The Scuffinmobile, the Scuffinmobile, riding along in the Scuffunmobile!
Just the bike that delivers scuffins!
Our downtown plans were rained out, but Faith and Tate were a bit of sunshine!! They invited us over to dinner. I could not have asked for a more delicious dinner, per usual.
We had Rose
And air conditioning!!
And grilled Twin Oaks tofu plus squash grown by Faith
And Dakota buns – “grown” by Matt!
Plus cucs (also a Faith special!) with basil [also home grown] and goat cheese
And a tomato chutney
And of course a giant salad. Get this – the cabbage and peppers from the salad were THOMAS JEFFERSON’S! They came from the Monticello Garden, which Faith picked herself with a friend who works at Monticello. I’m sure there are bits and pieces of Jefferson’s time transferred from the soil to the veggies. And I ate ‘em!
Delicious
Scuffins for dessert!!
Scuffins for President.
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
Can the Scuffinmobile come to California?! I want one 🙂
KathEats says
Haha. Maybe it will go national!
Allie (Live Laugh Eat) says
Thomas J. is in your BELLY!!!
Kelsey @ My Search of Summer says
Haha, love that. How long did it even take you guys to get that positioned on the bike? 🙂
Hillary [Nutrition Nut on the Run] says
What a beautiful, homegrown, homemade meal! Goat cheese, tofu and veggies — that’s my kinda dinner 🙂
Kristy @ KristyRuns says
Dang that dinner looks good! Especially the tofu and local veggies…mmmm…
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
The scuffin would get my vote for prez 😉
Margo @ Peanut Butter Trees says
The little stories behind each part of this meal are wonderful! How fantastic that so many parts of it are grown or made by one of you and you know where everything came from! That is the stuff of good meals.
Baking 'n' Books says
I’d vote for that Pres.
Wow – uh, Faith – can you please invite me for dinner? Your grilled squash is to die for by looks alone!
Angel7 says
Great cookin’ = full, satisfied bellies 🙂

Holly @ The Runny Egg says
Faith and Tate always make the most amazing dinners — wow!
Amelia (Eating Made Easy) says
I love “Platter Dinners” — sometimes its just so nice to have ingredients in their true form, laid out for people to put together in whatever way they choose. So clean and refreshing!
Katie (Sunny Side Up) says
OH MY GOODNESS, that looks amazing! I keep saying I am going to plant a veggie garden and then keep not doing it…this has inspired me!
Emily @ One Sweet Vegan says
We had homegrown veggies for dinner tonight too! There’s nothing better.
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
The whole meal looks perfect!
cucs (also a Faith special!) with basil [also home grown] and goat cheese = nice!!
the tomato chutney. I covet it.
T Jefferson hand-me-downs so to speak…HOW COOL!
Have a great weekend, Kath!
Julie H. says
The husband and I just watched a special about the vegetables planted there; and how the Obama’s have some of Jefferson’s seeds from Monticello planted in their garden….. You were eating a meal fit for a president, for real!!!
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
Scuffin is so much cuter than Spork. I love how air conditioning is a highlight. 😉
Caleb says
In this kind of weather there really is no good reason to NOT have the AC blasting.
Ashley says
Totally craving fresh, garden cucs!!!! Okay, and a scuffin too. 😉
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
So cool about Thomas Jefferson’s greens!! 🙂
You guys have awesome friends in Faith + Tate! How I miss AC, too. Sigh.
Hannah says
Oh twin oaks tofu, rose, friends, and freshly baked sweets! Heaven!
Robyn @ Blueberries and Oats says
Wow. I need to get me some better friends who prepare food (and grow it!) as good as yours! That meal looks simply heavenly.
Just curious, but how did you get the word “scruffins”? Obviously from muffin…and..scraps? o.O
KathEats says
SCONE + MUFFIN 🙂
Valerie says
Okay, so I’ve been reading your blog since 2008, long before I knew the blog world even existed. Your blog was my introduction to the blogging world and this is the first time I’ve ever commented. I was scrolling quickly down Perez Hilton’s website (an embarassing and only semi-occasional guilty pleasure…gulp) and I saw your face! There was an ad for Open Sky with your smiling face holding bread. You’re famous, although I am sure you already know that! 😉 Also, I’ve been going to Great Harvest here in northern California for years and I always thought it was a small local business! I love it! Happy blogging and baking!
