I’m 75% of the way packed. Got my clothes and toiletries done, just have to finish all of my miscellaneous stuff like camera charger, Larabars and books. This afternoon is all writing.
I came up for air from my suitcase and came down at 1PM for lunch. I decided on a Great Harvest delight –
On the outside she’s covered in warts and bumps –
But it’s what’s on the inside that counts! Melted Laughing cow and cheddar cheese –
I also made a salad with romaine, green pepper, zucchini, carrot, balsamic, salt, slivered almonds and Great Harvest jalapeno cornbread croutons
I didn’t finish it all. The veggies got a little gaggy on me by the end 🙁
Tazo Cucumber White tea – LOVED it!! I was worried it would be too watery/cucumbery but it was slightly spicy with a very slight cinnamony taste and had a good amount of body.

Normal Eating
Nutrition By Eve wrote a post about “Normal Eating” as defined by Ellen Satter MSW, RD in her book How to Get Your Kid to Eat: But Not Too Much. I LOVED the description and found myself analyzing myself for normal eating. I think I’m pretty normal 90% of the time. I do have hiccups when I overeat on cookies or eat till I feel sick, and I know I’m emotionally eating when I do that, but overall, I think I do pretty well on her bullet points.
Check out the post here: Normal Eating.

See y’all!

Yummy looking bread-I’m making some bumpy oatmeal bread today!
Daria (Summer of the CSAs) says
That cheese sammie looks great!
Wendy says
Mmmm….melty cheese on good bread! Looks delish.
I tried the frozen banana “ice cream” recipe you had on here a while back and -holy cow- was that tasty! My 14 month old son loved it as much as I did. We only had to process it for 2 minutes or so in our little food processor and it was ready to go.
Trying it again tonight and thinking about adding a bit of vanilla to it.
Megan (The Runner's Kitchen) says
I love cheesy, toasted bread! And croutons definitely “make” a salad for me. Mmm, carbs.

You are going to have such a great trip 🙂 Larabars are such perfect on the go snacks. Love your description of your yummy sandwich. The seeds look amazing on top of that bread!

Love all the melty cheese. Mmmmm. 😛
Pam (Highway to Health) says
Normal eating can be such a hard thing. I think I’m finally getting comfortable with normal eating – with the occasional slip up!
Your sandwich looks great!
BethT says
speaking of Larabars, have you tried the new flavors yet? I broke down and ordered them from the web site…both PB&J and Tropical Fruit Tart are the best I’ve ever tasted!
Cait (Cait's Plate) says
As always I am so jealous of that GH bread! You are one lucky girl!
I am also so in love with that bowl!
Eve says
I’m glad you liked the link! When I first hear this it was a bit of an “ah-ha” moment. I hope your readers will enjoy it too. Good luck packing!

Interesting take on a grilled cheese sammie. I like it.

I love your stoneware bowl…so gorgeous! That tea sounds delicious and refreshing!
Lainie says
Thanks for the link to the normal eating article; very interesting! I think I’m a normal eater maybe 80% of the time….I would like to strive to be normal always though.
MarathonVal says
All of your Great Harvest breads look fabulous… for some reason the GH stores I go to never seem to have such an interesting, unique selection!
Also, I am giving away a Spi-belt (running belt with pouch) giveaway on my new blog (www.ChicagoMarathonVal.com) if you are interested! 🙂
Lisa says
Thanks for the link – when I was seeing a nutritionist for my eating disorder, she gave me that same definition. At that point I sort of blew it off, but now I can see its value.
Lizzy says
That great harvest bun looks amazing! yummy!
Nicole says
Mmm…melty cheese. And fresh bread. Perfect combo.
K says
Cheesy and seedy! The best of both worlds – yum! Thanks for the link 🙂
Susan says
I’m a fan your grilled cheese “smashing” method. Oh, and I’ll have to keep my eye out for that Tazo tea. I love white tea!!
Chloe (Naturally Frugal) says
I liked the “normal eating” excerpt. It rings true to me and I hope to be able to follow that advice every day. It’s nice to know that eating normally doesn’t mean eating perfectly all the time. Good post!
Joelle (The Pancake Girl) says
Aahh I want that bun, yum! I wish there was a Great Harvest near me!
Kath says
BethT ,
I haven’t!!!!! I’ve got so many flavors in my house that I can’t justify ordering them, but if I see one in a store I will buy it for sure!

Christina says

Warts and bumps are looking pretty good these days! 🙂
britt says
grilled cheese is the best! i’ve never thought of using laughing cow with the cheddar, though. great idea!
i defintely would have paired it with a bowl of amy’s tomato bisque. so good!
Vivian says
Thanks Kath for sharing about “normal eating” – great article! 🙂
