The Baker got up extra early to bake off fresh rolls for breakfast for everyone with the pizza dough leftovers
I had mine topped with butter and jam. So doughy, so delicious.
A hard boiled egg for some protein. Eggs are a near perfect food!
Fruity
Two cups of joe
I prefer one-bowl breakfasts, but sometimes I really enjoy a "part of this complete breakfast" plate. All that’s missing are the cartoons!
We’re digesting, maybe going for a short walk/run, and taking the 12:30 ferry to Wilmington to have lunch with blog reader Holly. Justin and Amanda are arriving this evening!

they look so doughy and delicious! So lucky to have matt as your personal baker!!
I agree with you on the whole bowl thing, but every once in awhile a hodge podge is pretty perfect, especially when you have rolls fresh out of the oven! Can’t beat that!
ahh those freshly baked rolls look amazing !! a little butter goes a long way
What a sweet hubby to bake! I don’t think my husband would know what to do with flour or sugar.
those look fantastic — so doughy – my fave!
Have a wonderful afternoon
I wish I wasn’t the only baker in my family! Waking up to fresh buns would be absolutely delicious
Enjoy your day!!
OH. MY. GOODNESS! Those look AMAZING! If Matt wants to move into my apartment and become my baker, that would be 100% okay with me. Haha.
Have a great day Kath!
So nice that you have a built-in baker.
Love homemade bread.
I loveee doughy bread
Enjoy your day!
I’m loving the holiday bokeh behind the frutition bar!!
Oops, I meant that for your other post!
What an aesthetically pleasing breakfast! The rolls look very good!
Yum, your breakfast looks great!
Have a fun blogger meet up!
Mmmm breaky looks delish!
Did matt the baker baker those?!
Jenna
Ooooo, what I wouldn’t give to wake up to some fresh, homemade rolls! You’ve got it made!
The breakfast looks fantastic. I wish I had someone who would wake up early and fix me some hot buns:)
That looks like the perfect breakfast!
There’s nothing better than waking up to fresh rolls
What a perfect way to use up those leftovers from the pizza! Such a pretty spread.
Yummmm! I wish I had a baker like that in my house who would wake up early to make me buns
=) Love the breakfast! Looks like an all American meal!
Enjoy your day!!!
The rolls look amazing!
sounds like a fun day ahead
fresh rolls are the best! I got some sourdough starter from my father in law – so excited about it! We made sourdough pancakes, biscuits, and bread last weekend and they were all amazing.
your hub’s the best.
That looks like something you’d wake up to in a bed & breakfast! Yummy
Jenn
the pizza dough’s a great idea. i feel healthy just looking at these pictures.
i really enjoy your site! keep it up!
Those rolls look wonderful. I’m so jealous of your vacation!
Those rolls look delicious! Those are my two fav toppings on homemade rolls too! Slightly jealous over here.
zest
Kath, I admire you so much. You have such a great zest for life I think…wish I could sit down and talk to you !
Have a sweet day.
Aw thanks
Hope we can meet and chat someday!
I love fresh rolls! Your husband is so nice
This is seriously the most perfect looking breakfast ever; I could eat that exact plate every single morning!
hi kath-
If you do, PLEASE make sure you hit up Feast (a gourmet grocery store/cafe- their sandwiches are to die for and they use the best ingredients) and Bikram Yoga Charlottesville!
Your vacation looks fabulous! Up here in DC it has been waay too cold and snowy for outdoor runs, I’m beginning to feel like a hamster with all the treadmill time I’m logging.
Two questions:
1) When you and Matt move to Charlottesville, i assume he’ll be opening a bakery there? Do you know where it will be located exactly?
2) Do you have any upcoming trips to Cville planned? I’m returning next week to start my final semester at UVA
thanks!
stephanie
Stephanie,
No idea where the bakery will be yet. We’re going to start looking for locations after the new year, which will probably include a visit. I might not be able to make it with my work schedule, but Matt will be up for sure. I’m hoping to go too if I can squeeze it in!
