly – ya’ll are gonna love it! 🙂
