That’s all we got!
Still very very fun!!
Also very fun? A new bread product!
Before Matt became a baker, I used to LOVE shopping for bread products. Tortillas, pitas, buns, loaves. Some of my favorites were Ezekiel brands, Sami’s Bakery and Food For Life brand [I think! It’s been a looong time.] Once Matt started baking at home, and even more so when we had DA-licious Great Harvest bread as a job perk, I decided bread was an area where we should save money. I hadn’t bought non-GH bread in years until this fall. Lately, some products have been sneaking into my car.
One item I do miss: English muffins! I found these local, home-baked muffins by The Bread Basket in Howardsville, VA. After giving them a squeeze, I knew they were my kinda chew. They were oh-so-good!
One half was topped with warm pumpkin, pumpkin butter and walnuts
The other with almond butter and banana
Both received a dollop of drunken whipped cream!
A chef’s snack was assembled with the leftover pumpkin – and a side of Ambrosial crunch
I’m actually headed back to the kitchen for a few cooking projects this morning!!
Homemade almond butter…Take I.

Wow, we didn’t even get a dusting of snow up here in DC. I’m ready for some powder!
We got a little snow in Asheville, too. Time to go skiing!
I think the South has gotten more snow than the North this year…all I’ve seen were a few flurries on Thanksgiving!! Hope you have a wonderful Sunday.
Those English muffins look scrumptious! I’m with you–I’m all about the chew!
I love English muffins too! We get some every week.
I’m sorry you only got a dusting – we got 4+ inches yesterday!
You should live in Hillsborough, North Carolina. We got an inch and a half1
I wish it would snow here! Good luck with the almond butter
Pretty pics… and I want your breakfast!
Yum! Everyone’s making pancakes today
They aren’t pancakes!!
Please share the pumpkin butter recipe. If you already have…..point it in my direction.

Or do you mean what was on my breakfast? That was Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Butter
That was perfect!!!!! Thank you.
Those English Muffins look delicious!!
We got zero snow in DC
I thought we’d at least get a dusting.
Have a great day!
so pretty! gotta love a light dusting like that
good luck with almond butter!
the snow looks so pretty! love the first snow of the season:-)
Hey, snow is snow! It still looks beautiful and magical
We got some about 2 weeks ago and I miss it
Wrong post to be commenting on but I am fascinated by this Pero stuff you have been drinking recently. Must pick some up to try for myself.
You got more snow than we did (nothing stuck!)
Yum! I love english muffins. Good luck with your almond butter
Your little bit of snow is pretty, but I must say that breakfast is prettier. Have a great day!
We may get snow flurries today – I hope we get about as much as you did. That amount makes it look pretty out.
I bought the Ezekiel english muffins last week – I love them!
I do love raisin English muffins they are so soft and chewy.
You’ve got more snow so far this year than we do here in SE Iowa! It snowed for the first time yesterday, but just a light dusting. All gone this morning….
I found what looks to be a promising recipe for English muffins in the “Cafe Brenda” cookbook – I am going to make them this afternoon.
The bread seller was my favorite booth at our local farmer’s market! They made the best breads, with all kinds of flavors.
I’m still waiting for snow here in St. Louis
I feel like we’re the only area that didn’t get any this weekend!
English muffins with warm pumpkin=genius! I do this with pancakes all of the time, but never thought to go the muffin route.
Love the ‘powdered sugar’ photos! How fun
I bet Matt could figure out how to make these!
A little dusting is always pretty, I love the first snow. We’re not supposed to get any in Boston for another week so this bitter cold weather is just a waste in my mind. Breakfast looks delish!
It’s still very pretty! It’s just REALLY cold & grey here. No snow
Lucky! I was hoping for a tiny dusting, but all we got was drizzle and wind.
That’s more snow than we will get here in Florida. Is it sad that I’m jealous.
Breakfast looks amazing.
cant wait for the homemade almond butter
hopefully some of your snow comes up here, i’m anxiously awaiting for snow!!
The light snow pictures look so pretty! They definitely remind me of powdered sugar and baking. Perfect for a Sunday! And that English muffin looks an awful lot like pancakes. Yum!
Weird how I live in Kansas and we haven’t even gotten snow (or powdered sugar) yet!
I too am spending some much needed time in my kitchen today cooking all kinds of stuff!
I love waking up to snow!
It has snowed here almost everyday this week, and there’s more coming down right now!
I’m so jealous of the festive snow you received! I wish that L.A. would get some completely random, unseasonal winter weather.
It’s so funny to see your snow pics when we’re further north and haven’t had any yet! To be honest, I’m glad it’s you and not me
I made your oatmeal pancake this morning after a good, long run and I was nervous for it to turn out, but my arms shot up in victory when I shook the pan and the pancake scooted across the bottom!! It was delicious, thanks for the recipe!!!
: )
Just saw in your other post about your sis and her Matt moving to Durham! Fun… another reason for you to come visit and play
We got more snow than you yesterday! But it’s already all melted, boo.
English muffins are one of the best types of breads…at least for breadfast!! Good luck on your almond butter.
oh wow….all that looks amazing!!!!!
What’s drunken whipped cream? And did you make it too?
Nothing better than a good slice of bread! And some of your homemade almond butter on top!
See last night’s dinner post!
We got about 5-6 inches of snow this weekend if you want any of ours
Hi Kath,
You have a gift for making real food look so good I couldn’t imagine wanting junk food after looking at your photos. Hope it lasts…
Val
Can’t wait to see how the homemade nut butter turns out! I just made my own for the first time too, and it’s amazing!
that looks soooo delicious!
haha….but with those toppings on yours, I’d have to say that is the #1 yummiest English muffin i’ve ever seen =)
I personally think cinnamon raisin English muffins may be the yummiest bread item ever created, hmmm (maybe)
xx
eliza
oooh looks tasty. where did you find these in cville?

The first time I ever read you blog was on a snowy day in January. This post reminds me of that day!
It’s definitely no surprise that I am drooling over your breakfast. It looks.so.good. My favorite bread is When Pigs Fly. It’s a local company that started in Maine and has moved down to MA. They make an amazing chocolate bread that makes delicious french toast.
Looks AMAZING Kath– you’re making me hungry just reading about this
Love warm pumpkin, too, with coconut milk preferably.
Kath,
I’m curious to know how you feel about sprouted breads ( like Ezekiel) versus traditional flour bread, nutritionally and other sentiments…
I think they are good, but I think traditional bread is good too.
I don’t know of any scientific studies that put one on top of the other nutritionally.
That looks SOOO good. My mouth is watering!
