We had such a great time this weekend!!
The highlight of last night was obviously the delicious END PIECE of wedding cake I enjoyed. After dessert I got up to go to the bathroom and came back to the table to find Matt had located the extra-cake table and snuck over another small piece for us to share in raspberry flavor. He knows me so well 🙂
The food was great [best bleu cheese I’ve ever had!!!!], the setting breathtaking, the weather perfect, and the bride and groom in love <3
The drive home, however, was long, dark and NOT handsome!!
This morning I feel like someone stuffed me with 5 loaves of bread. Oh wait, that someone was ME!!! On top of my 1.5 pieces of cake, I had a Manhattan, too much butternut squash ravioli in cream sauce, a wedding favor cookie and a lot of chocolate “chips”. Definitely ready to make a grocery list full of my favorite green foods!
Didn’t know what to make for breakfast today [neither filling oatmeal nor smoothies were appealing], but felt that it should involve fruit and some of the fresh Great Harvest bread we picked up from Great Harvest Warrenton before the wedding.
A coconut muffin, a small loaf of Honey Whole Wheat and some Apple Crunch Bread!
I toasted some Apple Crunch under the broiler and topped it with a pumpkin + greek yogurt mix, Crofter’s mixed with coconut butter (thought this would make a sauce but it made hard clumps like berries!) and a blob of Nuttzo.
Plus kiwi
And coffee
No idea what’s in store for today, but we’ve got blue skies above!
Hannah says
That Crofters + coconut butter mix looks *exactly* like crystallised violets. So pretty! 🙂

It was something Azure – but I can’t see to easily find it on Google

Nice breakfast! I just had a look at the gorgeous wedding photos – you look stunning by the way! Have a great Sunday. 🙂
holly @ couchpotatoathlete says
A nice light breakfast is perfect after a heavy day of eating. But how often do you get to enjoy good wedding cake? Not too often 🙂
Enjoy your day, we’ve got nice cool weather in MN and I am enjoying every second of it!
Stacey (The Habit of Healthy) says
It sounds like you had a fab time at the wedding. You always have such tasty looking bread – umm, yum!
Camille says
The end piece is my favorite too!
Sounds like a delicious wedding 🙂
Michelle @ Give Me the Almond Butter says
It is so great moving back to my college town knowing that there is a Great Harvest here as well. I love how Great Harvest is a chain store, but definitely doesn’t feel like it!
Megan says
Where is your dress from? I love love love it.
Kath says
Loehmann’s and it’s Speechless brand
Heather says
Looks like you had a great time at the wedding.
Your breakfast looks like the perfect recovery – enjoy the beautiful day!
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
I always have no appetite after a big eating event.
Looks like you had a great breakfast though 🙂
Have a wonderful Sunday 🙂
Sarah (Running to Slow Things Down) says
What a beautiful breakfast! I’m loving your Crofters + Coconut creation. It really does look like berries! 😀
Caitlin (EatFeats) says
That extra piece of cake story is so sweet. What a wonderful husband!
Sandy says
I do not care what they serve at a wedding, as long as I can have two pieces of wedding cake! Always my favorite part of the wedding.
Bee Goes Bananas says
That meal looks so bright and summery! It almost makes me forget that fall is just around the corner.
Steph says
How many different blogs do you follow? I constantly find that my preplanned meal menu changes after I’ve visited a few bloggers 🙂
Kath says
Maybe 50!?
Jil @ Peace, Love & Munchies says
Ohh – beautiful breakfast! and the wedding sounds wonderful!
Sana says
🙂 Enjoy the blue skies!
Tina says
I always need super light meals like that after a more indulgent night. Looks good! And glad you had fun at the wedding. 🙂
Elizabeth says
The apple crunch and kiwi look amazing.
Christina @ Food.Fun.Fabulous says
I just went to a Great Harvest for the first time the other day 🙂
Kate says
If you’re ever in Warrenton for the day, have dinner at Iron Bridge Wine Company which is a few blocks down and across the street from Great Harvest. I worked there until a week ago when I moved across the country. It’s got a great selection of wine and the food is yummy! Try the baked brie and shrimp and grits. Or if you’re there on a weekend, they have started working with the Farm Buyers Club to do a special local menu. Fried green tomatoes and beet salad!!

Quick question…when you buy a lot of bread do you have a hard time eating it all before it goes bad? Or do you freeze it? My husband and I find that when we buy bread some goes bad because there are just the two of us and we don’t eat it fast enough…we recently started freezing all our bread immediately after buying!
Kath says
We love bread and rarely have trouble eating a loaf 🙂 But we also eat really good bread that lasts a good week. But we do freeze loaves whole if we have a lot on hand
Simply Life says
oh that bread looks so fresh and yummy!
Amber K says
Weddings have some of the best food! Yum.
Paula says
I just recently found a Great Harvest near my home. I love the honey whole wheat bread. It is low fat and will not turn green for 7-10 days. It is great for those who are looking to avoid oils and are watching the fat content. I like reading your blog to know more about what is available at GH.
Natalia - a side of simple says
Mmm, what a colorful breakfast! That Apple Crunch melt looks heavenly!
stacey-healthylife says
