This always seem a little slow moving on Mondays.
Or perhaps everything but me is fast moving and I feel pressure to catch up!
I’m already running late getting my day started, but I have this french toast to blame:
French toast on High Five bread and Cinnamon Chip bread (a half slice of each) seared with coconut and flax. Plus grilled banana!! And the opening of a new jar of TJ’s Sunflower Butter – the nut butter of all nut butters!! Er, SEED butter!!!
Chai tea
The sun seems to be slow to get up this morning too!

Goooood Monday morning, Kath!
Mmm sunflower seed butta is a fave of mine
Enjoy the sunshine!
I am totally slow motion on mondays as well I hope your day picks up breakfast looks lovely!
ha! i’m eating oats for the first time in a really long time and i came to see what you put in yours today! it’s ok, i’ll be checkin out your tribute to oats soon!
also, do you ever eat steel cut oats? it’s my first time, and i have to say i think i like old-fashioned oats much better. is there a nutritional difference in steel cut maybe??
I had steel cut a few weeks ago and they reminded me for about the 10th time that i think old fashioned are way better
i think steel cut tasted like grape nuts heated up and mushy! i tried, but i’m goin back to the old fashioned stuff:)
I think the Sun forgot about us today too
Hopefully it shows up sometime soon.
Love the french toast — I bet the cinnamon chip tastes amazing that way!
I’m having a slow-motion Monday morning as well. Ugh.
The first of the fresh local strawberries on my yogurt bowl this morning helped a bit, though.
And hey, it’s a three day week for me this week… so that is something to look forward to!
Have a great day!!

This looks delish!! I just made some oats and felt compelled to watch your oat video – let’s just say, you make good oats!!
Goodness it’s been too long since I’ve had French toast. Yours looks so lovely dressed in coconut and sunflower butter
I agree…Trader Joe’s Sunflower Seed Butter is the best!
I debated about buying some last time I was at TJ’s. Now I’m sold!
I am moving in slow-mo too! Also, klutz-mo – I was stocking the office kitchen and dropped a WHOLE BOX of wooden coffee stirrers into the sink. Boo! Hahah…
Looks delicious! I am so glad is is finally strawberry season.
You don’t put milk in your chai?
We’re out of milk!
Have a great morning! I almost licked my screen when I saw that french toast. It looks so yummy!
I’m having chai tea too today!
I was a bit slow moving too this morning. I was loving my bed inside. Not loving the snow too much outside. Yeah, snow. In April.
Your breakfast looks so good!
I am super slow today! I feel like I got nothing accomplished over the weekend and now I have to play catch up. I wish I had an extra day off every once in a while.
It’s been forever since I’ve had TJ’s sunflower seed butter – gotta get my hands on that again!
I love french toast – we had it yesterday for breakfast.
I wish we had a GH near us – I would love to try all those breads!
Perfect breakfast! I am definitely moving slower than normal…hopefully the sunshine with spark a little more energy!
Perfect breakfast! Love that sunflower seed butter!
I tend to be really productive on my Monday mornings – it’s the only weekday morning I don’t have class or work so I like to get things done!
I had toast with pb and nanners today too! Yummy! Have a good one! Where can I get the awesome bread btw??
Why Great Harvest, of course!
Happy Monday! I bet the French toast was worth the slow start
Looks delicious with the strawbs!
Sunflower seed butter… yummmm! Melts so nicely!
TJ’s sunflower butter is my faaaaaavorite. It’s like dessert!
I’ve got a slow moving monday morning too, you’re not the only one!
That french toast breakfast makes a monday morning better though i’m sure
That breakfast looks phenomenal!!! You’re making me hungry already lol! I hope you have a great day Kath – looks like it’s off to a very good start so far.
Hmmm… I think I need to purchase some sunflower butter this week. I’ve never tried it and you’re really making me crave it!
PS. Random question, but do you actually have a favorite nut/seed butter? Just wondering
Yes – this is it!!!!
For a breakfast like that, I wouldn’t mind running late!
French toast is so good, and easy to make! The nut butter probably makes the french toast.
I like your placemats and tablecloths!