I love how colorful your breakfast looks! Berries are delicious and the buns look so perfect!
LOL at part of this complete breakfast!
What a fantastic breakfast! I’d love some of those rolls really any time of day
Eggs are such a great way to squeeze in some protein, too!
that is pretty much my ideal breakfast. I love my oats, but I feel so brittish when I eat a biscuit, roll or crumpet with a hard/soft boiled egg. Light but nourishing…. looove it!
Lovely breakfast!
Fresh rolls with jam is about as good as it gets!
I like a full plate. Makes me feel full!
Those rolls look like PERfection!
Rolls from leftover pizza dough is a genius idea! Have a great day!
Full plate breakfasts are fun for a change sometimes.
Mmm I wish I lived with a baker! Those rolls looks so good even through the screen
Holy moly, those rolls looks AMAZING! I need to marry a baker.
Fresh baked bread is one of the greatest things ever.
Hope you had a great time in Wilmington – I grew up and live in ILM, it is a fun town (but definitely a little cold today)!
Those berries look scrumptious! How nice of your hubby to bake some bread for you all – hot outta da oven is the best!
Now you’ve got me craving warm bread with butter and jelly. Good thing I’m making hot corn bread tonight that I can slather up!
Amazing run!!!
*sigh*
I am forever jealous that you married that baker. You are set with bread for life.
Totally awesome.
What a yummy looking breakfast! I love those kinds with family and friends over.
Those buns look amazing!! The Baker is very talented. Have a fun run!
Wow. You are lucky to have someone to make you fresh bread before you even get up in the morning!! I am jealous. The smell alone would be enough to get me up and out of bed!
why have you only been posting twice a day for like the past week?? just wondering because i am a faithful reader and have been missing the 3 a day posts! I understand you are probably busy though!!!
‘Cause I’ve been on vacation!! 2 a day is a lot more manageable when I’m not at a desk all day.
Whenever I don’t have oats for breakfast I kind of feel disappointed afterward. Kind of like I am cheating on my good old favorite:) Cooking Light has a little blurb on oats and toppings this month that you will have to read!
Enjoy the vacation, or rather, continue to enjoy!
breakfast rolls…Lucky! Breakfast looks perfect!
Great looking breakfast! I love playing with leftover pizza dough. I made cinnamon rolls a couple of weeks ago with the leftover dough in the fridge! So easy and so good! Have fun with your friends!
Kath,
Do you feel it’s easier for you to run such long (in my opinon) distances because you played soccer? Or when you started, did you have to spend more time to build yourself up? And if you did, about how long did it take for the running to start getting easy? Thank you!
P.S.
Love your blog! Read every day!
April,
I am of the mind-set (ironically) that running is mostly mental. I knew I’d have no problem jumping from 5 to 6 miles before I even did it. Or 6 to 7. And I started the same way with 3-4 and 4-5. You can go out there and run as far as you want if you wanted to (although your body might not be primed and ready to handle it without injury long-term). So just know you can do it. There’s no shame in stopping to walk some if that helps.
The plate looks delicious! and is a much healthier “part of this complete breakfast” than …say Lucky Charms. haha Those buns … (okay, I’m five and just giggled a little )… look phenomenal!!
Kath, you and your husband win the “Best leftover users of 2009″ award! You inspire others to think past wasting leftover dinners, fruits, veggies, and even dough to creat new experiences. Wonderful!
Ha – thanks!
Those rolls look crusty and yummy!
Hope you’re having fun.
Happy Day,
Katie

Gorgeous breakfast you’ve got there!
From far away, I thought those hot cross buns were russet potatoes!
)
Your breakfast looks quite elegant. I just had breakfast, but your pictures are making me hungry again
This breakfast looks absolutely amazing! This would be my perfect breakfast! That fruit looks perfect. I wish fruit was good up here all year round. It’s all gross in the store.
Oh, my goodness…you are reading “The Shell Seekers” by Rosamunde Pilcher. It is by far one of the best books I’ve ever read. Enjoy!
