This always seem a little slow moving on Mondays.
Or perhaps everything but me is fast moving and I feel pressure to catch up!
I’m already running late getting my day started, but I have this french toast to blame:
French toast on High Five bread and Cinnamon Chip bread (a half slice of each) seared with coconut and flax. Plus grilled banana!! And the opening of a new jar of TJ’s Sunflower Butter – the nut butter of all nut butters!! Er, SEED butter!!!
Chai tea
The sun seems to be slow to get up this morning too!
Meg says
Goooood Monday morning, Kath!
Mmm sunflower seed butta is a fave of mine 😉 Enjoy the sunshine!
Jenny @ Fitness Health and Food says
I am totally slow motion on mondays as well I hope your day picks up breakfast looks lovely!
val says
ha! i’m eating oats for the first time in a really long time and i came to see what you put in yours today! it’s ok, i’ll be checkin out your tribute to oats soon!
also, do you ever eat steel cut oats? it’s my first time, and i have to say i think i like old-fashioned oats much better. is there a nutritional difference in steel cut maybe??
KathEats says
I had steel cut a few weeks ago and they reminded me for about the 10th time that i think old fashioned are way better
val says
i think steel cut tasted like grape nuts heated up and mushy! i tried, but i’m goin back to the old fashioned stuff:)
Holly @ The Runny Egg says
I think the Sun forgot about us today too 🙁 Hopefully it shows up sometime soon.
Love the french toast — I bet the cinnamon chip tastes amazing that way!
Angie @ Musings of a Violet Monkey says
I’m having a slow-motion Monday morning as well. Ugh.
The first of the fresh local strawberries on my yogurt bowl this morning helped a bit, though. 🙂
And hey, it’s a three day week for me this week… so that is something to look forward to!
Have a great day!!

Char says
This looks delish!! I just made some oats and felt compelled to watch your oat video – let’s just say, you make good oats!!
KathEats says
🙂
Andie says
Goodness it’s been too long since I’ve had French toast. Yours looks so lovely dressed in coconut and sunflower butter 🙂
Tanya @ Vegan Faith says
I agree…Trader Joe’s Sunflower Seed Butter is the best!
Lucy @ The Sweet Touch says
I debated about buying some last time I was at TJ’s. Now I’m sold!
Krissy @ Shiawase Life says
I am moving in slow-mo too! Also, klutz-mo – I was stocking the office kitchen and dropped a WHOLE BOX of wooden coffee stirrers into the sink. Boo! Hahah…
Alex says
Looks delicious! I am so glad is is finally strawberry season.
You don’t put milk in your chai?
KathEats says
We’re out of milk!
Ashley @ Feeding Ashley says
Have a great morning! I almost licked my screen when I saw that french toast. It looks so yummy!
Amanda- The Nutritionist Reviews says
I’m having chai tea too today!
Samantha Angela @ Bikini Birthday says
I was a bit slow moving too this morning. I was loving my bed inside. Not loving the snow too much outside. Yeah, snow. In April.
Natalie @ Will Jog For Food says
Your breakfast looks so good!
I am super slow today! I feel like I got nothing accomplished over the weekend and now I have to play catch up. I wish I had an extra day off every once in a while.
Courtney @ The Granola Chronicles says
It’s been forever since I’ve had TJ’s sunflower seed butter – gotta get my hands on that again!
Heather says
I love french toast – we had it yesterday for breakfast.
I wish we had a GH near us – I would love to try all those breads!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) says
Perfect breakfast! I am definitely moving slower than normal…hopefully the sunshine with spark a little more energy!
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
Perfect breakfast! Love that sunflower seed butter!
I tend to be really productive on my Monday mornings – it’s the only weekday morning I don’t have class or work so I like to get things done! 🙂
S.garcia says
I had toast with pb and nanners today too! Yummy! Have a good one! Where can I get the awesome bread btw??
KathEats says
Why Great Harvest, of course!
Katie @ Nourishing Flourishing says
Happy Monday! I bet the French toast was worth the slow start 😉 Looks delicious with the strawbs!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
Sunflower seed butter… yummmm! Melts so nicely!
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
TJ’s sunflower butter is my faaaaaavorite. It’s like dessert!
Heather @ Get Healthy With Heather says
I’ve got a slow moving monday morning too, you’re not the only one!
That french toast breakfast makes a monday morning better though i’m sure 🙂
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
That breakfast looks phenomenal!!! You’re making me hungry already lol! I hope you have a great day Kath – looks like it’s off to a very good start so far. 🙂
Natalia - a side of simple says
Hmmm… I think I need to purchase some sunflower butter this week. I’ve never tried it and you’re really making me crave it!
PS. Random question, but do you actually have a favorite nut/seed butter? Just wondering 🙂
KathEats says
Yes – this is it!!!!
Khushboo says
For a breakfast like that, I wouldn’t mind running late!
Angel7 says
French toast is so good, and easy to make! The nut butter probably makes the french toast.
I like your placemats and tablecloths!

Claire @ Live and Love to Eat says
That bread looks so hearty! Still haven’t tried sunflower seed butter…
[email protected] Sweet Life says
If Mondays have to come, at least they can bring french toast with them! Yum.
