There are huge flakes falling from the sky!!
The forecast had just said snow showers/rain for the past few days, but Cara announced at dinner last night that they were saying we might get a dumping. Guess we’re getting it! Prediction: 1-10”. In all honesty I hope we’re closer to one inch than ten!
When I left for the gym around 11:30a it was just sprinkling rain. I drooled on the pages of BH&G for 45 minutes on the elliptical and looked up to see white on the grass! And slush in the parking lot. I ended with some quick lifting, took a detour home to Main Street Market for chicken, turkey & eggs from the Organic Butcher and bread from Albemarle Baking Company.
On my way home the sleet turned to flakes!
I have been having HUGE cravings for eggs lately due to the fact that we’ve been out of them for about a month! Before we left for Montana I didn’t want to buy any because we’d be gone for so long. And then I was very excited to get them this week and I FORGOT them on my grocery list!
Craving crunched.
Scrambled egg sandwich on whole grain bread made with 2 farm-fresh eggs, salt, pepper and JAM. Jam makes everything delicious.
On the side, a fru-fru spinach salad with cinnamon almonds, pear, and Cherry Balsamic vinegar (from the Boston Olive Oil Co)
All served on a new swatch of fabric from Fabric.com – I’ve got a new set design!
Currently sipping on Candy Cane Lane and trying to figure out how to get around the huge camel cricket in my basement so I can change the laundry…
Meg says
I don’t know what I’d do without eggs! I’d probably have mad cravings for em’ too 🙂
We’ve already got snow here and they’re calling for more…ahh! At least it’s pretty, right?
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is says
I love egg sandwiches. I often have eggs for lunch!
Holly @ Couch Potato Athlete says
I just googled “camel cricket” YUCK!!!! Laundry can wait, definitely.
I eat eggs almost every day. I love them so much!
Cute fabric! It makes your lunch look so cheery!
Heather (heathers dish) says
I am now craving an egg sandwich! Reminds me of breakfasts growing up!
Lisa (bakebikeblog) says
oh yummo! That sandwich and salad look tasty indeed!!
Flourchild says
I thought of you today when I ate this amazlingly healthy Vege sandwich from a new place in town called Eat Fresh!!!
Rachael says
I LOVE putting jam on my toast and then piling the eggs on- everyone always looks at me funny and says jam + eggs = yucky
I’m happy to know it’s not just me that loves this combo!
Kristi says
OMG…me too!!!! I even put Jam on my biscuits before I top them with gravy! I love me some jam!!
Stacy R. says
Ditto! My Fiance thinks it’s yucky. I thought I was the only crazy
Darcy @ She Sings at the Table says
I miss days off from school due to snow! My dad was a school superintendent and used to let me call the TV stations to give the password calling it off 🙂 Very cute new placemat!
Lindsey says
I live in Harrisonburg and we’ve gotten so much ice & snow already! That sandwich looks so good!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Eggs make the perfect meal any time of day! The sandwich looks perfect. Try to stay warm this afternoon!
Alaina says
That sandwich looks delicious!
I can’t stand all of the snow we’ve gotten. I’m ready for it to be gone! This is making my upcoming trip to Vegas look so much better! 🙂
Michelle (The Runner's Plate) says
I’ve never tried putting jam on my egg sandwiches, but I’m going to next time!
Sarah says
Do you want to hear a horrible story? A camel cricket jumped on my lips late one night when I was sitting on the couch. I had just performed in Little Women the musical so it sort of ruined my actor’s high. I thought I was going to die.
KathEats says
AHHHHHHHHHH
Megan says
I can’t lie and say your lunch looks delicious…because I don’t like eggs. But I do like the fabric! 🙂
Funny you used cinnamon spiced nuts today, because that’s what my morning post was about 🙂
Hope says
It snowed a lot here this morning. It was awful driving into work. We are supposed to get round two tonight! They are saying 10-12 inches! Ahh!!
I love egg sandwiches! They are so yummy. They are the best when you are hungry and don’t know what to make.
[email protected] says
Eggs are da bommmmmbbb!!! I can’t believe it’s so cold there! Not to be an arrogant pain in the rear–but it’s hard to believe it’s so cold b/c in SoCal it’s so~neutral and actually very nice today. But it’s always pretty much the same weather and no difference in the seasons. But hope you have an awesome day Kath!
Cati @ crave and create says
Ugh, camel crickets are horrifying, aren’t they? It’s so creepy the way they jump at you! My sympathies.
