Started my day by squashing a spider…!
Otherwise, good morning!!
When Matt walked in the door with a loaf of Cville Crunch last night, I made plans for toast for breakfast. Spiders not invited.
I layered Vermont Apple Butter (from a blog reader!), sunflower butter, banana and Biscoff on top of two toasted slices. Tasted good, yo.
On the side I made a vanilla tea latte – latte because I used extra milk for extra protein. Creamy!
It’s dark, dreary and rainy here, but it’s one of those times that I know sunshine is on the other end of the day, so it’s cool.
Bon voyage!

love the froth, now your part barista with that frother on hand!
I hate when people choose to “free” the spider vs killing it. I am paranoid that the little creature will find its way back to me only to freak me out again!
Hmmm definetly could go for a latte right now! Looks fab
I really need to take this as a sign and just get the dang frother already!!! I’ve been wanting frothy morning drinks, just keep putting it off.
Also
BISCOFF!!!!!!! Barb (Creativeculinary on twitter) has fallen in love with it, sings its praises often and thus has sent me on a hunt for it! I am waiting for it to get back in stock at my local store. I can’t wait to try it!!!!
And Spiders are not good!!! I’ve been bitten twice by Brown Recluses, and spent 2weeks in the hospital because of it!! They are no joke! I’m glad you squashed it!
Ugh– I ENDED my might last night by ordering my husband to kill a roach in our kitchen!!! The worst!!!
The trouble with spiders is that it takes me so long to work up the nerve to kill it, yet they move so quickly. I once just sucked one up with the vacuum – that thing was HUGE! *shudder*
I so wish we had a Great Harvest in this area….your bread always looks delicious!!!
Have a wonderful day!
i love apple butter!
a dreary day isn’t terrible every once in a while.. makes you thankful for the sunshin-y ones!
Yum! Your breakfast looks so fancy and delish!
Spiders are way scarier in the morning. The latte looks delish!
I had a visit from a large hairy spider in my bedroom a couple of nights ago and I thought of you. I wish I could tell you I took the high road and gently scooped him up and let him live the rest of his life outside but that is not what happened. Here’s to a spiderless day.
I love the green and blue colors of your napkins/placemats! Very pretty.
Frothy goodness along with sunflower seed butter…perfect start to the day.
I HATE spiders. They’re never invited around here!!
Love the colors for today’s post–blue/green
Oh no! Poor spidey
I think you are the only person that can make toast for breakfast look so fancy!
It’s dark, dreary and rainy here too! I’m hoping sunshine is on the other end though otherwise I will be VERY sad!
Breakfast looks incredible and I’m LOVING the tea latte with sprinkle of…cinnamon??
It is a dark gloomy day here too! Makes me want to curl up and take a nap!
Breakfast looks delish!
It’s dreary here too—feels cozy!
I love apple butter and recently made some muffins that included some apple butter in the ingredients. Delicious and perfect for Fall.
The weather is getting cooler and the spiders are moving inside! It creeps me out too.
I love pb & toast but I have this mind block that it won’t keep me as full as oatmeal!
My, my that vanilla tea latte looks good! Would have that anytime of any day
You are very brave facing that spidey. Thanks for sharing.
You’re becoming quite the coffee/tea maker!! I’m impressed.
I hate spiders with a passion – probably one of my biggest fears!
Spiders are the only things I hate about this time of year!
Dark, dready, and rainy here, too…there was thunder & lightning all night!
I never thought to combine something like apple butter with a nut butter, but man oh man I’ll bet that combo is incredible. There’s a jar of pumpkin butter waiting for me back home…maybe I’ll try that out over Thanksgiving break!
MmmmMmmm yummy! Happy Wednesday!
That latte looks a million times better than the crappy airport coffee I just had!
Breakie looks good. My ride to work was cold, but the wet held off, for now! It’ll probably be pouring rain by the time I leave work. It’s gonna be a wet ride (cycle) home!
I was craving similar this morning. But I had an English muffin smothered in PB and layered with bananas. Yum. Ice coffee to boot. I’d be in heaven if I could have the selection of breads you have at your finger tips.
I love a dreary day – and walking on a crisp, dreary fall day is my absolute favorite! I hate spiders too – yuck! How’s that sticky trap working for you?
I bought a Hobo trap – and it looks like they only live in the west?? No spiders have taken to them yet..
Drat! My brother uses the sticky traps in his garage and basement and he catches tons of them – he’s even caught mice in his garage in the autumn when they start to look for a warm place to nest for the winter. I think if you decide to use those it should DEFINITELY be Matt’s job to pick up the full traps – yucky! Good luck!
If the Great Harvest Bread Company wasn’t over an hours drive from where I am, I would eat bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner. True story. Looks delicious!
dark and dreary here too – but apparently no sunshine until friday! Your breakfast sounds amazing though, all those good flavors! I’d love a latte, if only starbucks used almond milk! (no dairy or soy for me now…)
it’s going to be craptastic here all damn day. At least NY is getting a good washing. I feel bad for the OWS’ers, though.
Did you make it to cycle or do you want to come flow with Pilar at 4:15? Stretch out them hiking muscles….
It’s going to be cold and rainy here for the next couple of days. I think tomorrow I’ll be running on the treadmill instead of outside.
It’s raining in Boston too. Kind of a bummer, but I have a lot of work to do, so at least I’m not tempted to go outside!
I’m such a wimp when it comes to spiders, or any bugs really. If someone else is around, I’ll make them deal with it. I don’t want to be anywhere near them!
I totally get being scared of the poisonous spiders. However if I were you I would get really good at recognizing recluses and hobos, and take a moment to catch the other little guys and take them out. It would mean being brave, and taking a few moments out of your day, but spiders are an imprtant part of our ecosystem, and deserve to live their little lives too!
mmmm…vermont apple butter! Sounds awesome! A full on cloudy, super chilly taste of late fall here in MN…highs in the 40′s!!! makes the latte look like a good idea, too!
How do you make a homemade latte?! Do you have a fanchy smanchy machine? I am interested in investing a frother to make a cappuccino since I don’t have a machine…
Check back a few breakfasts ago – I got a cheap frother from IKEA
Ugh. I freaking hate spiders. Shortly after we moved into our house I woke up with a nasty bite on my foot, turns out it was from a wolf spider. Creepy bastard was in my BED and bit me when I was sleeping. I HATE spiders!!!
I heard someone refer to the rain as “liquid sunshine”

Ugh, I hate spiders so much! I cannot even kill them. I’ll either scream for my fiance if he is home or I’ll suck it through the vaccum!
Classy, I know.
Breakfast look yummy!
You have some of the tastiest looking breakfast dishes out there. I always look forward to your breakfast posts. Gives me inspiration to get creative w. my own morning meals!
Is there a way to have the Cvill Crunch bread sent to me in Oregon? I drool everytime you have it for breakfast and need to get my paws on a loaf (or 20) ASAP! A couple jars of Biscoff spread would be appreciated as well. I have yet to try that and have heard from you and many others that it’s to die for. Hook me up
I’m sorry, but we’re not set up to ship breads yet. There are also tons of GH’s in Oregon – ask them for Flax Oat Bran (same bread!)
Although it may seem so at times, I am not a Biscoff dealer
Now THAT is my kind of breakfast! (I am all about toast, I just love the crunch).
Eww, I finished my day yesterday with killing a spider . I try to avoid it if I can but this one required urgent action – the cat was trying to catch it and I DID NOT want him eating a poisonous one! Ended up grabbing it quickly with TP and flushing it still kicking +o(
