Yeast Be With You

Boy am I ready to sink into the couch after this busy day!

IMG_5039Blog-2

IMG_5032Blog-2

[Kale shirt available here!]

We left the house at 11:30 via motorcade [bikes] to head to the bakery. More walls are up! We have electrical!

And then we met our neighbors, Toan and Betsy, owners of Cville Coffee, for lunch!

IMG_5023Blog

Cville Coffee has an awesome menu and atmosphere – tons of sandwiches and salads to choose from.

Matt got the Olive Branch

IMG_5017Blog

And I had the Veggie & Bean, – onions + tofu!

image

IMG_5021Blog

This tofu was simply amazing! The marinade and cooking both made it one of the best tofu bites I’ve had!

IMG_5022Blog

IMG_5019Blog

After our lunch meeting we met a few more neighbors with some loaves – including Tristan and Grace who own a beautiful organic clothing & print store called A Mystery In Common.

imageIMG_5024Blog

We finally left McIntire Plaza and headed home on our bikes. It was freezing and probably dropped 20 degrees since we ran that morning! I was just in short sleeves – brrr! Winter is back.

We turned right around in our car and headed downtown to set up snacks for the United Way board meeting!

IMG_5025BlogIMG_5026Blog

Chalkboards and wheatberries at work!

Naturally Nutty represent!

The event was a great success and we were able to meet a lot of people!

IMG_5036Blog-2

A special shout out to Kristin C. in Chicago because her aunt figured out that the “food blogger” Kristin kept telling her about in Cville was ME!

IMG_5034Blog-2

After all the attendees feasted, so did we 🙂 Mmmmmmmmmmmmm!

IMG_5037Blog-2

After walking up and down the mall delivering a few final baskets, we headed home.

Luckily dinner was a cinch to put together!

IMG_5043Blog

These lentils we made with Faith + Tate on January 3 came out of the freezer, into a pot and into our mouths in 10 minutes! Topped with some salty peanuts for garnish. I said they were just OK in the original post, but I LOVED them tonight! They were cooked with ginger, garam masala and canned tomatoes, I think.

IMG_5046Blog

On the side we had simple sauteed colllard greens with chopped olives and lemon.

IMG_5044Blog-2

His + Hers drinks, although I definitely chugged some of his!

IMG_5040Blog

I’m very excited about going up to read in my cozy bed. After I catch up on a little blog reading first!

    Are you affiliated with Naturally Nutty – yourself or through the bakery? Or do you just highlight them personally?

    I find leftovers taken out of the freezer are better than the original most times! It gives the flavors time to meld. Lasagna leftovers are usually better too 🙂

      There’s no official affiliation, but they work with a lot of Great Harvest’s around the country and do custom products, so we do work together. I also personally happen to love their nut butters

To my great surprise, I just recently found out that there is Great Harvest opening in the next town over from me (Nashua, NH) in April! Wahoo! Can not wait to try all the whole wheat breads! Yum.

    I hear you on it being a long day (I am still at work) – but it sounds like you had a lot of fun. I am keeping fingers crossed for when Naturally Nutty does a product without cane sugar (their vanilla bean paste has cane sugar) because I am dying to try them 🙂

        March 25, 2011 at 7:43 am

        I did food allergy testing and I am mildly intolerant to cane sugar-based products, which is probably why eating it would set off the worse cravings. Even natural sugars give me some amount of cravings so I limit those as well, and I generally just do much better with a low-glycemic diet. Naturally Nutty did inspire me to use my unsweetened sunbutter to make a flavored one, i.e. with vanilla extract and stevia and a smidge of agave 🙂

    I think it’s so great that GH gives out samples. In addition to being really generous and kind, it’s such a wonderful way to let folks try the bread! Last week, I went to a GH for the first time and, when offered a sample, told the woman to give me whatever she liked best. She picked a slice of cracked pepper & parmesan and suggested herb butter to go with–I would *never* have made that choice, but it was AMAZING and I came back this week for a loaf of the bread.

    …and this time, another woman suggested the cranberry flax for my sample. Another winner!

    And, as a bonus, everyone I’ve met at our GH is SO FRIENDLY and sweet. Great product, great people, and…I’m beginning to suspect…great company. 🙂

    I finally tried Great Harvest bread for the first time today! I realized that we have a location fairly close to our house here in The Woodlands, TX, so I swung by today and purchased a loaf of Honey Whole Wheat, Dakota, and Irish Soda Bread. I also bought a jar of Berry Blend (?) Jam! I kept eyeing the gigantic cookies and the owner informed me that every Friday there is “Free cookie Friday”! I know where I’ll be tomorrow! 🙂 I am never buying bread anywhere else!
