Path Of Greatness

Great bread…

[Macaroon Chocolate Coconut Challah!!]

IMG_4416

Great owners!

IMG_4419

Great veggies…

IMG_4430

After Great Harvest, we met up with Megan, Sana and Christina at the “must see” restaurant in Clarksville – Great Sage.

IMG_4436

Great recommendation – I was more than excited to eat lots of veggies after 2 days of bread!

IMG_4424

Green juice cocktail – celery + cuc juice muddled with mint and lime

IMG_4425

For lunch I had the RAW SEAWEED SALAD Seaweed blend, nutrient rich kelp noodles, cucumber, cabbage and sprouts, dressed in a creamy sesame-miso vinaigrette.

IMG_4429

With tofu! It was awesome! Super cruncy.

IMG_4432

Matt had the sweet potato lasagna – which I tasted and also loved

IMG_4428

IMG_4427

Great lunch!

IMG_4435

After lunch we all crowded around the trunk of my car to taste the Macaroon Bread

IMG_4438

Holy yum!

Challah-2

We said farewell, and drove on to Gram’s in Towson!

IMG_4445

Where mom is also hanging out

Gram is an amazing artist

You might recognize the style from some of the art in our house! We hope to have some in the bakery

    Have a fantastic time with your Gram. I wish I could see mine more often than I do. We’re very close, but live 800 miles apart.

    She does work from home, although she does it way more out of passion for creativity than anything else. She’s been on exhibit a few times, but she doesn’t sell it through any kind of official way. I’m trying to get her to let me auction off a few!
