We spent the morning going on an urban hike with Faith + Tate! It’s the perfect solution when you want to march around outdoors but don’t have the time or energy to drive to the mountaintops to do so. We hiked 4.25 miles around the historic district’s perfectly manicured streets and covered another 3 miles on our bikes going to and from F+T’s house. We’re going to miss them this week when they travel to New York for a wedding!
I got hungry earlier than normal today – was breakfast smaller? I dunno! When we got home at noon, Matt and I dug into lunch.
I took one of our special sunflower honey wheat buns and smothered it with Lavender Crunch Hummus and sharp cheddar broiled for a few minutes. There is really no sandwich experience quite like crunching through one of these buns!
Mmmmmmelty!
On the side – a big leafy salad with carrot, honey, olive oil, lavender salt, giant raisins ad walnuts
‘Twas delicious!
I am very disappointed in today’s weather, but headed back on my bike to run a few errands.
Come back sun! I dare you.
Tessa @ Amazing Asset says
Goodness that bread looks good, what a delightful looking lunch! 🙂
Natalia - a side of simple says
Mmm the crunch of that sandwich sounds great right about now 🙂 If we can’t have sunny weather, I’m at least going to enjoy some sunflower seeds!
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
I want one of those sandwiches now 🙂
Averie (LoveVeggiesandYoga) says
I love bread like that! Down here in Aruba which is a Dutch island, and the local pastries and breads are all handmade, they have bread like that..posted about it yesterday. It makes me want to say ba-bye to being GF 🙂
I hope the sun comes out for you too!!
Amanda (The Nutritionist Reviews) says
I am so jealous that you have good places to hike! I don’t even have sidewalks.

Can I also just say that your recent strawberry harvest posts inspired me to plant some fruits and veggies in my back yard! I wrote about it in my last post. I hope I can pick some berries for my breakfast right in my backyard soon, too! 😀

Do all great harvest breads do the buns? I’d love to get some…
KathEats says
Every Great Harvest is different
Lynda says
Yes, I would also love to get some of those buns! So I would have to ask at the Great Harvest in my area if they make those? I think they should 🙂 Your meals always look so delicious. Love your blog 🙂
staceyhealthylife says
Well at least you got in some fitness and were able to hang out with friends.
Namaste Gurl says
Mmmm. Kerf classic meal. Never a disappointment 🙂
Where do you get lavender salt from?
KathEats says
You can make it – Faith has a recipe on her blog

I made some last week, and it’s really easy. I’ve been using it as a salad topper, and love it.
Heather @ Get Healthy With Heather says

Urban hike. Love.
SquatLikeALady says
Looks like quite the successful Sunday to me!!
Cait @ Beyond Bananas says
It is sooo gloomy, misty, and gross here today. I wouldn’t even dare to go outside for a long period of time – with the fear of downpours and T-storms constantly lurking. A hike.. would have been awesome today!
Christine (The Raw Project) says
The bun looks wonderful, yum!
Hannah says
Lavender. Crunch. Hummus. Best.
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
That bun sandwich looks delicious! Seedy, grainy bread is the best.
Alyssa says
Your salads always look so fantastic!!! I need to start chopping veggies pronto!
Amy says
That lunch looks so good! Hummus + cheddar? Mmmm.
Char says
Wow, that bun looks SO good and so does the salad. I’ve never topped a salad with honey, but it’s an intriguing idea!
Kristi @ KristiAteIt says
That bread looks really good! I really need to get my hands on some Great Harvest.
Laura says
How/when do you and Matt sprinkle your sunflower seeds on top of the bread? I love to bake sunflower bread, it’s one of my faves. But if I put the seeds on top right before baking, they always burn. I’ve also tried sprinkling them on later in the baking process, but they don’t stick! Thoughts?
KathEats says
If they’re burning, I’m guessing the oven temp is too high. I can’t disclose the temp we bake them in though! We add the the seeds before baking begins.
Barbara(Blood, Sweat and Heels) says
Ok..you can be my chef anyday!
Sarah@The Flying ONION says
Mmm…the sandwich is delightful!
I hope the weather cooperated for your biking errands!!
Little Miss Fitness says
Looks like a perfect day…minus the clouds! 🙂
Melissa @ Journey to Marvelous says
Pretty flowers in the first picture!
Alaina says
The weather has been so fickle this month! I’m hoping the rest of the summer is just sunny and warm. 🙂
Jessica says
Hello! I was wondering what kind of bike you have. I was thinking of getting one for going to the grocery and biking around town which seems similar to how you use the bike. Any recommendations?
KathEats says
A Trek! I got it last fall – it’s great!
Kathy W. says
I lurve my Trek bike! Highly recommended.
Keely (Sky Blue) says
OK that bun looks incredible. Seriously? MMMM…
Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen says
I love the idea of calling it an “urban hike” – 🙂
Paulina (One Smile Ahead) says
Lavender crunch hummus sounds so good! I’ve never had homemade hummus but the idea’s awesome. I had a similar salad for dinner last night :] Big leafy salads are the best.
