Full Of Nelson

Foodblog-3711

I did a whole lotta nothin’ today – not a lick of exercise. Somehow (or perhaps not so surprisingly since exercise energizes), I’m still tired! Hoping for a great night’s sleep and fresh start tomorrow!

Afternoon cheese plate..

Foodblog-3705

Followed by date night at Blue Mountain Brewery! I had a craving for the countryside – and for their pizza!

Foodblog-3714

One of our favorite places to take out of towners because it requires a gorgeous drive into the Virginia countryside. When you arrive in Nelson County, you’re surrounded by dramatic mountains (and beer!)

Foodblog-3709

Also, my favorite pizza in all of Cville!

Foodblog-3728

Foodblog-3733

They have expanded this year and it was absolutely PACKED at 6pm!

Foodblog-3732

We were told a 35 minute wait and 45 minutes for food, but we ended up just eating at the tiki bar and our pizza came out very quickly! Thankfully the temps were such that we could sit outside and not drip with sweat. Thank goodness!

Foodblog-3715

Fun to see non-beer options other than water and Coke on the menu

Foodblog-3708

I enjoyed a local Bucha – ginger flavor. It was good, but I’m not a big ginger person so I would have enjoyed another flavor more, I think.

Foodblog-3718

Matt enjoyed two malty brews. Can’t wait to taste the new beers that have come out this year when the time is right!

Foodblog-3706

We each ordered a side Caesar salad

Foodblog-3723

And then polished off about 3/4 of this amazing local Double H farm sausage, pepper and mushroom pizza.

Foodblog-3722

Every bite – down to the 50% whole wheat herby crust – was simply amazing. Perfect, perfect pizza.

Foodblog-3721

Best pizza of the year! (Sorry Matt)

Foodblog-3727

(And what is it about rectangular pizzas that is so good!?)

Foodblog-3720

Because of an early start, we were done with dinner by 7pm and took the scenic route home. A gorgeous Saturday night. I’m glad we’re home early – more time for evening entertainment!

    Your first beer will be soooo good! 😉 & more restaurants should definitely serve non-alcoholic drinks other than Coke! Glad you found something.

    That pizza looks insane! Your top is very cute, love that color 🙂 I’ve noticed some places offer a nice selection of fruity type mocktails, but it seems like they’re always just as expensive as the regular cocktails!

    Caesar salad and pizza has to be one of my favorite meals. I like eating each bite of pizza with some salad on top. Call me crazy, but it’s unbeatable!

    Hey Kath! I thought it was FINALLY time to comment on your blog. I have been reading every single post for months now; you have even inspired me to start blogging. I have been dying to go by the bakery for awhile now, to maybe see you and taste the bread :). Ironically though, on a lazy afternoon myself, I thought about suggesting to my parents that we go to Blue Mountain tonight, as we live in the region. Now seeing this post I am kicking myself!! Just wanted to let you know I love your blog and your recipes! [ps. I recently tried Matt’s Oats n’ Seeds bread and it was delicious!]

    You look absolutely amazing in the shirt (or possibly dress…thought I’m betting shirt…) pictured! The color and shape are FABULOUS on you. Assuming it’s maternity, please go hunt out a non maternity shirt just like this after baby Baker is born!!! SUPER flattering on you.

    You look AMAZing! Love thd pizza. Question: do you count the costs of eating out or picking up food on the go (like WF salads) as part of your food budget??

    We love Blue Mountain as well! The Barefoot Bucha they have is now on tap at our Whole Foods here in Richmond and they have some other flavors including Elderflower and Plum. It’s amazing!

    That pizza looks amazing. I LOVE thin crust pizza and we just don’t have enough local pizza places that make it that way! I think it’s time to whip up some of my own. Sometimes I make mini “thin crust” pizzas using wheat tortillas. The crispier the better!

    Thanks for the inspiration.

    Gorgeous views!

    I am not a big ginger fan either — other than ginger ale — but I like Kombucha. If Ginger Kombucha were the only non-pop item on the menu other than water, I would drink it.

    OMG that food looks delish! Especially that ceaser salad. I haven’t been ordering Ceaser’s since I’ve been pregnant b/c I thought we couldn’t have them if they were made with raw egg? Do you just ask the waiter before you order what it’s made of?

      Only really fancy restaurants make their caesar dressing from scratch (usually).

    Your non-alcoholic ginger kombucha looks very refreshing! That’s a great idea to get a fancy drink but order it non-alcoholic. I hope you enjoyed it!

    LOVE Blue Mountain Brewery– the location, the food, the beer, the kombucha… great place to let the little ones run around in the grass, and we have a special fondness for one of the owners, Matt, who used to work with us at Rebecca’s 🙂 Thanks for the post and lovely pictures… now I’m HUNGRY!!!
