We had a guest speaker from Lance come talk to our Food Science class today about Research + Development jobs. She brought us these cool hats! I am not a hat person, but this one is super soft and maybe I will become one.
Things Kelsey and I have in common:
- New hats
- Blonde hair
- African spoons (I brought her one)
- Veggies for lunch
- Matching lunch boxes
- Yoga Jam water bottles
- Sony SD880 cameras (as of last week!)
Here’s our friend Lauri in her hat
And here’s her guest lunch post of a chicken, spinach + boursin cheese sandwich on Great Harvest bread (she’s a supporter!), grapes, and popcorn plus a pear for a snack
On to What Kath Eats:
Pumpkin Butter + Tempeh on GH Rice Bread (obv. my favorite sandwich of the year)
No need to cook the tempeh – just plop it on.
A pile of veggies
With a greek yogurt + sriratcha dipping sauce (really good!)
Fruit, which I saved half of for Foodservice entertainment
Peach Chobani
Study time!
life coach jen says
You are so sweet to bring a matching spoon to Kelsey! I still haven’t tried that tempeh sandwich – but it looks good.
vegantickles says
I never knew that you could eat uncooked tempeh. I mean, I know it’s fermented, interesting.
Weekly Bite says
Great looking lunch! Good luck studying!
JENNA says
I think youre a hat person..looks cute!
random question: what does tempeh taste like?
Faye says
Greek yogurt and sriratcha??? Really? I’ll take your word on it. Well, strawberries in balsamic vinegar sounded really odd to me before I tried it, so I guess I’ll have to try greek yogurt and sriratcha for myself!
VeggieGirl says
HA!! Love it 😀
Amie says
All the things your brought back from Africa are so cute! I love the ring and spoon especially. The tea looks good, what does it taste like?
brandi says
fun – i loved when we would have guest speakers in class.
Marissa says
Your sandwich looks yummy!
Katelyn says
You guys are so cute! I love the veggies, yummy!
Hallie says
I am trying that yogurt/sriracha sauce combo asap. I am obsessed with that hot sauce. Makes sense that it’d be good since plain yogurt is a great sour cream sub.
Now the question is, would I be able to make it and serve it to the boyfriend without him seeing what’s in it? He just doesn’t believe me that plain yogurt tastes like sour cream heehee.
amber says
That dipping sauce sounds good! Well greek yogurt and just about anything always sounds good to me, but this I must try! The pair of you, K&K are so cute! You are rocking those hats, and cool spoons!
Kelsey Miles says
I loooooved the dip… I am inserting it into my mental recipe book..
Priyanka says
I have to try Tempeh, never had it before.
PS: I love Sriracha adds kick to anything bland and boring!
Kelly says
Looks yummy!
What type of Tempeh do you suggest??
Sarah (lovINmytummy) says
Don’t you mean “triplets”?
Do all the nutrition students eat so healthy? I think it would be hilarious to see you guys with all your healthy food and then there’s a classmate of yours that eats McDonald’s every day.
Mel says
You guys are too cute in your matching hats!
Courtney (The Hungry Yogini) says
What cute little twinsies. And yum-o lunch!!
Lara (Thinspired) says
You girls are too cute. It’s nice that you have friends to take classes with 🙂 Love the hats!
Runeatrepeat says
I want a twin! Anyone out there with red hair and an addiction to frozen yogurt?…
I am curious to try that greek yogurt and sriracha, but it’s kinda adventurous for me…
Casey says
Kath,
I just had my first try of Chobani and Barney Butter while you were in Africa! They were both GREAT!
Erin says
Uncooked tempeh, huh? Hmm…I’ll have to think about this one.
Kara says
I just bought peach Chobani and I’m way excited to try it!
Haleigh says
Delicious sandwich combo! Love the hat 🙂
Michelle T says
Speaking of spoons, I bought one this weekend too!!! Though it ain’t half as cool as your ones from Kenya. mine are Hello Kitty ones from Sanrio. hahaha 😛
I love that sandwich combo and am TOTALLY gonna hve to try out out -sans the tempeh. I’m still not sure if i’m a fan of those, but the bread YES! Pumpkin butter! yES!!!! 🙂
megan says
I used to take food to classes all the time in college to amuse myself. It wasn’t always as healthy as your fruit though 🙂
Danielle says
What a great sandwich combo!
Love your hats!
Lee for the love of peanut butter says
i love the hat, kath!! and the pumpkin tempeh sammie? i can’t wait to try!!!
Jessica says
You both look great in your hats, super cute twins. I’ve been eating your tempeh sandwiches too (with cranberry apple butter) – yum! From the photo above It looks like you slice your tempeh horizontally as well. Would you say you portion a 1/4 slab divided in two per sandwich?
Ansley says
Yeah, what DOES tempeh taste like? I tried seitan, and it reminded me of a latex rubber glove… Hopefully this is a different story?
Bec says
aw you and Kelsey look adorable in your matching hats!
Sara says
Cute hats! What a great lunch! It all looks so good. 🙂
K says
Love the twinsies! I may have to try your yogurt dipping sauce combo – sounds yummy!!
Moran says
Haha I like the matchings…and the colorful lunch!
