Shortly after eating breakfast Shannon’s friend Stefka came over to meet us so we could all head to the bakery. We had wanted to walk but upon stepping outside and feeling how hot it was (and knowing photos would be taken – GIRLS! ) we chose the air-conditioned car instead.
On the way to the bakery we decided to stop at my faaaavorite coffee shop in Atlanta – San Francisco Coffee
I just absolutely love this place. It has such a cozy, coffeehouse feel to it – plus, the coffee is awesome!
Oh yeah – and the bakery section is not so bad either
Despite the fact that I knew we were bakery-bound right after this, I couldn’t resist buying a Vegan Banana Muffin (!!) to go along with my iced coffee
And as usual - Clara had to check out my coffee the instant we got back in the car
Once sufficiently caffeinated, we headed over to Alon’s Bakery -
Holy MOLY guys, this place was AH-MAZING! There were so many delicious offerings I didn’t even know where to start!
But by far the thing that caught my attention the most was this -
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH PEANUT BUTTER!!!!
It took ALL my restraint not to spend the $12 on this jar…but I’m still thinking I might need to go back and just do it! I bet this is completely divine. Maybe once Mike gets here he’ll want to buy it for me
I ended up settling on this beautiful loaf of whole wheat bread.
It’s so pretty I don’t want to cut it! But then again, it smells way too good to resist
We chatted and chomped for a while and then headed back home to hang out a bit longer. It was so nice to finally meet Stefka as I’ve heard SO much about her from my sister!
When Stefka left my sister and I hit the beds for some much-needed naps to gear up for our trip to the Farmer’s Market! I’m SO excited!! Before we left I threw together a quick salad to fuel me through the rest of the afternoon -
The mix was: greens, cinnamon almonds, a Morningstar Farms Garden Vegan Burger and an apple. Hit the spot.
These babies totally made the salad -
We’re off to surround ourselves in fresh produce! My FAVORITE thing to do!! Catch ya’ll on the flip-side

Hi Caitlyn! I have been slightly obsessively following your blog since I found it last week and I just wanted to let you know that i LOVE it. And it lets me see Shannon!!! It amazes me how much you two sound alike – sometimes I even forget that it is you writing and not her! Anyway, I hope you two are having a wonderfully yummy time together. Send all of my love to her (and Patrick and Clara) and tell her i LOVE her house (esp the kitchen)!
)
xoxo
Lily

LILY!! I’m so glad you like it and thanks so much for reading it! I shared your message with Shan and she was so excited about it.
I’ll have to be sure to feature your amazing cookies on the blog come this holiday season! 
I hope you’re doing well!

Clara is adorable – I love chis!
I can’t bring myself to spend $12 for nut butters either but that just sounds SO good. mmmm…
I might have to see if there’s a recipe out there somewhere!

mayapamela – I agree!

i have no problem spending $12 on peanut butter
like oxygen, water, and bread — it is a life staple.
reserve me a jar, cait!

I love coffee shops and bakeries! sounds like an awesome day…and you so know I would have ponyed up the $$$$$ for that PB. Chocolate chip cookie dough? yummmmmm!
caitsplate // July 29, 2009 at 12:15 am |
Whit – HAHA! That’s what I like to hear. You’re totally helping me justify the fact that I think I should get it!
Lynne // July 26, 2009 at 9:24 pm |
I’ve seen that PB at SuperTarget, and for a lot less than $12. If you have a Target near you, I’d check it out.