KathEats says

lynn @ the actor's diet says
woah presidential veggies! awesome.
Cait @ Beyond Bananas says
loving the makeshift scuffin holder! All of your eats look delish. Cucs are my fave
Jumanah @ Healthy Living in the Middle East says
Faith is always making the most delicious looking dinners- and home grown! YUM.
Lauren says
What a delicious dinner!!!! Faith blows my mind with her elegant dinners.
Cait's Plate says
I’m on board with Scuffins for President. Let me know if you need a campaign manager 😉
That meal really does look amazing. I wish all of mine could have that many “home grown” items – it would be such a wonderful thing. Hopefully that’s what the future holds for most everyone! (Let’s add it to one of the Scuffin’s Presidential stances – “All meals will be home grown and delicious!”)
Sorry rain ruined your plans but at least you had a killer backup! 🙂
Kristen @ Change of Pace says
Hey scuffinmobile come to my house! Dinner looks fabulous. She is SO creative! 🙂
Lauri (Redheadrecipes.com) says
FUN! Wish we had some friends here that cooked for us, especially now that we are in the process of moving! I’ve started blogging again–> Trying really hard to balance work, moving, cooking, with blogging and LIFE!
Katherina @ Zephyr Runs says
Request a stop for the scuffinmobile! You probably have some of Jefferson’s greatness oozing inside you right now, I think that’s how it works!
Hillary says
I need more friends like Faith and Tate in my life—you know, ones who have incredible gardens and are willing to share the fruits of their labors with me!
Candace says
TJ would be so proud! He always said to fill up on veggies and use meat as a garnish…and no meat in sight here! What a great dinner.
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance says
haha scuffinmobile! You’re too cute
Every time you eat with Faith & Tate and take photos, my mouth waters. Tell them to invite me over for dinner sometime too!
SillySavage says
My sister and I went to Monticello last week. The gardens are beautiful. You’re so lucky to get to eat Thom’s food.
kaila @ healthy helper! says
Mmmmmm what an awesome meal! Its not to often that you can say you ate a part of history lol!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
All the dinners at Faith and Tate’s always look delicious. I need some friends like that 🙂
Meredith says
I spy a Sangiovese! One of my favorites wines!
Danielle says
Twin oaks tofu, veggies, salad, GH bread, great friends ánd scuffins for desert. That’s one awesome evening!
Aine @ Something to Chew Over says
Looks great! I wish my friends were that talented in the kitchen 🙂
Laura @ Cookies vs. Carrots says
All of that fresh garden fare looks delicious!
Courtney says
Wow what a delicious meal! And agree if the scuffinmobile can’t make it to Tuscaloosa, AL I think we need a website to order from 🙂
Lea @ Healthy Coconut says
I love the stories that comes with your food. Wish we had something cool like that, a historic place that we can go hangout and pick vegetables around here in SoCal.
rumfunandsun says
Scuffins have my vote but only if they are Gluten Free 😉
Hayley @ Oat Couture says
I’m not a fan of tofu but that looks delish!
Karlee @olivewineandfood says
i love that sangiovese!
Namaste Gurl says
Faith’s cooking always looks so yummy and fresh- what a lucky friend you are! 🙂
anna says
Love everything about this post 🙂 Scuffinmobile, eating particles of Thomas Jefferson, and that amaaazing-looking dinner!!
Meetzorp says
I guess I have missed something along the way, but what, exactly, is a “Scuffin?” Or is that the name of your husband’s bike? Several of my friends have given their bikes fanciful names, including Dolly, Bubbles, and Raptor.
KathEats says
Haha. That would be pretty funny if that’s what his bike was named!!
It’s something we make at the bakery. A scone muffin hybrid! And we were transporting them to F+T’s on the bike.
Laura says
I am way late for replying but omg the gnome mobile! i haven’t thought of that movie (or song) in years – I love both – thanks for the smile : D
