We have WAY too much bread in this house! Despite giving away the equv. of a loaf this week, we have at least 6 half loaves and random leftover slices and the husband just brought home 2 pumpkin “scuffins” (kind of like a muffin/scone) and a blondie. I told him he’s not allowed to bring home sweets anymore, or if he does he can’t let me know they’re here!! Thankfully I did not dig in and had a healthy blondie-free lunch. Guess I’m getting used to them 
Undercooked (and therefore unsellable but delectable for my love-of-dough palate) pumpkin scuffins –
Blondie
2 more loaves –
We enjoyed a nice lunch together, though, and caught up on yesterday’s happenings. We spontaneously made a frittata with the leftover pizza veggies (shrooms + pepper) and put it on a sandwich with some mustard and romaine. The frittata covered both pieces of bread, so I kind of disassembled and ate it all with a fork.
And we split a big orange –
Plus carrots –
I’m headed out on a quick walk to study Nutrition in the Lifespan, then to GOTR (we’re running for 30 minutes straight today!), then to Micro (blah).

Great lookin lunch Kath, I am a big fan of the blondies and could go for one right now
Have a great afternoon!
zesty
Disassembled sammies are the best. They take twice as long to eat!
Oh Kath, I remember the day hub would bring home “goof-ups” of bread… warm, sometimes underdone *yummmmm loaves of bread. We were poor so we ate tons of pb and honey on that bread. CARB HEAVEN… I think I was still a runner then, thank goodness!
Enjoy it! xoxo
that frittata looks excellent! I by far prefer to eat sammies open-faced- not only does it take longer and you can enjoy it more, i like seeing the filling and then i don’t end up smooshing it All over me! Haha.
I’ve never heard of the term ‘scuffin’ but want to use it in conversation all the time now… might have to be my word of the day
I am a bread whore – love all types, so if you want to mail me some, that would be sweet!
Those scuffins look tasty! And the blondie. And the bread. And the rest!
Hope all goes well with GOTR! And at Micro
Underdone cookies are FAR superior to ones that are fully cooked!!!!
I do love undercooked cookies, but I think undercooked blondies are the best thing in this world. I just had one the other day too =)
Are you able to freeze fresh bread like that? I never know…
Hi Kath!
that lunch looks soooo-oo amazing
In terms of carb overload, I was thinking you could…
1. freeze the bread?
2. this may not go over well, but you could have healthy bread for breakfast some days instead of healthy oatmeal?…the bread is free!
3. eat bread instead of kashis…bread is healthier, right?
loove this blog

I have the opposite problem… NO MORE BREAD! So those photos are making me drool. a lot. I want a blondie too, yum!
I’m glad you got to eat lunch together
eeek i was afraid you would say you just cleaned when things looked dirty! i see the flors dirty for 3 days before i get to them! gaaaa!
have a fabulous afternoon!
Maybe you could do a bread giveaway contest? I don’t have a GH by me and I know I’d love to get my hands on some!
Yum to open-faced sandwiches (which I usually end up eating with a fork). That fritatta sounds delicious as do the scuffins! I also like saying that – scuffins… hehe
Yummmmm!!
Seriously, a fan giveaway is in order. I never buy fresh-baked bread b/c of the expense and my carb-phobia, but I would break it for free bread!
I LOVE fresh bread!! You need to freeze some of the goodness!
I’m a relative newcomer to your blog although I have stopped by a few times in the past, and I just wanted to say that I’m having a great time catching up on your FAQs and other past posts. I don’t know how you manage such a thorough blog what with classes and making that yummy oatmeal, but I’m so impressed
.
I freeze bread that I get from Costco since it comes with 2 loaves. I don’t think my freezer changes the consistency too much that I notice. It get so hot here in the summer I have to keep my bread in the fridge anyways or it will go bad fast!
SCUFFINS!! BLONDIES!!! EVERYTHING!!!
fritattatas! I’d like to see more of those
)
those scuffins looks sooooo good-send em to philly they’re welcome here !!!
So many goodies!!!!!
I worked at a pizza place in college, and they would always send us home with the mess ups. After a while I started giving my pizzas to the homeless. No temptation for me, and a bunch of thrilled people at the shelter.
Scuffins is the cutest word. They sound delicious, especially in that they are undercooked!
I hope you you don’t think I’m a nerd for saying this, but I’ve been meaning to tell you I LOVE your house (from what I’ve seen in pictures)! I love the white trim, with hardwood floors, and BEAUTIFUL paint. Did you guys build or buy that house? If you bought it, it looks very new
I’m jealous…someday…haha
Wow, I dont know how you survive with all those savoury carbs lying around. I’d have to banish them from the house altogether!
Like the sandwich. It reminds me of a Philly on bread. New to the site, but love all the photos. I had to recently tell my hubby to stop offering to buy me chocolate when I’m having a bad day. Old habits die hard, and they die even harder when they become the husbands habit too. Luckily he’s already noticed a huge difference in me, visually (of coarse), emotionally, and energetically.
i wish my non-existant husband worked at a bakery and brought me home free baked goods. jealous.
i LOVE great harvest bread but it’s hard to finish it off! i got dakota (my fav) & cinnamon chip a couple of weeks ago and we still have about 4 slices of the cinn. chip left, which no one seems to be touching!
btw, kath– i was reading today in fitness magazine while i was on the elliptical & i saw an interesting fact: 1/2 tsp of cinnamon has the same # antioxidants as 1/2 cup of raspberries or strawberries!
Hi Kath! Your lunch looks great … so nice that you and your hubby got to spend it together!
Wow … how could you resist those fabulous looking sweets?!
What yummy bread treats!!
i admire you for your self control. where did you get it and can i get some, too? haha i would’ve downed that blondie in a heartbeat!
scuffins! cute name, and they look delicious!
Hmmm, a new “Bread contest” would take care of those extra yummy loaves – just kidding!!
Looks like you and the hubby had a wonderful lunch to catch up!
I love the eggs, and I am in awe that you passed up the sweets. That’s a lot of will power!
Pumpkin scuffins sound like a delicious mess up! I would buy one.
Mmmm, lunch looks great!
Those scuffins look good. I love a little undercooked versions of baked goods.
Good for you for resisting! It all look wayyy tooo good!
*I posted this message in the previous post, but wasn’t sure if you would see it, so I’m posting it here too*
KT,
I’m a Nutrition/Dietetics student and am actually in Advanced Vitamins/Minerals class right now. Iron absorption is inhibited by polyphenols, such as tannins that are found in tea & coffee. In addition, iron absorption is also inhibited by oxalic acid (found in dark green leafy veggies), phytates, and certain other minerals. Hope this helps!
Scuffins!! I want one
Scuffins look unholy good.
I work in the same shopping center as a Great Harvest. It smells SO good. Luckily, I’m gluten free so I can’t be tempted daily!!
Bread Contest it is – but I might have to wait a few weeks until things slow down around here
Liz Turtle,
Welcome!!
Allison ,
And our backyard is great. Thanks for the comment!
I promise it’s not that fancy or nice!! It was built in the 1980s and is rather dated in places. There are crooked walls too. And popcorn ceilings, which I didn’t notice until after we moved in but don’t bother me at all. And we have no master bathroom. BUT, it is charming in spots and suits us well
Laura ,
Thanks for your expertise!
Kath
Feel free to send some bread my way.
So funny you posted this b/c I JUST made this deliciously yummy bread last night and was thinking that the bread queen, Kath, would be proud. lol!