Ellie @ The Mommyist says
That french toast looks amazing!
Tine says
Mmm, grilled banana…
lynn @ the actor's diet says
mmmm, SEED butter!
Lea @ Healthy Coconut says
I agree about TJ’s sunbutter, it’s good. It also compliments raw carrots very well, something other nut butters doesn’t.
I have been snacking on carrot sticks and sunbutter a lot.
Hilary says
I’d say that breakfast is certainly worth being late for!
Parita @ myinnershakti says
Could that french toast look any more delicious!? Wow! Your pictures always amaze me (and make me a little jealous)!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
Aren’t strawberries delish right now? I just stocked up yesterday but I have devoured half the container already. 🙂
MonsteRawr says
No judgement here, says the girl who’s still sitting in her pj’s. I’ll get dressed eventually…
Ally (Girl V Food) says
TJ’s Sunflower Butter is the best tasting nut butter of all time. I don’t know what it is about it. The saltiness, the sweet kick, the creamy-runniness..just so delicious. Although the chunky PB with Flaxseeds from TJ’s is damn good, too.
Miranda @ Working Mom Works Out says
Moving slow is almost a requirement for Monday mornings. Breakfast looks yum, though.
[email protected] says
French toast and GH cinnamon chip bread sound like a match made in heaven!
Justeen @ Blissful Baking says
Sunflower butter really is the best! The French toast looks amazing!!
Sarah says
I’m having a slow moving Monday too.. Motivation for productivity is seriously lacking today.
Your french toast looks amazing though! The closest Great Harvest to me is in Kansas City I think. The next time I go there I will have to make a stop in and grab some cinnamon chip bread. I hear great things!
Cait @ Beyond Bananas says
That french toast looks like it is a perfectly worthy reason of running late!
kaila @ healthy helper! says
I’d have to agree….SUNFLOWER SEED BUTTER is the BEST! I’ve never had Tj’s brand though…..Maranatha’s is really good!
Mary (What's Cookin' with Mary) says
“This always seem a little slow moving on Mondays.” – I totally agree ! I’m still trying to wake up ;P
Intern Michelle says
I don’t know how you do it Kath, but you make peanut butter look DANGEROUSLY good. I’m seriously drooling (like usual) at the sight of your food photography. Have a good Monday!
Mama Pea says
It must be karma for calling you obsessed with me for dreaming about me, but I had a dream about you last night! We were rooming together on a trip, along with Ashley, and you had seriously about 20 loaves of Great Harvest bread in our room. IT WAS AWESOME. See you in my dreams again tonight 😉
(okay, that’s just creepy…)
KathEats says
Wheee!
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
I loooovvveee french toast!!! Great idea for a Monday 🙂 and good excuse for running behind!
Katie says
The bread makes this breakfast amazing! I really think the bread looks and sounds amazing ; )
No sun here today, gloomy monday : p
chelsey @ clean eating chelsey says
I always pop out of bed on Monday mornings!
Mary @ Bites and Bliss says
I wish Mondays were slow for me but it’s one of my busiest days of the week. It’s a little rough getting thrown right into it after the weekend!
Kay says
We just went to the Great Harvest in Newton for the first time, we bought Cinammon Chip, High Five and Bruschetta, so good didn’t know which to eat first
Kelsey @ Clean Teen Kelsey says
Don’t worry, that french toast would’ve put me off on a slow start, too. It looks AMAZING. 🙂
Namaste Gurl says
Yum– I love your version of french toast? No egg involved, though? 🙂 Did you sear in coconut oil or just shredded coconut? Looks delish, whatever you did 🙂
have a good day!
KathEats says
Yeah, there was egg! That was assumed when I wrote “French toast” 🙂
Sophie says
Sometimes your replies can be a little curt Kath, maybe something to watch. Readers and commenters are your bread and butter.
KathEats says
My response was written completely lightheartedly. Sorry if it was not read that way!
Erin says
Hence the big smiley face at the end, right? 🙂
Molly says
Enjoy reading, but I completely agree with this comment.
Abby says
French toast on cinnamon chip bread? Count me in! 🙂
Mei says
Hey Kath! What is your favorite GH Whole Wheat bread?
KathEats says
Flax Oat Bran!! Or High Five. Both are excellent!
megan @ the oatmeal diaries says
This looks like the perfect breakfast- definitely worth some extra time in the morning!! Especially with chai tea, my favorite. Speaking of breakfast, I made your dough boy smoothie today! It was so tasty 🙂
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin says
Have you ever had Sunbutter? How does the TJ’s sunflower seed butter compare to it?
KathEats says
I have not ever tried it..
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com says
Now I know what to have for breakfast tomorrow 😀
Hillary says
TJ’s Sunflower Seed Butter is my newest fav! My paring of the week has been on pears! (pardon the pun!)
Hannah says
Just beautiful! You always know how to start your day off right 🙂
Jun says
Hey, it seems to me that you don’t incorporate carbs in your meal (lunh or dinner) sometimes, are there any tips how you chase hunger away?
KathEats says
I don’t think that’s accurate at all! I have carbs with every meal…