[email protected] says
I made a brussels sprouts scramble for lunch 2 days ago… it was soooo delicious! 🙂
Susan (Oliepants) says
I love jam sandwiches and I love egg sandwiches. I now have to try them together per your suggestion!
Callie says
I love that fabric! Looks like springtime to me!
And that sandwich looks so delicious I think it might be inspiration for my dinner. Yum!
megs says
The look of that sandwich gives me an egg craving! Egg salad with fresh dill…
Estela @ Weekly Bite says
What a perfect lunch!! The snow is pouring down in Alexandria!
Valerie @ City|Life|Eats says
The sandwich looks great!
I am afraid of all bugs. I hope you got your laundry!
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
I had an egg sandwich for breakfast yesterday! I hadn’t had eggs in a couple months and it was SO good!!
Camille says
Truth: jam can make anything delicious. And I mean anything!
Katy (The Singing Runner) says
You just reminded me that I need to go get eggs! 😉
Kori says
Jam+eggs=deliciousness! Many people eat toast topped with jam alongside eggs, so why not combine them? AAAAHHHH about the cave cricket though!!! I HATE them!
Amy says
1. I <3 the Organic Butcher. I've only been there a few times but I love having the chance to go!
2. CAMEL CRICKET AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Caitlyn (A Spoonful of Life) says
Oh dear, I hate crickets! They give me the heebie jeebies!
Kara says
I always crave egg salad, but I never remember to make it…and then I’m too hungry to wait! Maybe this will inspire me to hard boil some eggs tonight!
Kaci Higgins says
I love that you put jam on so many things! People make fun of me when I put jam on a cheese sandwich. They’re crazy.
I DESPISE camel crickets! One of my professor’s actually brought one to class last semester to show how to overcome phobias because she was using me as an example. I of course had no idea this was going to occur until she pulled it out from underneath her podium in a gladware container! I almost had a heart attack. lol
Allison says
Camel crickets look very scary – check out what we have in CA! Google “Jerusalem Cricket.” SO ICK!!!!!
Heather says
I was thinking on my way home to have a spinach and pear salad for dinner! Sounds like an amazing combo!
It is snowing here too – we are supposed to get 9-12 inches. I just got home from work and am glad I’m in for the night.
Enjoy your evening.
Jessica says
How is 1-10″ a prediction? That’s such a huge range!
Awesome looking sammich too 🙂 I usually use fried egg for mine.
Jessica
Val @ Balancing Val says
Omg.
Camel crickets are the scariest thing.
They can fly, jump . . . And be hairy!
Who does that?!
Be careful 🙂
Nicole says
Beautiful photos, Kath!
I was pretty surprised at how HUGE the snowflakes over here were too. Wild!
Julie (A Case of the Runs) says
That sandwich looks great! I usually eat my egg sandwiches with soy seasoning sauce. =)
[email protected]llyVegan says
That bread looks good but I bet you are really missing Great Harvest (and Matt!)
kate says
I have been craving eggs lately. Egg sandwiches rock. As does jam of any kind!
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
I love egg sandwiches too! Except I prefer my eggs over easy. Runny yolk mm 🙂
Allison K. says
Love the look of those eggs! So bright and yellow!
Natalia - a side of simple says
Whenever I hear “jam” i think of Disney’s “Alice and Wonderland” and the whole Mad Hatter scene with the mouse. Random? Yes. With eggs? Perfect.
lauren @ spiced plate says
Snow makes me so happy — and because I’m a teacher I get snow days too!
I’ve been craving eggs lately, but after I went on a cleanse in June I haven’t eaten them unless they’ve been baked into something. Your sandwhich looks like a great way to reintroduce them into my diet!
Sana says
heheh! I only like eggs in the form of egg salad! So good!
[email protected] Sweet Life says
That egg sandwich looks so amazing. First time in a long time I’ve wished I wasn’t a vegan!
Gwenn says
Just found your blog right now and realized you were not only in Charlottesville but likely getting your supplies for your sandwich while I was eating a wrap and having a latte at Calvino Cafe right next door! I got out before the snow got too crazy. Glad to see more Cville bloggers!
KathEats says
Oh wow – what a coincidence!!!
Krissy - Shiawase Life says
The placemat is so springy! Love it, great contrast to our weather, eh?
Erin (Travel, Eat, Repeat) says
You know, I never thought of using pieces of fabric instead of interesting placemats. So much cheaper to use fabric swatches!
Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen says
LOVE Boston Olive Oil Co – I got the Cinnamon Pear Balsamic for my dad for Christmas…so good!
Haleigh says
I could eat eggs every day for dinner, no joke! They are so delicious and versatile!
Jessica @ The Virtual Scrapbook says
Wow! Very snowy! We’re just dealing with…shockingly…lots of rain in Seattle!
That salad looks delicious! YUM!
Stacie @ Imperfectly Healthy says
I get strange cravings for eggs all the time! Yum!
And New York is supposed to get 10 inches of snow tonight. Boo! Bring on the spring now please! This is our 7th snowstorm…
Ann @ Day by Day says
Haha I love “fru fru spinach salads.” Perfect description!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
We keep eggs (unrefrigerated) for over a month sometimes! They are always good. Maybe we’re crazy? lol
Your egg sandwich looks yummy. I like maple syrup on my eggs, so I bet jam tastes good, too. 🙂
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
Camel cricket?! I don’t even want to know what that looks like!
Kjirsten- Balanced Healthy Life says
You new fabric looks so festive and spring like! : )
I love eggs so much too and hate when we are out. I always crave them more when they are not in our house!
Katie says
oh yum! eggs are the best! I need an egg sandwich soon!!!! Love the fabric!!!
Stay warm girl and stay safe!!!! xoxo
Jess (Sweet Potato) says
The new fabric is super cute! I agree, jam makes everything better!
Kelly says
Don’t kill him! It’s bad luck to kill a cricket. 😉 Can you shoo him with a broom, perhaps?
stacey-healthylife says
Seems to be snowing everywhere. Thank goodness it’s not snowing here.
Kiran says
Ewww! Camel crickets!!!!
Anyways, the egg sandwich looks divine. I’m yet to try jam on eggs, sounds weird, but delish combo I bet 😉
Annette says
I love eggs SO much! I need to try them with jam, thanks for the idea, Kath 🙂
Matt says
Good lookin eggwich but man that bread looks terrible!
Lisa @ Healthy Hokie says
I have never seen a egg sandwich look so good!
Lisa says
Egg sandwiches are the best quickie meals. Healthy and fast. Top of my list!
Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
Stay warm, safe, and cozy.
It’s not snowing in San Diego, thank god 🙂
Lauren says
We’re getting snow here too. Schools are already closed for tomorrow. Boo, I HATE the snow. 🙁 Be safe.
Joelle (The Pancake Girl) says
It’s snowing here in D.C. too! HUGE flakes pelting my window.
Ah, this post reminded me of being a kid- my mama would always make me scrambled eggs with a side of jam on the side to dunk my eggs in. Absolutely delish, though it always weird people out for some reason!
Hannah says
Yep, that looks like a sandwich destined to defeat cravings! Mega awesomeness!
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
eggs + jam. i can’t believe it took me almost 33 years to discover that amazing combo.
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
I saw that the East coast was getting a lot of snow the next few days! Kind of weird that it’s so close..yet it’s 60* here!
alana (at) the food says
eggs + jam seems totally weird, but im sure is aweeesome.
don’t you hate when your other half is out of town and can’t kill bugs for you?!
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
I love egg sandwiches! I usually fry the eggs though because I like it when I bite into the sandwich and the yolk dribbles out. 😀
Eileen says
I can’t get with you on eggs + jam.
However, I also just read your dinner post, and your soup looks out of this world! Keep the great ideas coming!
Elizabeth says
It’s encouraging that you found frozen kale! I’ve been watching for it at my WF for awhile now and have yet to see it, but now I have hope 🙂
Enjoy your snow! We got a foot in BOS and still have to head in to work/school!
Meridith says
I’m glad there’s someone who likes jam as much as I do! Jam and eggs were made for one another.
Leannalove says
Jam and Eggs? really? I am a favour of the sweet and savoury thing.. but I dunno if I could ruin my precious eggs. I LOVE my yellow egg yolk.
Kristi (Hiding in Honduras) says
We have been eating a variation of eggs and beans at least once a day for the past 11 months. Finally this past week I got nauseous at the idea of another egg…so we deviled them. Problem solved! Eggs are awesome!
Christine @ What The Front Door?!?! says
Get yourself a cat. We get those camel crickets all the time up here in NoVa, and my cat… eliminates… them quickly. On the downside, I do find cricket legs lying around sometimes which is gross.
Maria @ The Fitted Apron says
Jam and eggs, yum!