That bread looks so hearty! Still haven’t tried sunflower seed butter…
If Mondays have to come, at least they can bring french toast with them! Yum.
That french toast looks amazing!
Mmm, grilled banana…
mmmm, SEED butter!
I agree about TJ’s sunbutter, it’s good. It also compliments raw carrots very well, something other nut butters doesn’t.
I have been snacking on carrot sticks and sunbutter a lot.
I’d say that breakfast is certainly worth being late for!
Could that french toast look any more delicious!? Wow! Your pictures always amaze me (and make me a little jealous)!
Aren’t strawberries delish right now? I just stocked up yesterday but I have devoured half the container already.
No judgement here, says the girl who’s still sitting in her pj’s. I’ll get dressed eventually…
TJ’s Sunflower Butter is the best tasting nut butter of all time. I don’t know what it is about it. The saltiness, the sweet kick, the creamy-runniness..just so delicious. Although the chunky PB with Flaxseeds from TJ’s is damn good, too.
Moving slow is almost a requirement for Monday mornings. Breakfast looks yum, though.
French toast and GH cinnamon chip bread sound like a match made in heaven!
Sunflower butter really is the best! The French toast looks amazing!!
I’m having a slow moving Monday too.. Motivation for productivity is seriously lacking today.
Your french toast looks amazing though! The closest Great Harvest to me is in Kansas City I think. The next time I go there I will have to make a stop in and grab some cinnamon chip bread. I hear great things!
That french toast looks like it is a perfectly worthy reason of running late!
I’d have to agree….SUNFLOWER SEED BUTTER is the BEST! I’ve never had Tj’s brand though…..Maranatha’s is really good!
“This always seem a little slow moving on Mondays.” – I totally agree ! I’m still trying to wake up ;P
I don’t know how you do it Kath, but you make peanut butter look DANGEROUSLY good. I’m seriously drooling (like usual) at the sight of your food photography. Have a good Monday!
It must be karma for calling you obsessed with me for dreaming about me, but I had a dream about you last night! We were rooming together on a trip, along with Ashley, and you had seriously about 20 loaves of Great Harvest bread in our room. IT WAS AWESOME. See you in my dreams again tonight
(okay, that’s just creepy…)
Wheee!
I loooovvveee french toast!!! Great idea for a Monday
and good excuse for running behind!
The bread makes this breakfast amazing! I really think the bread looks and sounds amazing ; )
No sun here today, gloomy monday : p
I always pop out of bed on Monday mornings!
I wish Mondays were slow for me but it’s one of my busiest days of the week. It’s a little rough getting thrown right into it after the weekend!
We just went to the Great Harvest in Newton for the first time, we bought Cinammon Chip, High Five and Bruschetta, so good didn’t know which to eat first
Don’t worry, that french toast would’ve put me off on a slow start, too. It looks AMAZING.
Yum– I love your version of french toast? No egg involved, though?
Did you sear in coconut oil or just shredded coconut? Looks delish, whatever you did 
have a good day!
Yeah, there was egg! That was assumed when I wrote “French toast”
Sometimes your replies can be a little curt Kath, maybe something to watch. Readers and commenters are your bread and butter.
My response was written completely lightheartedly. Sorry if it was not read that way!
Hence the big smiley face at the end, right?
Enjoy reading, but I completely agree with this comment.
French toast on cinnamon chip bread? Count me in!
Hey Kath! What is your favorite GH Whole Wheat bread?
Flax Oat Bran!! Or High Five. Both are excellent!
This looks like the perfect breakfast- definitely worth some extra time in the morning!! Especially with chai tea, my favorite. Speaking of breakfast, I made your dough boy smoothie today! It was so tasty
Have you ever had Sunbutter? How does the TJ’s sunflower seed butter compare to it?
I have not ever tried it..
Now I know what to have for breakfast tomorrow
TJ’s Sunflower Seed Butter is my newest fav! My paring of the week has been on pears! (pardon the pun!)
Just beautiful! You always know how to start your day off right
Hey, it seems to me that you don’t incorporate carbs in your meal (lunh or dinner) sometimes, are there any tips how you chase hunger away?
I don’t think that’s accurate at all! I have carbs with every meal…
