Good eats tonight!!
We started the evening with some cocktails (mostly to numb my horrible aching coffee head!). I had a mini Manhattan made from the drips of Matt’s. Mmmm!! He really does make a great drink. See the first in his “Old Man Drink” series over at Brew and Bake.
Of course, I spoiled my appetite tonight. I must be insane because everyday I always think it won’t happen, but it always does!
I am so lucky getting so many great products to sample! These four scrumptious cereals came in the mail. I cracked open the Sunflower Agave Plus Granola this afternoon and boy it is good! It’s got a nice nuttiness that reminds me of peanut butter from the sunflower seeds and is slightly sweet and super crispy from puffed brown rice pieces and oats.
This bowl was a base of 3 giant strawberries with about 1/2 a cup of soy milk (heated) and about 1/3 cup AgavePlus. Mmm!
This succulent burger wins top 5 of the past year. It was from the last piece of our frozen grass-fed tenderloin. We He ground it himself with our KitchenAid meat grinder! We’ve got a little leftover, so not sure how we’ll use that up.
I topped mine with ketchup, mustard, pickle and avocado.
On the side: Kelsey’s Blue Cheese Slaw. OMG – so good!!!! You know how cake is just a means to serve icing? This slaw is just a means to serve blue cheese! I doubled the recipe and used heaping tbsp of blue cheese and olive oil mayo. I could have eaten double this portion!
And there’s one more little pickle on the side there! I think I kind of overate today. I just feel really full and like I didn’t listen to my hunger and satiety cues very well. The only meal I ate today that I was truly hungry for was my cereal snack, and that’s because I’m always hungry at 5:00! New project for tomorrow, I suppose 
As for me, I’m going to get the house in order and then stay up to watch the newest Office! It’s a rare occasion that I don’t have to get up on Friday morning for Food Lab, so we’re celebrating by watching live.

As I sit here it is 10:18 ATL Time and I am starving but I told myself to suck it up and not eat before bed…. that burger looks amazing and WOW – i would lick my screen… Kath – that is wicked!
You are so lucky to have received those cereals in the mail! I am intrigued by the agave one.
Fabulous burger.
Thanks for mentioning my giveaway!
I love Nature’s Path!!!!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3
Their PB granola is out of this world!!!!!
oh, cocktails
I can’t live without Nature’s Path Flax cereal – it’s so healthy and earthy. Just love it. That burger looks delicious, too.
I LOVE that granola! It’s one of my favorites…along with that Hemp Granola, I just re-stocked.
I love the Pumpkin Raisin Crunch cereal…very yum.
That burger looks delicious! I had a burger today too, but not as healthy as yours…
Oh wow, that burger looks scrumptious!
Nature’s Path granola and cereals are bomb. I have yet to be disappointed by one of them. I don’t even like burgers, but yours looks really wonderful! Have a great night and a good time somewhat sleeping in!
I love Nature’s Path! I wish we got all those good flavors and mixtures in Canada!
Terrific cereals!
I love the blue cheese slaw – what a great idea!!
Gotta love the Office… just watched it… toooo funny!!
Lovely dinner! I’m having a giveaway if you want to check it out
Oh great looking burger! There’s nothing like freshly ground, is there?
The bun looks amazing and picture perfect! I’m assuming the husband made it?
I love cabbage plain, but with blue cheese = even better!
I’m not a slaw fan, but I’m already dying to give my blue cheese a ride.
Delicious dinner and those cereals all look yummy! Can’t wait to hear how they taste!
Dinner looks fantastic!
Enjoy your night + morning off!
You will LOVE the Hemp Plus. We are huge fans of it here.
I have been craving homemade coleslaw. I think I’ll give Kelsey’s a try.
Nature’s Path has the best cereal of all time!! I have NEVER tried one that I didnt like and I dont think I ever will.
You should see if nature’s path will do a contest giveaway thingy!! That would be pretty awesome!
The cereal looks good!
Mmmm, I love burgers!
i’m not a huge beef eater, but that burger is gorgeous!
I do the same thing everyday too – spoil my appetite for dinner!
Kath I love all those CEREALS, they sent me a package and I forgot I still have one more in the cuboard!
Yummy burger. If only I could bite into something like a burger…looks so good!
OOh! So jealous of the Nature’s Path loot! Can’t wait to hear what you think of them!
Kath (or any iron gurus out there!),
I really need to get more iron in my diet, but am clueless as to what foods (except spinach, which I don’t like) are rich in iron. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks!!!
Yummy–looking burger by the way
That blue cheese slaw looks killer!!
Hell yes for ‘The Office’!!
Haha- I love the “Old Man Drink” concept!
What did you think of The Office? I thought this episode was just okay. Kelly’s secret admirer letter did crack me up…
Great idea to grind your own meat! Do you think it would work in a food processor, or would that result in over-grinding?
Natures Path is a great brand! Their granola is so good in yogurt! your dinner looks soooooooooooooo good!! yum! Kelsey is a genious… coleslaw and blue cheese!!!!??!! who would have thought!
Lauren (food+hands),
Yes, I forgot to say those were Dakota bread buns!
Organic Girl aka Ashley H,
I’ll check and see!
Alyssa ,
Do you eat meat? Red meat is the #1 way to get iron because the heme iron in meat is much easier absorbed than plant iron.
Heather ,
I didn’t get to watch it!! We were too sleepy. I will tonight though!
Kath
I love Nature’s Path. I am so jealous–that stuff is expensive!
I had a burger for dinner last night too! Well a veggie burger for me
I melted some blue cheese on top and it was sooo good. I’ll use any excuse to put it on something! Enjoy your weekend!
Just a head’s up- Megan’s Munchies has a virus on that contest link. I clicked on it & when I went to close out the window, a million IE windows starting popping up. I tried to close my browser to no avail. In the end I had to disable my modem to get everything under control.
Thanks for the head’s up Heather. I took it down. Was it on her end or my end, do you think?
K
I would think the problem is/was on her end as the issue started when I left her site, not when I clicked on the link from your site.
How do you get so lucky with all this stuff in the mail? It’s like you don’t have to grocery shop!
