Back at the bakery! Mmmmm it smells good in here!
I’ve been working on paperwork stuff – Matt tends to let that slide when I’m gone! I gotta keep the office in tip top organized shape!
I brought a salad from home filled with mixed greens, cucs, tomatoes, black beans and blue cheese and added tofu and Dakota end pieces for croutons. Plus olive oil, honey and lavender salt for dressings.
Plum on the side. And when I tried to make it plumb with parenthesis THIS appeared automatically!
Weird! Must be a sign to have a beer!
I’m working here till 3:30 then headed to dance and possibly, the pool!
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance says
Haha what?? A mini beer appeared?? It must be a sign that its happy hour
Hilliary @ Happily Ever Healthy says
Its always 5pm somewhere! Enjoy your day at the bakery!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
That beer mug is definitely trying to tell you something! 😉
Heather @ Get Healthy with Heather says
Knoll bakeries do smell soo good. Irresistible! Have fun 🙂
Cait's Plate says
I think that’s definitely a sign to kick back with a nice cold beer tonight 🙂 It also reminds me that I have not had enough plum(b)s this summer!
Enjoy dance (and the pool if you make it there!)
Heather @ Get Healthy with Heather says
Whoops not knoll I meant mmmmm. Strange typing fix…
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg says
I can’t imagine the smell-gasms that must happen working in a bakery. Sigh.
J3nn(Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) says
That salad sounds amazing. Yum!
Gina @ Running to the Kitchen says
Sounds like my house when I’m gone. The mail just piles up and nothing gets filed!
robin says
Oh how I wish I liked tofu and beer:(
Baking N Books says

Shayla @ The Good Life says

Meaghan O'Connor (My Spoonful of Inspiration) says
I have always wondered about tofu (taste, texture, health benefits, brands, etc.) but have never been brave enough to try it! It would be so great if you did a ‘tofu’ feature in an upcoming post!
Alaina says
Ooo-ooh, I’ve never seen plum chutney! Or any kind of plum preserve. Must be delicious. 🙂
Johanna B says
Had a Hu-jazz salad KERF style for lunch myself. So very yum.
Cathy says
snacking on a plum while reading your blog. 🙂
Kristen, Sweetly says
Mmm crusty bread croutons. I’m glad just every once in a while that I don’t work in a bakery. I think my food choices would just get … bigger and bigger. :p
lynn @ the actor's diet says
plum = beer! duh!
Cait @ Cait hates Cake says
I recently tried a combo similar to your honey, olive oil, and lavendar salt topping and it was awesome! New favorite way to dress a salad (and so simple!)
Whitney says
I run Kilwins Chocolate Shoppe with my fiancee. I can we are the same in that I always am the one to organize the office. I find myself saying ” Isn’t there a file folder for that? Then lets put it in the correct file!”. I think its a guy thing. Or maybe he just knows I’ll do it if he doesn’t!
Katelyn @ Chef Katelyn says
What kind of tofu is that! It looks deee-freakin-licious 😉
Josie@ The Skinny Way Of Life says
I.want.that.towel!! I have this thing with antiques and antique looking things, especially food related items!! love it! oh and I bet that chutney with a sharp cheddar on crusty/chewy bread would be ammaaaazzzing
Kristen says
Question regarding bringing your salads from home: Do you put dressing (or EVOO etc. in your case) on your salad as you prepare it so it’s already on and ready to eat, OR do you bring that stuff on the side and dress your salad right before you eat it? I bring a salad to work with me on a regular basis and have a really nifty container that holds the dressing that you can just turn and dump on top of the salad and then shake it all together. However, it is a HUGE container that takes up my entire lunch bag, and since I eat breakfast at work as well, I need room for a LOT of food! Plus, it’s made of plastic and I would really rather be eating my lunch in a glass container.
KathEats says
I put it on before I leave my house. I think because both honey and oil are thick, they don’t make the lettuce soggy. I also don’t use too much – maybe a 1/2 to 1 tsp of each
Sweet and Savvy says
Yay for baking! Hope you Have a great day. 🙂 the salad looks great!
Alex says
Lovely towel 🙂
Angel7 says
The pool would be a great place to be today!

Kat @ Big Apple Little KItchen says
What kind of tofu is that with the black speckles in it? Sesame?
KathEats says
That’s pepper! But it’s Italian herb tofu
Kat @ Big Apple Little Kitchen says
Oh my that sounds delightful. I’ll have to look out for it next time I’m at the market!
Averie @ Love Veggies and Yoga says
spicy plum chutney..i want it!
I buy TJ’s spicy mango chutney by the JAR LOAD! I love chutneys that are fruit based but also with some heat/spice.
And that embroidered dish towel reminds me of my childhood w/ my grandma and helping her embroider. Such a sweet towel!
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
Enjoy dance and pool time!!! Great ending to the day!
Molly @ RDexposed says
You know, I’ve yet to have a plum beer. Does any brewery even make one?
Annette @ EnjoyYourHealthyLife says
Tofu on salads is THE best! Have fun at dance 🙂
Lauren @ What Lauren Likes says
Plum chutney!? bomb. Have fun dancing and hopefully swimming! 🙂
Margo @ Peanut Butter Trees says
Mmm good-lookin salad
Brittany @ Eating Bird Food says
Looks to me like there’s a whole lotta tofu going on too. I love that herbed variety. So good!
Lexi @ A Spoonful of Sunshine says
I love the smell of lavender, but I’ve always been a little bit put off by the “soapy” taste. Do you find that the lavender sea salt is very strongly flavored?
Just curious 😀
KathEats says
I used to think it was soapy too – because that was my only association with it. Now that I eat it often, it’s more of a food than a soap! And it’s made me like the soaps more!
Lexi @ A Spoonful of Sunshine says
Haha that sounds awesome! I’ll have to give it another try 🙂
Namaste Gurl says
Aw, the pool. That sounds so refreshing. Have a wonderful rest of the day!
Ellie@fitforthesoul says
Ehhh? haha, when I type nothing cool ever comes out 😛 I’m loving your photography Kath!!
Amelia (Eating Made Easy) says
Kath, how do you set up automated icons? So cool!
KathEats says
I have no idea! It just popped up. I think it must be a new feature to WLW (I just updated this week)
Kathryn says
In love with both the towel and the idea of plum chutney.
Lovely pictures as always!
Hannah says
I want that embroidered dress!
Jess @JessCantCook says
I just bought that spicy plumb chutney from a wine & cheese shop last month! We’ve tried it with a few cheeses and it’s sooo good. With a glass of wine it’s even better 🙂
Shannon @ My Place In The Race says
The beer mug is a definite sign! 😀 The salad looks yummy!
Kiran @ KiranTarun.com says
Wow! Kath, KERF loads so much more faster!! Kudos 😀
Emily says
Salad looks great! Glad your site is back up and running 🙂
Khushboo says
I think your blog is hinting for you to opt for a beer instead 😉
Aine @ Something to Chew Over says
Yum looks great! 🙂
Dominique says
Okay I have to know…where did you get the lavender salt from? Every store I’ve been to (in Canada) from Whole Foods to independent health stores to fancy grocery stores do not have lavender salt. I thought about making my own but I don’t want to mess up a bunch of dried lavender.
KathEats says
The San Francisco Farmer’s Market. You can make your own – check out Gracefulfitness.wordpress.com
Dominique says
Thanks for the speedy reply. Would you suggest a fine sea salt or a more flake-like sea salt?
KathEats says
Id go with bigger crystals
