Reunited with my Charlotte friend love!
While I’m in NOVA I had to stop in and visit Emily, her plum, her husband and doggies.
The plum is featured here as a symbol to what’s growing inside! 12 weeks!
When I arrived after the VDA meeting, I had the banana + sunflower butter snack I’d been thinking about all morning. Plus some TJs Ginger Cats!
Then we went out for a walk with the doggins
We walked for about 45 mins and then picked up Casey to head out for dinner
Destination: Fontaine Caffé & Creperie
I had a sparkling water as my adult beverage
And loooved one of the table’s apple + brie bruschettas
For dinner I obviously had to get a crepe
This is the Zenist with lentils, tomatoes and spinach in a spiced coconut blend. The crepe was made with buckwheat flour!
It was so delicious I ate it all!
We walked back home and are watching HGTV and eating ginger cats in Almond Dream ice cream (which was really good!)
Meow!
At the VDA meeting I met 3 Charlottesville dietitians and told them about our Great Harvest. I also recommended they stop into Great Harvest Warrenton on their way home to meet Pablo and taste some bread. They did – and I found this in my inbox!!
I haven’t slept well in two nights – can’t wait to put my head on the pillow tonight. Tomorrow I head back to Cville where I have a mile-long to-do list waiting for me!
Jenny @ Fitness Health and Food says
ohh I miss old town and DC!
Looks like you had a lot of fun 🙂
Angela (Oh She Glows) says
Oh my gosh that crepe!! I have no words, just drool.
Emily, her plum, and you are all glowing. 🙂
Cait's Plate says
Haha oh my gosh I LOVE Emily’s shirt!! Where did she get it??
Love TJ’s ginger cats, they’re the best. Well actually I love ANYTHING Trader Joe’s – but those are particularly delicious 🙂 Also good with peanut butter (and ice cream!) are Annie’s Hunny Bunnies.
Allison @ Happy Tales says
Ginger Cat’s are my favorite, too!! My boyfriend even gave me a tub of ’em for Xmas this yr (among other things.. it wasn’t just ginger cats, lol!)
In fact, I once asked him to pick up some Ginger Cats for me one time when he was going to TJ’s and I was staying home…he gave me the *weirdest* look (this was before Xmas) so I had to explain that yes, Ginger Cats = people food. When he got home, not only did he have Ginger Cats, but he also had the Chocolate Cats for himself… haaa! I laughed so hard.
Kim @ Spoonful of Sass says
Those are some of my internship preceptors! So fun! Makes me smile that it’s a small world.
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
I hope you get some rest tonight! Eek!
That crepe looks delicious and so does the apple/brie appetizer! Yum!
Stacy @ Every Little Thing says
Glad you guys got to hang out! That crepe looks amazing. Have a safe trip home!
staceyhealthylife says
You and emily have the cutest shirts. Love your dinner that crepe sounds awesome, and dessert oh yum.
lynn @ the actor's diet says

chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
Well taht’s the cutest plum if I’ve ever seen one! 🙂 Have fun with Emily!
Kristi @ KristiAteIt says
That apple and brie brushetta looks delicious! As does the almond ice cream and TJ ginger cats. I really need to make a stop into TJ’s. I’ve only ever been there once, but didn’t really look around too much.
Hannah says
Wow, that crepe is amazing! And I’ve recently been eating a lot of sunflower butter with peaches. Bananas are $13 a kilo here right now 🙁
Lucy @ The Sweet Touch says
I love crepes, have you ever seen them being made? It is quite an art!
Namaste Gurl says
Jealous you got to hang out with Emily and eat yummy crepes and eat almond ice cream. Enjoy your time with her! 🙂
Cindy says
That crepe looks SO good!
[email protected] says
I love that shirt! It’s adorable!!!
Also, I have JUST started foraying into non-dairy ice creams (almond & coconut) and WOW I am so surprised by how tasty they are!! I think coconut ice cream is actually better than dairy ice cream.
Julie says
Looks like a delicious dinner! You actually had a galette for dinner, I think. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galette. I studied abroad in Rennes, France in Brittany and had more than my share of these. YUM.
Vanessa says
Looks like a perfect visit with an old friend. 🙂 Wish you guys still lived in Charlotte so I might have had a chance to meet you!! Glad you both have moved onto places where you are happy though! That crepe looks delish.
Amanda (tomboy that wears makeup) says
Fun! 2 awesome bloggers chillin with some ginger cookies and ice cream. good time xoxo
Katie says
I miss old town! So many great places to eat, so historical, and just beautiful! My fiance and I lived there for a little while, he worked at a firm right there in old town! I miss it!
Hope you get some sleep tonight Kath!
emily says
Oh my goodness that looks good! Two questions – 1) What is that green stuff that looks like glitter paint? Pesto? and 2) Was it soft like a traditional crepe, or more tortilla textured?
I guess also, 3) Is it wrong that I’m already trying to plan meals for a tentative trip to DC more than 2 months from now? 🙂
KathEats says
I actually don’t know what the green stuff was! And it was a very soft crepe
Abby says
Looks like a fun evening! 🙂 Hope you get some well needed rest tonight!!
Kathleen @ KatsHealthCorner says
No way!!!! I love those cookies!!! 😀 I haven’t seen KITTY Graham Crackers before!!! 😀 LOVE IT! 😀

Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says
I will be going (across the street) tomorrow to TJs to get those ginger cats. Had no idea they existed, dont care if they’re not vegan and not GF. I will be getting them!
banana + sunflower butter = Tj’s SFSButter is my love, my passion. lol
Your time with Emily…awesome! Her plum. Love the reference. Grape, plum, apple, etc. I remember playing fruit naming/size games when I was pregnant!
Ash @ Good Taste. Healthy Me says
Yum apple and brie! Brie is so delicious.
Yay for blog friends!

Aw, I’m glad you got the chance to see Emily again 🙂 Friend time is a must when life gets really busy 😉 Your dinner looks yummy and I LOVE almond dream ice cream!
Hope you have a safe trip back tomorrow and a good nights sleep tonight 🙂
Khushboo says
Almond dream ice cream sounds like a dream. I’m yet to find a carton of ice cream in mumbai without a funky sounding ingredient list!
Sarah for Real says
Lol it looks like your dietician friend has grain on the brain, literally! The woman on the right looks like the sprigs on the wall are coming directly out of her head. That’s some unfortunate yet funny head placement.
Ashley says
How fun!!! I want to come play!! We have a crepe place here too that does sweet + savory. The savory are made with buckwheat and they are delish! 🙂
Emily Malone says
These were buckwheat tooooo! We miss you!
Morgan @ moments of mmm says

I’m partial to sweet crepes, but that savory one looks scrumptious!!
Kate (What Kate is Cooking) says
That crepe is a thing of beauty! I’ve never had a savory crepe before. I’m very intrigued 🙂
Emma (Namaste Everyday) says
buckwheat crepes are the best! also, those ginger cats are such little cutie pies 🙂 MUNCH!
[email protected] Grains of Paradise says
Beautiful food! I I wish I saw more crepes on the menus out here. They are so easy to make and can be filled with anything!! Love the simplicty of the brushettas too…Can’t go wrong with apples and brie:) Aloha!
Alaina says
I just might have to recreate that bruschetta sometime. Looks much better than the tomato variety. 🙂
Hope you’re able to get some good rest soon!
Hannah @ Healthy Life says
Fun photos- I love both of your t shirts! The bruschetta looks great, I love brie!

Love the picture of Pablo and new friends. Hi Emily! Congratulations!

I hope you were able to rest up! It looks like you’ve been having a busy (but FUN) past few days.
And Emily is going to make an adorable mom. 😀
Katherine: Unemployed says
I don’t know what is going on with that crepe folding situation but I like it

Simply Life says

R @ Learning As I Chop says
That Almond Dream looks good. Must try it
MonsteRawr says
Mmmm…there are few things I love more than a good brie with apple or pear. Add in some carbs, and I’m in heaven. Yummy!
Angel7 says
That crepe is kind of making me hungry for lunch already, and it is only 10:02AM. I can justify being a little hungry, though, because I did not have much for breakfast.

Jil @ Big City, Lil Kitchen says
Ohhh – that apple brie bruschetta sounds increddddible!

That crepe sounds to die for right now. I’m in the mood for some lentils! Love this post, your blog and Emilys are two that I read the most! 🙂
Jess (Sweet Potato) says
Its always so fun to visit a friend. That crepe looks fantastic!
Jo @ Jo In the Kitchen says
Oh man, I haven’t had crepes in sooooo long! I think that needs to be remedied.
Jessica M says
I didn’t know about Great Harvest until I read your blog. SO glad I know about it now. Best bread ever.
aimee says
I thought the lady on the right in the last picture had one of those headbands with ears on it until I looked closer and saw it was the wheat on the wall.
Lele says
I went there LAST WEEK and ate THAT BRUSCHETTA.
My gosh, I feel like a celebrity. That is so exciting to me!
KathEats says
Hahaha 🙂
