Ah yes, buttercups, one of my favourite snacks. I have to say though, I find daisies far more filling :p
Congrats on your first note!!

Your sandwich reminds me of a hat in that first photo! And now I have that Buttercup song in my head, but there are worse things… “build me up, buttercup…”
Diana says
That sandwich looks great and I’m so curious about those Siggi’s yogurts!!
Have a good afternoon 🙂
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
Mmmm…love figs!! Sounds like you’re having a great, busy day!
Chloe (Naturally Frugal) says
I can’t wait for it to be sunny here! Also, I wanted to say thank you for turning me on to the podcast “Dishing up Nutrition”. I love it and those ladies always have such great advice that they present in ways anyone can understand. It’s a great show!
Kath says
Glad you like it! I woudn’t take everything they say too literally – they hate bread and love meat!
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
I love hearty sandwiches. And chia seeds! Ever since reading “Born to Run” I’ve been obsessed with ch-ch-chias.
Beth @ Beth's Journey to Thin says
Mmm i LOVE arugula! Sounds like a delicious lunch! What type of board is that that you always have lunch on?
Kath says
I’m not sure but we got it at a market in Asheville
Deva (Voracious Vorilee) says
Your lunch looks amazingly flavorful and colorful, and full of nutrients 🙂 I’ve been inspired by your packed lunches and have been enjoying nutrient-rich lunches full of a variety of fruits, veggies, and flavor!
shawna says
haha, that’s a dandelion, silly!!!
Jenny says
Gotta love siggis ! Such a treat for me:)
Ginna says
Was wondering where you get your chia seeds? Do you order them online or get them at the grocery store?
Kath says
At my Open Sky shop:

Kath says
Fun!! Look for Flax Oat Bran – it’s the best!
Cassie @ A Very Busy Mind says
I’ve probably left this comment before (because I know I always say it in my head), but…
Your posts always make me want BREAD! Geez Great Harvest bread always looks exceptionally good!
Mama Pea says
I wish Alliebars grew in my yard. Actually, I wish anything but dog tumors grew in my yard. (That’s just gross, this is a food blog…)

Sounds like another great day! I think it’s so neat how you’re getting to experience so many different aspects of nutrition!
julia says
Aw,so glad you’re having fun and enjoying the sunshine! Yay spring!
That pistachio dip looks amazing. Did you post the recipe? I’m gonna hunt for it now. 🙂
however…..i believe that is a dandelion! same difference though. lol
i love your blog, i can’t remember if i’ve commented before or not, I know I’ve been lurking for a while!
happy spring! 🙂
Janet (Pantry Bites) says
It looks like spring is in full bloom. Here in New Zealand, we’re seeing the opposite changes in season. Winter is coming very soon.
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
Hehe love the flower. I loved those flowers as a kid and completely hated life when my mom told me they were weeds! ugh.
Marina says
I always admire your sandwich creations.
Congrats on your first note 😉
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
Your bread always look delicious and makes me want to look for a Great Harvest Bread Co somewhere just for the trip.
Jessica @ The Process of Healing says
Delicious sounding lunch you have!!! I LOVE pistachios so I really need to make that dip!
Christine says
Ha! Love the granola bar in the bush 🙂 I’m totally loving the Siggi’s yogurt too . . . so rich and creamy!
Brooke says
You wrote your first note about a tube feeder?! Awesome! They didn’t let me do that for a few months.
KC says
Pistachio bean dip sounds like it would be tasty! Kind of similar to hummus? Do you have the recipe for it?
Kath says
Recipe is in the Easter post’s comments
Food Makes Fun Fuel says
Siggi’s sound so delicious! I hope it goes on sale soon near me
Eileen says
Uh, that’s a dandilion! Not a buttercup…but the leaes taste good in a salad!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
i just got a bunch of coupons for siggis can’t wait to try them!
Lindsey says
I misread your post to say, “lunch at noon THROUGH the nose” instead of on the nose (since you’d been talking about tube feeding)! LOL!!
Kath says
Hahah
Stacey@http://stacey-healthylife.blogspot.com/ says
I love the idea of adding chia seeds to the yogurt.
Leah says
I am really interested in homemade granola bars, but I couldn’t find a recipe for the “alliebars” on her blog… Maybe I’m just blind or is it a bloggers’ secret? : )
Kath says
I think she’s still tweaking the recipe, but leave her a comment to find out!
Sarah (OC2Seattle) says
I went to an RD today who told me in no uncertain terms that I have to eat more veggies – so I am using you as my model. So impressed by how you so effortlessly (or so it appears) work veggies into your meals.
Kath says
🙂
Christy says
Ahhh, ADIME’s… good stuff 🙂
Liz, RD says
Yay for tube feedings and note writing! 🙂
joceline says
I am such a lurker but had to say: look to the left of the dandelion in your last photo–that is a four-leaved clover! hope you had a lucky day!
Kath says
Which one!? I can’t tell and I’ve never found one before!!
andrea says
congrats on your first note! is it terribly dorky of me to actually understand the orders? :p I love working in healthcare!
I’ve been lurking for a year or so now, but wanted to de-lurk to thank you for being a huge motivation for me! I’ve finally started my own blog and am ready to get healthier.
Kath says
Thanks Andrea! Good luck on your blog
Martha says
Skyr is amazing. Ate it every day in Iceland. Where do they sell it here?