Missy (Missy Maintains) says
So cute! Love the matching hats!
HeatherBakes says
Cute hats!
Straight tempeh, eh? I’ve only had it marinated and baked. But that sandwich looks great!
Lisa D says
I 100% approve of this entire lunch!! I have yet to try raw tempeh(ok thats a lie I always sneak a bite when I’m cooking it) but I think it may need to make it’s way into a sandwich. I was just concerned always about the moldy bits and thinking maybe I had to cook them for food safety purposes?
zestycook says
Pretty healthy looking lunch girls! I like it. Sharp in the hats as well 🙂
zest!
Carrie H says
Ha ha … you really do see all your comments, huh?! You even saw mine in the middle of the comment craze on your breakfast post today!
Carrie H says
(I meant that nicely, and I would have posted that there, but I didn’t want to be unfairly entered twice!)
Sharon says
Hahaha, totally love it!
pumpkin says
yum… that sandwich looks awesome. By the way what’s your favorite GH bread there’s one an hour a way that I am making a trip for and I’m not sure which kind to get. All looks sooo good.
Mara @ What's For Dinner? says
I just saw this pic on Kelsey’s blog and i LOVE IT!!! You’re both so cute!
charity says
Hi! I’ve been reading your blog and this will be my first comment. Since you’re studying nutrition, I was wondering what your thoughts are on the Master Cleanse. My thought is that it would help me kickstart a new healthy eating plan (one that will be permanent). However, I’m not sure if the Master Cleanse is a good way to go about it. I don’t want it to throw my body into starvation mode and end up slowing down my metabolism and hoarding any calories it comes across.
Jennifer says
What kind of pumpkin butter do you use? I am sure you’ve mentioned it somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it. Thanks!
Leah @ Simply Fabulous Now says
Lunch looks fab today! LOVE the strawberries!!
Lauren says
You’ve convinced me to give tempeh another try… I wasn’t a huge fan the first time I tried it, but I WANT to like it!
Elizabeth says
Thanks for pointing out that your tempeh is uncooked – I’d like to try this! And I’m totally drooling over your GH bread – there was one in my hometown but sadly none up here in NH. Bah!
Kelsey Miles says
*** In this picture we are holding CARROTS.. on B+B we are holding CELERY!! 😉
Kath says
JENNA + Kelly + Ansley ,
I like the three-grain kind by Lightlife. It tastes kind of like rice, because this one is made from grains – barley, rice and millet. It’s pretty mild. Maybe with a slight fermented taste, but not strong. I could see how rubber glove might not be too far off though… 🙂
Sarah (lovINmytummy),
All the nutr. people don’t eat as healthy as you would expect! But I don’t see many of them eat, so I don’t really know.
Jessica ,
I usually cut the tempeh block into thirds and then cut those thirds in half long-wise. So each sandwich slab is 1/6 of the original block.
Lisa D,
I think the packaging says that those dark spots are harmless. They are def. not mold!
pumpkin ,
My favorites are in this order: Flax Oat Bran, Whole Grain Goodness, High Five Fiber, Dakota, Honey Wheat. Be sure to check your store’s calendar because they don’t make all of the breads on the same day. You also should be able to get a sample right there on the board in the store.
charity ,
I’m not really sure what the Master Cleanse entails, but it sounds like something I would definitely not recommend. The body is designed to detoxify and cleanse itself with the organs you were given. Give yourself whole foods and plenty of exercise and you’ll get a great kick start to weight loss and health.
Jennifer ,
This pumpkin butter is one my parents got at a local shop, but I love Trader Joe’s brand. it might only be available in the fall though.
pam ,
Sounds awesome!
Kath
pam says
Kath,
I made a yummy dinner and I thought of you when I sat down to eat it!
I chopped a head of cabbage, tossed with a little olive oil and roasted for 20min at 500 deg. I removed from the oven and tossed with goat cheese(!!), grape tomatoes, fresh cracked pepper, and hot sauce(Cholula chili garlic). The goat cheese made it so creamy and delicious.
I thought of you because you love goat cheese and you roast veggies a lot. I think this is a great clean eating type recipe, filling and low cal too!
Pam 🙂
Michelle Hisae says
1. You guys are like food triplets. Haha.
2. That sandwich looks so simple, yet so delish.
3. What a great idea for a dip!
Heather says
That looks delish!! I had a very similar lunch… veges and kashi crackers with hummus for dipping as well as some peach flavored yogurt. Guess it was just that kind of day! 😀
Good luck on the studying!
Katharina says
I tried your idea for tempeh + pumpkin butter sandwich today. Except I grilled it with some camembert cheese. It was so delicious!!! You should try it some time.
Meaghen says
That lunch looks absolutely amazing!!!!
I will have to dry that dip idea.. sounds so good!
Oh She Glows says
You guys look adorable!
Did you know there is an abundance of psychology research that finds that we subconsciously like people who look like us?? Mates often seek out other mates that are similar in appearance too!
Jessica says
I want to eat that tempeh sandwich so, so badly!!! Too bad I have no pumpkin butter or tempeh! ha! Over summer I will have to make it though! 🙂
